LIST FOR SPRING PLANTING 
We offer here'a very complete list of bulbs for spring planting. You will find here many fine 
flowers not usually listed. It is always our endeavor to secure quality in bulbs and to offer proven 
varieties. These offers subject to change in 1950 Fall Catalog. All prices postpaid unless otherwise noted. 
Abyssinian Sword Lily 
A new introduction to the world of cultivated 
flowers. A real find from Western Abyssinia. It 
grows from bulbs or corms which form numerous 
bulblets or cormels. As easily grown as the gladi- 
olus, it is similarly planted and harvested. It 
flowers from mid-August to September. It has tall 
rigid stems, 4 feet or higher, with very sweetly 
scented flowers. Petals are pure glistening white 
with a purplish maroon blotch at their base. An 
excellent cut flower. Excellent flowering size 
bulbs but naturally small. Available in February 
and March. Each 20c; 3 for 55¢c; doz. $2.00. 
Agapanthus 
(BLUE LILY OF THE NILE) 
They produce large umbels containing 100 up to 
150 buds and blooms all at once, blooming in July 
and August. The evergreen foliage resembles that 
of the amaryllis and the flower stems stand sturdy 
as high as 4 feet. Hardy along the coast and 
throughout California except in high elevations. 
In other sections it is best to cover them during 
winter. Large, single divisions available January 
to April. Each 45ce; 3 for $1.20; doz. $4.50. 
Amaryllis 
CALIFORNIA HYBRIDS—A fine strain of large 
Amaryllis Hybrids. The bulbs can be potted 
October to May and flower freely indoors. They 
can also be grown in the garden and be taken up 
and stored like Gladioli. A good range of colors 
in mixture. Large bulbs. Each %5ec; 3 for $2.00; 
doz. $7.50. Postpaid. 
HARDY AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA—Through- 
out the spring months they produce attractive 
green foliage which dies down in July. A month 
later the flower stalks spring out of the ground 
to a height of 2 to 3 feet with umbels of lily 
shaped flowers 8 to 12 in number and of delicate 
lilac pink color. Large bulbs. Each 50c; 3 for $1.35; 
doz. $5.00. 
Begonia Bulbs 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED 
They begin blooming in July and are very 
valuable for summer flowers in shady places. They 
produce huge flowers in a great range of pastel 
and bright colors. The enormous blooms, often 
6 inches and more across, are held above the 
broad, attractive foliage. They may be grown in 
pots inside or started in pots and planted outside. 
Cultural directions will be sent with each order.
