about Easter. L. 25c. M. 15c. Pot only large bulbs. 
Lachenalias, or Cape Cowslips, furnish bright colorful flowers from before Christmas 
to February and later. They are small plants, usually one or two leaves. Flower scape 
6” to 12” tall, with 12 to 24 tubular flowers about 1” long. For early flowers start 
them early in September and in no case delay beyond late October to plant. Leaves and 
stems are sometimes gaily spotted and decorative. Culture. Easy outside in mild 
climates and force easily in pots in the house. Give them a cool room. Plant in full 
sun, 2” deep and 2” apart. Several can be planted in a pot at about 2” apart. They may 
be grown outside or in flats and potted when in full bloom. When tops die, dig bulbs 
and store dry. They rot easily in the ground if moisture is received when dormant.

Veltheimia viridifolia. Neither a picture nor words can accurately portray the 
beauty of this plant. For foliage alone it is superb. The vivid glossy green leaves are 
wavy margined and form a nice rosette. In pots, or in the garden in So. Calif. and 
other mild climates, it is in bloom by Dec. 15 and continues for about three months as 
large bulbs send up two or more spikes. The tubular, drooping flowers are densely 
placed on a long raceme. The color is a deep rosy or purplish pink of ineffable tones 
not found in any other flowers. 
Culture is very easy. It prefers a sandy soil to which peat or leaf mould has been 
added. In pots the drainage should be perfect. They must be ordered early as nothing 
holds them back. Best to order before Sept. 15 or Oct. 1. 
Specially priced. 50c ea. $6.00 per doz. Extra large bulbs—75c, $1 00 and $1.50 ea.
