GIANT DUTCH 
AMARYLLIS 
No potted plant will attract more attention or give 
both the amateur and professional grower more pleas- 
ure than to see one of our Giant Dutch Hybrid Ama- 
ryllis unfold its gigantic blooms. We have thoroughly 
tested them during the last 2 years and have found 
them so far superior to any other strain that we no 
longer offer anything else. They may seem expensive 
when compared in price to the many cheaper strains 
offered, but we know you will find them well worth 
the difference. All colors offered, except the white 
one, which is a little smaller, produce blooms 6 to 8 
inches across and sometimes larger. We have seen 4 
and 5 blooms on a 2 foot stem giving a floral display 
hard to believe. 
We offer Giant Dutch Amaryllis (imported bulbs) 
in the following colors for shipment any time between 
December 1st and June 1st. : 
BRIGHT SOLID RED ROSE 
PURE WHITE SALMON ORANGE

CHINESE CINNAMON VINE 
The Cinnamon Vine is one of the most satisfac- 
tory climbers. Its handsome foliage and fragrant, 
cinnamon-scented blossoms commend it to every 
lover of' flowers. It is tuberous-rooted and, once 
planted, will grow a lifetime. It is perfectly hardy, 
thrives on all soils, in sun or shade, wet or dry. No 
insects or blight ever trouble. Will quickly sur- 
round your windows, arbors and porches with a mass 
of vines, and profusion of small white flowers. 
While the Cinnamon Vine is grown mainly for its 
beauty and fragrant blossoms, the tubers are edible, 
being most delicious when baked like Sweet Pota- 
toes. 
For windows, plant two on each side. For porches, 
arbors, etc., plant 8 inches or a foot apart, covering 
2 inches, Furnish twine support for the vines.

For Outdoor Spring Planting 
and Indoor Winter Planting 
Everyone succeeds in growing flowers from bulbs, and with very little care excellent results may be ob- 
tained. The hardy bulbs, when once planted, will live outdoors for years without being disturbed. The most 
of the tender varieties, if taken up and given a period of rest, may be re-planted each year and, handled in 
this way, the previous year’s display will be repeated. Unless a variety is marked hardy it should not be left 
outdoors, except in mild climates. Our high quality bulbs and detailed cultural instructions assure you of success,
