Baby Gladiolus 
(Gladiolus nanus) 
A new race of dainty dwarf varieties that completely charm every- 
one who grows them. Though small and slender, the spikes are 
robust and free flowering, and the color range is most varied and 
delightful. In mild climates they are reliably hardy, while in the 
north they are extensively used for winter forcing and can be brought 
into flower as early as March. Plant about 3 inches deep and 4 
inches apart. Under good conditions they multiply rapidly. Flowering 
time outdoors is May or June.

Amaryllis Belladonna 
Hybrids 
Autumn Flowering 
The deliciously sweet scented flowers of these choice hybrids are 
indeed a lovely sight, often measuring three and one-half inches long, 
and borne in striking terminal clusters. In California and the South- 
west where summers are hot and dry, and rains come in the winter, 
it is a superb outdoor subject. In the North it is popular as a pot plant 
when handled by a skillful gardener. 
This graceful ‘Belladonna Lily’ was named for a beautiful shep- 
herdess mentioned in Virgil, no doubt because of the exquisite 
beauty of its blossoms. Plant deeply in rich sandy soil, in a warm 
sheltered spot. 
At present there is a controversy among authorities over the correct 
classification of certain Amaryllis, and several feel that these should 
be termed Brunsvigia Hybrids. 
All except A. Belladonna Parkeri were originated by us. They 
are most free flowering and great improvements over older varieties.

Amaryllis (Hippeastram) 
Van Tubergen’s Superb Dutch Hybrids 
Grown from hand-pollinated seed of selected parents 
Through generations of skillful plant breeding a few Dutch growers 
have produced hybrid Amaryllis of magnificent proportion and breath- 
taking beauty in a good range of clear pure colors. American growers 
have not yet been able to duplicate these results, but several of the 
best hybridists are making very favorable progress. 
Van Tubergen’s strain is exceptional. The colors are very clear 
and true, and the large finely-shaped flowers are distinguished_by 
wide overlapping petals of great substance and noble bearing. The 
bulbs will usually bloom 3 to 4 flowers on a spike, and frequently 
produce 2 spikes, especially after becoming well established. 
As these bulbs are not propagated by the slow costly offset method 
(the only way to produce offspring of identical parent characteristics 
and color) there is some slight variation in shade and tone. However, 

Amaryllis Belladonna Hybrid 
in all cases OUR BULBS ARE CERTIFIED TRUE TO COLOR, 
FORM, BEARING, AND SUBSTANCE. At the end of the first 
blooming season if you feel the results are not up to your expecta- 
tions, or not as described, THE BULB WILL BE REPLACED AT 
NO CHARGE at the beginning of the following shipping season
