CANDIDUM SALONIKAE 
MISCELLANEOUS 
ALSTROEMERIA 
This plant is known as the Peruvian Lily, a native of South America. It 
grows very well in some sections of the U. S., especially in Western Wash- 
ington and Oregon and Northern California. Probably would thrive equally 
as well in Southern sections, and in protected places elsewhere. Large 
umbels of trumpet-shaped flowers in many shades grow on long stiff stems. 
Colors range from deep orange through yellow, pink, rose, and on to pure 
white, the lower petals being flecked with deep brown spots, very small. 
One of the most interesting and beautiful flowers we have ever seen. They 
grow rather from a fleshy root than a bulb—and these roots are planted 
HORIZONTALLY. Roots shipped only in late Fall or early Spring. Alstroe- 
meria is highly recommended for cut flowers, for blooms last several days 
in bouquets. 
Aurantiaca—Shades of yellow, deepening to flame orange. A strong grow- 
ing plant. Multiplies rapidly from roots. 
Each 35c, Three $1.00, Six $2.00 
Chilensis—Shades from deep rose through pink to pure white. Stalks stiff, 
slender and graceful. Multiplies quickly. 
Each 50c, Three $1.40, Six $2.75 
Seed—Of either variety. Plant 1 inch deep in mellow soil; keep moist first 
season; mulch heavily in winter. Plants should bloom second season.

SEEDLING PLANTS 
To customers west of the Rocky Mountains only, please: We usually have 
@ limited number of seedling plants available each spring. These cannot 
be shipped too far, for they may die in the mails. Most of them will bloom 
nicely in late fall. 
Each 25c, Six $1.35, Dozen $2.50 
LILY SEED 
HY NOT try a few lilies from seed? It's lots of fun, and 
a very nice collection of lilies can be acquired without 
a lot of outlay. Takes a little longer, but good experience can 
be gained in handling the varieties from infant stage to ma- 
turity. The following varieties germinate quickly and grow 
rapidly under favorable conditions. Three to four weeks re- 
quired for germination. 
Plant seeds one-half inch deep in mellow soil, either in 
flats or out-of-doors. Cover the beds with burlap or cloth until 
sprouting occurs, then remove covering and cultivate, but keep 
seedlings moist all during the season. A little shade is very 
beneficial. Bulbs can be left in seed bed until fall of second 
year, then transplanted to permanent groups. At the end of the 
first season, more earth and good mulch should be placed over 
the seedlings to prevent heaving. 
The following seed are offered subject to quantity on hand.

ENGLISH IRIS SEED——English Iris can be grown from seed just as easy as 
any other bulb plant. Seed may take several weeks to germinate, so do 
not become discouraged. Practically all of it will come. Blooms second 
or third season after planting. Our seed was saved from our collection 
of varieties, in 1944. Should give a nice range of colors, some very inter- 
esting, and surely all beautiful. Plant 1 inch deep in good soil and keep 
moist first season. If seedlings are too crowded they may be transplanted 
at the end of the first season, setting them down to two or three inches 
deep. Fully matured bulbs should be set down at least five inches in 
permanent plantings. 
Per packet—50c 
TIGRIDIA GRANDIFLORA SEED—(Mixed Only)—This is seed saved from all 
of our varieties, and promises some real surprises for the patient gar- 
dener. Plant thinly in rews one-half inch deep. Cover with burlap or cloth 
and keep the soil MOIST constantly. Be patient, for Tigridia seeds may 
take eight weeks to sprout. Tiny plants look like blades of grass, so be 
careful in weeding. If carefully tended and kept moist all summer, some 
may bloom the first season. Take up carefully and bury deeply in damp 
sand or peat, before freezing weather. Store in a cool place, under 409 de- 
grees if possible. 
Per packet—35c 
NOTE—All seeds listed in this catalog may be planted in early spring, as 
soon as the soil can be worked nicely.
