Tigridia Grandiflora Hybrids 
The above illustration shows but a few of the marvelous colors of these new Hybrid Tigridias. They 
are also known as ‘“‘Shell Flowers’’ on account of their shell-like substance and again as ‘‘Mexican Tiger 
Flowers’’ because of their spotted throats and the fact that the original species was first discovered in 
Mexico. The blooms, which are 3 to 5 inches in diameter, are sure to be the most showy ones in the 
garden, and they are entirely unlike any other flower. The bulbs I am now offering are the finest I have 
ever been able to offer, both in color-range and size and quality of bulbs. They are simply superb. The 
colors are rich reds, orange, pinks, yellows, whites and various blends of these colors. Most of them have 
the beautifully spotted throat which is one of the features of the flower; in others this spotted throat is 
absent and the flowers are of uniform color throughout. 
They are handled much like gladiolus, planting them outdoors as soon as the weather permits in the 
spring, about 3 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. 8 for $1.00; 18 for $2.00; 30 for $3.00; 100 
for $9.00, 1,000 for $80.00
