Please remember that the rate per dozen is ten times the price of one bulb. 
Bulblets. If bulblets are peeled carefully without bruising, planted early, kept moist 
until they come up and given good culture thereafter which includes plenty of irrigation, 
many will flower the first year. A large proportion will make large or medium sized 
high crowned bulbs. They do quite well without peeling. The following list are not 
common, ordinary varieties that can be sold for little-or-nothing per pint. We would 
not sell them if we had land enough to plant all as these are top-notch varieties. 
The varieties offered are Ethel Cave Cole, Capeheart, Wanda, Charles Dickens 
(mixed with Capeheart, etc.), Margaret Beaton and Assorted. Price per pint, $1.00. 
Red Unknown, per half pint, $1.00. We are able to rogue the large bulbs but bulblets 
and small bulbs have not all flowered and may contain a few rogues. We have adjusted 
this on the bulblets by pricing them at one-half of last year’s price. 
Gladiolus nanus, Baby Glads. These small, exquisite Glads are suitable for growing 
in pots in the north as they range in height from 1’ to 2’. They must be planted in the 
fall as bulbs do not keep until spring. In the south they may be grown in the outside 
garden and are a little hardier than Freesias. They are winter growers and do not do 
well in warm weather. 
Mrs. Foster’s Purple. This is possibly a species, but is one of the best we grow. 
Its vivid color makes it most desirable for cutting. 50c per bulb. 
Charm. A fine, rosy lavender. 20c ea. 
Assorted colors, pink and red tones. 10c ea. 
W atsonias 
Close relative of the Gladiolus but winter growing and earlier in bloom. They grow 
as tall or taller. The flowers are smaller but in very lovely spikes useful for cutting. The 
colors are varied, in most pleasing pastel tones, and bloom early if planted early. Better 
even the second and third years. Easy to have them for Decoration Day or before in 
Southern California. In most cases we have discarded names and substituted the name 
of their color. 
Culture: About the same as Glads. In the south they must be planted in early fall 
(Sept. best) as the bulbs sprout early. Hardy at Washington, D. C., and probably in all 
climates where temperatures do not go below zero, if planted in a well protected place 
4” deep and well mulched. On the border line of their hardiness, as in Virginia they 
have been grown and flowered in an unheated cloth house and survived outside tempera- 
tures of slightly under zero. They must be grown very cool in greenhouses.
