Regarding red Saintpaulias. There is no true specimen red. Red-purple 
more truthfully describes the reds. There are no yellow Saintpaulias. Never will 
be. This answers inquiries before asking. 
Gloxinias and Achimines will be offered in our spring catalog. 
THE ORCHID FAMILY—Orchidaceae 
We no longer include our complete list of Orchids in our general catalogs 
as to do so would require one half of this catalog, and only about one fourth of 
our customers buy Orchids. 
If you are interested in the purchase of good orchid plants it will be sent 
free for a post card request. 
Better still, if you want to know how easy it is to grow orchids, please send 
25c for our booklet, ‘How To Grow Orchids.’”? When you learn what equipment is 
needed -and culture requirements you will be better able to decide on whether 
you wish to grow them. If you are already experienced and have plants you will 
find our price list offers 25 var. of Cattleyas, many Cymbidiums, Cypripediums 
and other species. 
We include only the most interesting and useful. 
We have a large stock of Cymbidiums. They are as easy to grow as Bearded 
Iris and make good house plants. We believe our new, reduced prices are the 
lowest to be found anywhere. 
The following were omitted from the price list. 
Bletilla hyacintha. This terrestial orchid is hardy and may be grown in the 
garden. 8 or 10 small orchids are born on a 12” scape. Each flower is about 1%”

other plants. We offer the best in appearance and durability, silver bright, elec-

RANUNCULUS AND ANEMONES-Ranunculaceae 
Ranunculus range in color from red, pink, yellow to white. The strain if 
well grown produces giant double flowers on tall stems. 
Anemones are red, pink, white and blue but blue predominate. The flowers 
of this strain are mostly single which we prefer in Anemones. 
Culture. Best planting time is Sept. Bulbs start better in a medium tem- 
perature. In hot weather, start them in a flat in the cool shade of a tree. In cold 
weather start them in a moderately warm room. When not over 1” high transfer 
to garden. For pots, place pots when starting the bulbs as directed for the flats. 
The best soil is rich sandy loam. To heavier soils add much leaf mould. Do not 
water much when sprouting as the best bulbs will rot if too wet. 
We offer only the large size. They cost much more per bulb but each bulb
