BULBS FOR THE WINTER WINDOW 
It is really not a very difficult matter to have winter 
window flowers, that is if you will not try to rush them 
too much, and will follow the directions in the leaflet that 
we send out with each lot of bulbs for forcing. 
TRITONIA CROCATA MIXED—Exquisite, sparkling pinks, 
soft salmons, apricot, flaming orange, scarlet. Blossoms of 
satiny sheen, carried in graceful sprays. As easy as Freesia, 
and to be handled in just the same way. 4 for 25c; 9 for 
50c; 19 for $1.00. 
HYACINTH FRENCH ROMAN—Gracefully informal, open 
spikes of snowy white bells, petals thick and waxy. Sweetly 
perfumed. Forces very easily for winter bloom. Bulbs small- 
er than those of other Hyacinths. Plant three or more to a 
pot. 3 for 40c; 8 for $1.00. 
TRITELEIA COERULEA—Multitudes of inch-wide, upfac- 
ing blossoms pretty much all winter, in palest china blue 
to near deep indigo. No surer nor easier winter pot bulb. 
3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 16 for $1.00. 
OXALIS VARIABILIS ROSEA—A charming winter bulb, 
as near to overblooming as any may well be. Plants like 
densely foliaged cushions, set with short-stemmed blossoms 
that are, for an Oxalis, of ‘truly immense size, these in 
rich, clear pink, deep-centered with creamy primrose, 
petals undulate. An easy pot-bulb for everyone’s window, 
that can hardly be recommended too highly. 4 for 25c; 9 for 
50c; 20 for $1.00.

frond-like foliage, covered with little rose-red flowers. 4 for

bulb of profuse, long-continued floriferousness. Rich, golden 
blossoms are carried in graceful, arching sprays. 5 for 25c;

well in the summer garden, but also it forces with consid- 
erable ease, and to much interesting beauty, if handled in 
pots in a not-too-hot window in winter. Flowers of rich 
rose-crimson cluster on foot-high stems abcve radiating, 
wheel-like leaflets. Specially selected big bulbs, 6 for 25c; 
12 for 45c. 
BABY GLADIOLUS—This is the famed Tecolete strain. The 
natural flowering season of it is the winter months, so it is 
just naturally built for pot forcing in the North. The 
flowers are airy in form, in shades and tones of orchid, 
salmon, rose, pink and crimson, usually with contrasting 
diamond-shaped marking on the lower petal. Start in the 
dark, and grow them slowly, in temperatures not too high, 
when brought to the light. 3 for 35c; 9 for $1.00; 20 for 
$2.00. 
GLADIOLUS TRISTIS CONCOLOR—Oddly formed creamy 
flowers that first open at dusk. They carry a delicious, 
spicy fragrance. Forces readily for late winter bloom.

definitely a winter pot bulb. 3 for 35c; 9 for $1.00. 
VELTHEIMIA VIRIDIFOLIA—A spectacular pot bulb with 
decorative, glossy crispy foliage and dense massive trusses 
of flowers in rosy pink with buff hintings and cinnabar 
tones. The bulbs ripen off after flowering, but will bloom 
again each winter for many years, so this is really long- 
time investment in pleasure. Large bulbs, each 50c; 3 for 
$1.35. 
MOREA POLYSTACHYA—Big, open sprays of blossoms, 
shaped like giant butterflies, are carried on thin, wiry 
stems. Soft mauve, marked with rich Parma violet. Force

sure and handsome bulb for late winter flowers. 3 for 25c; 
9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00; 50 for $2.40. 
ALLIUM NEAPOLITANUM—A desirable and really beauti- 
ful forcing bulb that has long been appreciated abroad at 
its full good worth. Clusters of flowers in snowiest white, 
centered with dark stamens. Small bulbs, use at least 3 
to a pot. 3 for 25c; 10 for 70c.
