DUTCH IRIS 
A glorious display of orchid-like, graceful flowers may be had 
in June if you plant bulbs of these beautiful iris in September 
or October in well-drained, sandy loam, 3 to 4 in. deep and 
6 in, apart. In cold climates, mulch ground well after it is 
frozen. It is their nature to root early and often make top 
growth in December. Beautiful in the garden; highly prized 
for cutting and last a long time when put in water. Valuable 
for greenhouse forcing. If you live in Florida, any of the Gulf 
States, Texas or New Mexico, bulbs planted in late fall should 
‘produce plenty of flowers during the winter months.

ANEMONE CORONARIA 
Neat, compact plants with long, stiff-stemmed, showy flowers in many charming colors, such 
as blue, rose, scarlet, white, etc. Bloom in May and June. Plant bulbs 3 in. deep and 6 in. apart 
in a cool, moist, but well-drained soil. Require winter protection north of Washington, D. C., 
unless they are planted in a very sheltered location. In northern states, or in any cold section, 
we do not advise outdoor fall planting; it is better to wait until spring. In southern states, 
fall planting is best. Fine for pot culture, borders and rock gardens. Ideal for cutting. 1 ft.

RANUNCULUS 
8977 Tecolete Giants The largest and most magnificent strain ever offered. Giant 
double and semi-double flowers, 3 in. and more across, are freely borne on strong stems, 
12 to 15 in. long. Our mixture contains a wonderful range of colors—yellows, from straw 
to deep golden yellow; all shades of red, orange; pink; many ringed and tipped with a 
deeper color. Do best in a shady location and in moderately rich soil. Fine for cutting. 
Not reliably hardy north of Washington, D C., except in warm, sheltered locations. 
Splendid for growing in frames or pots. Set roots, claws downward, 2 in. deep, 4 to 6 in. 
apart. If grown in pots, plant 6 to 8 roots in a 6-in pot; cover roots with 1 in. of soil, 
and allow 2 in. of space between them. Ranunculus roots are small and resemble tiny 
clumps of ,dahlias. 3 for 20¢; 12 for 65¢; 100 for $4.50 
In northern states, or in any cold section, we advise waiting until spring to plant Ranunculus and 
Anemone bulbs outdoors. Both of these classes, however, are suitable for indoor winter culture or 
growing in frames.
