Large-Flowered Ranunculus 
IN GORGEOUS COLORS 
Each year Ranunculus becomes more popular as a cut flower. With their richly 
colored flowers and simple growing habits it is little wonder that the demand 
exceeds the supply every year. Our Large Flowered Hybrids are by far the 
largest and finest strain of Ranunculus we have ever seen. They produce full 
double flowers with a blending of semi-double and single blooms. They measure 
two inches and more across and range in color through all the shades of red, 
rose, salmon, orange, yellow, etc. Such desirable and inexpensive bulbs should 
be planted liberally for cut flowers that start blooming in late June. Bulbs can 
be grown or planted outside after the 
ground thaws, or grown indoors in 
pots. Recommended for partial shade,

Tuberose Tigridia paid. 2 Large-Flowered Ranunculus 
TIGRIDIA (Tiger or Shell Flower) 
Showy, bulbous plants suitable for the mixed border, growing about 18 inches high, bearing erect 
spikes of large attractive flowers with oddly blotched cup-shaped centers. Few flowers are more gor- 
geously colored or so beautiful. Bloom from middle of July to September. The bulbs are edible. When 
plain boiled and seasoned they have a delicious, nutty flavor, as palatable as a potato. They are 
easily grown and keep better than potatoes. The Tigridia should be extensively grown in vegetable and 
flower gardens everywhere. Bulbs are planted and handled the same as Gladiolus. Mixed. Colors, 
20c each; 3 for 50c; 12 for $1.75, postpaid. 






This bulb, known botanically as Lycoris Squamigera, is a native: 
MAG i C Li Ly of Japan and one of the most interesting members of the Amaryllis 
family. Each spring it produces attractive green foliage which 
disappears in midsummer. Abo ut a month later, as if 
by magic, the flower stalk Sarena bearing a cluster 
of 7 to 12 beautiful, fragrant, lily-shaped flowers of 
delicate lilac-pink. 
The Magic Lily is perfectly hardy in the Northern 
States, where it may be left in the ground year after 
year unmolested. If planted in August they will flower 
the same summer they are set out. Order now and we 
will ship at the proper planting time. Price, $1.00 
each ; 3 for $2.50, postpaid. 

Magic Lily 
Fairy Lilies (Zephyranthes) 
One of the prettiest and most easily grown bulbs; white and rose colored flowers, similar to the Amaryllis, but 
of miniature growth. For an effective display, the best way is to plant several pulbs in a box or flower pot. They 
can also be planted in the open ground in the spring, where they flower in great profusion during the summer; suit- 
able for the rock garden. Bulbs should be taken up in the fall and treated the same as Gladiolus.
