E 5 Ve & a "2 TIGRIDIA GRANDIFLORA HYBRIDS—See illustration below. Also 
‘ ; \ s 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 flowers 
in the garden. 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 beauti- 
fully 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 out- 
doors as soon as the weather 
permits in the spring, about 3 
inches deep and 4 to 6 inches 
apart.

CELESTIAL FIG TREE—Most gardeners are not aware that figs are hardy 
and will grow like the one above right in our northern states. Even if the tips 
are killed back by severe freezing weather they will make new growth and 
produce huge quantities of fruit all summer long. If you have never eaten 
fresh figs, picked right off your own trees, you have a pleasant surprise coming 
to you; and 9s a desert, sliced and served with cream, there is no more delicious 
delicacy. The illustration above shows a tree after the leaves have dropped 
in the fall and a crop of fruit is still hanging on the tree. I have this season the 
finest and strongest fig trees I have ever been able to offer. They are ready to 
bear. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00; 6 for $7.50; 12 for $13.50; 100 for $75.00,
