In ordering any of the above species and hybrids it is advisable to state 
a second and even a third choice unless you order very early. On some, our 
stock is small and at above prices, they are likely to sell out rather early. 
Special Offer of Hybrid Cattleyas. We have recently divided some very 
large pots that had grown over the sides of the old pots. These are now in 
new oSmundine and established in 6” pans. A few are in 5” pots. Every one 
will be labelled, but there are only a few pots of some sorts, so we will not 
list the names but will send you our selection from those available when 
you order. These are newer hybrids of excellent quality. The colors are nearly 
all in shades of lavender tho a few may be white with colored lip. 
The largest plants are priced at $7.50. The second sizes at $5.00. As to 
actual value even 2 or 3 back bulbs should be worth the latter price. A few 
are in bud sheath and these may flower in 3 or 4 months. 
Note please that we ship Cattleyas in their clay pots by express f.o.b. 
only.

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 
temperature. 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 gives so many flowers that your flowers cost no more and are earlier, 
larger, better and more sure.
