W atsonias 
Watsonias are gladiolus cousins in a variety of colorful shades, with flaring 
trumpet-shaped flowers on tall stems, usually curved or gracefully wavy, suitable for 
warm climates where heavy freezes are not common. They can stand several degrees 
of frost in winter. Their growth is mostly evergreen, although there are one or two 
deciduous species. Bulbs are planted in the fall, and dug in midsummer. They 
usually grow too tall for greenhouses. Any good gladiolus soil suits them, and an acid 
leaf mold loam is excellent. Blooms appear in midwinter and spring. 
Mixed colors, $1.25 per doz., Pure White, $2.00 per doz. 
Watsonia marginata, tall stems with small violet flowers, 50c ea.
