Great Beauty, Yet Fast Growing And 
Inexpensive 
Be prepared for a surprise after you plant some of these for they 
multiply so rapidly that their numbers increase each year and must be 
weeded out from time to time. These blooms bear a striking resem- 
blance to the Orchid and their rich colors are most fascinating, rang- 
ing from pure white through golden yellow to Cornflower-blue, dark 
violet and deep purple. They are excellent for cutting, stand a lot of 
handling and last even longer when put in water. All they ask is a 
sunny spot, fairly well drained and a little protection when the 
weather is extremely cold. We know of no other bulb that is so lovely 
and, at the same time, so low in cost. It is not without reason that in 
England they are known as “The Poor Man’s Orchid.” By all means, 
include some of these lovelies in your order today. 
P.S.—For those who are fortunate to have a winter cottage in 
Florida or customers who live in other Gulf Coast territory or perhaps 
in Texas or New Mexico, we recommend planting bulbs in the garden 
during November and December for an abundance of flowers in late 
January, February and March. The variety Wedgewood is particu- 
larly fine for this purpose and NEVER fails to produce remarkable 
results.
