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. 
AMARYLLIS GIANT HYBRIDS—No more spectacular pot 
bulb than this. Magnificent Lily-like flowers that may be 
rose, scarlet. crimson, all one color, or splashed against 
white. Mixed only, each 60c; 3 for $1.65; 10 for $4.00. (Illus- 
trated page 4.) 
HYACINTH FRENCH ROMAN—Gracefully informal, open 
spikes of snowy white bells, petals thick and waxy. Sweet- 
ly perfumed. Forces very easily for winter bloom. Bulbs 
smaller than those of the big Dutch Hyacinths, but they 
are quicker and surer in coming into flower. Plant three 
or more to a pot. 3 for 40c; 8 for $1.00. J 
TRITELEIA COERULEA—Blue-Star Flower. Perhaps the 
quickest, easiest, and longest blooming of any bulb that 
ean be forced for winter flowers. It is hard to fail with 
it. Multitudes of inch-wide, upfacing blossoms pretty 
much all winter, from pale china blue to near indigo. 
Garden-hardy, too. 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 16 for $1.00. (Illus- 
trated page 4.) : 
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. Illustrated on outside cover 
page of this folder. Large bulbs, each 50c; 3 for $1.35. 
SPARAXIS BLEND—Big blossoms, well-carried, several 
open at once. The brilliant, widely inclusive colorings, 
often in contrasting zonings, include lavender. lilac, cream, 
yellow, salmon, orange, and scarlet. Forced slowly it is a 
sure and handsome bulb for late winter flowers. Also, with 
heavy mulching, it may be wintered in the open ground in 
many parts of the North. A beauty, that everyone should 
grow. 3 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00; 50 for $2.40. (Illus- 
trated page 13.) 
BABIANA HYBRIDS—Lovely flowers that may be blue of 
Gentian, lilac, lavender, violet, cream, white or carmine. As 
easy as Sparaxis, and for same handling. 3 for 25c; 9 for 
50c. (Illustrated page 16.) 
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. 
LEUCOCORYNE IXIODES ODORATA—A Chilean exquisite 
from Andean foothills that is called Glory of the Sun. 
The 18-inch stems each carry several large and starry blue 
flowers with undulate petals and white centers. The flow- 
ers are pleasingly fragrant, long-lasting. The bulbs re- 
spond readily to winter forcing, though this should on the 
slow, cool side. Also they may be wintered in the open 
ground most years, from Philadelphia south at least, if 
given good protection of straw or leaves. 3 for 35c; 9 for 
$1.00; 25 for $3.00. 
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. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBELLATUM—The handsome Ara- 
bian Star of Bethlehem. Rather broad clusters of pure 
white flowers with black-olive centers. Excellent pot bulb. 
Also will often winter outside in middle states if well 
mulched. 3 for 35c; 9 for $1.00; 25 for $2.60. 
FREESIA RAINBOW BLEND—Many there are who call 
this the loveliest of winter bulb-flowers, with its sprays 
of intensely sweet wax-trumpet blossoms in snowiest 
white, pink, rose, lilac, lavender, carmine tones, primrose, 
golden, blue, violet and the like in many a rich shading 
or dainty suffusion. It is near to being the easiest and 
surest when it comes to forcing, too, though Triteleia and 
some others might challenge the claim. This is a splendid, 
large-flowered strain. Plant Freesias liberally. 4 for 25c; 
9 for 50c; 20 for $1.00; 50 for $2.00. 
FREESIA PURITY SUPERFLORA—A giant-flowered pure 
white Freesia, richly fragrant. Altogether lovely. 4 for 25c; 
9 for 50c; 20 for $1.00.
