HOUSE PLANT SURPRISE 
Delightful amazement here. Seeds of perhaps a hundred different 
ornamentals suitable for pot culture in sunny window or green- 
house, have gone into this blend. Many are rare, unusual. Sift 
fine seeds from the coarse before sowing, since latter will need 
deeper covering. Pkt. 30c; 3 pkts. for 80c. 
THE ROCK LILY 
It is ARTHROPODIUM CIRRATUM, a pretty New Zealand 
lily-cousin with wide, pendulous foliage and graceful panicles of 
white blossoms, or sometimes pink-suffused. Good cut flower. It 
makes a most pleasing pot plant for window or greenhouse. Seeds, 
pkt. 25c. Plants, each 50c. 
BULBS FOR THE WINTER WINDOW 
It is really not a very difficult matter to have winter window 
flowers, that is, if you will not try to rush them, and will follow 
the directions in the leaflet that we send out with each lot of 
bulbs for forcing. 
FREESIA PEERLESS BLEND— It has been called the loveliest of 
winter bulb-flowers, with its sprays of intensely sweet wax- 
trumpet blossoms in snowiest white, pink, rose, lilac, lavender, 
carmine tones, primrose, golden, blue, violet and the like in 
many a rich shading or dainty suffusion. It is near to being the 
easiest and surest when it comes to forcing, too, though Triteleia 
and some others might challenge the claim. This is a splendid, 
large-flowered strain. Plant Freesias liberally. 5 for 35c; 10 for 
60c; 25 for $1.35; 100 for $5.00. 
THE CUBAN JACINTH—Well-grown, 
and in fully glory of blossoming, it is, 
perhaps the most beautiful of pot plants. 
Rich blue blossoms are densely packed 
in wide-based, pyramidal clusters, often 
as many as 100 open at once in a single 
spike. The effect is rather overwhelming. 
Perhaps best handled as a winter pot- 
bulb under glass, though from Philadel- 
phia south it is garden-hardy if given a 
protection of straw or litter. It is Scilla peruviana, illustrated 
opposite. Large bulbs, each 50c; 3 for $1.40; 10 for $4.00. 
NARCISSUS PAPERWHITE—Clusters of snowy white, richly 
fragrant blossoms. One of the easier and surer bulb-flowers for 
indoor forcing. Will bloom within a few weeks when planted in 
pebbles and water, or it may be potted in soil. Make successive 
plantings every three weeks, from the middle of October to the 
middle of March and you can have continuous bloom all winter. 
Please note that we supply large bulbs, 14-15 em. size. 5 for 50c; 
10 for 90c; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.50. 
CHINESE SACRED LILY—Really a Narcissus, closely related to 
the Paper White, and to be grown in the same way. Does very 
well in pebbles and water. The fragrant flowers are creamy white 
with soft yellow centers, and are carried in big clusters. 3 for 35c; 
10 for 90c; 25 for $2.00; 100 
for $7.50. 
AMARYLLIS GIANT HYBRIDS 
—Magnificent flowers, great, ex- 
panded trumpets in rose, scarlet, 
crimson, all one color, or more 
often with white star-throats, or 
great splashings and barrings of 
white. There is no more spectac- 
ular bulb-flower for pot culture, 
and that culture is easy, too, easy 
enough for any sunny window. 
It is hard to fail with Amaryllis. - 
Illustrated opposite. Bulbs, mixed 
colors only, each 70c; 3 for $2.00; 
10 for $5.70; 25 or $12.50. Seeds 
also available, see page 6 of 
Catalog #53. 
MOREA POLYSTACHYA — Big, open: 
sprays of blossoms, shaped like giant but- 
terflies; are carried on thim, wiry stems. 
Soft mauve, marked with parma violet. 
Give gentle forcing. 2 for 35c; 7 for $1.00; 
25 for $3.00. 
LACHENALIA AUREA—Beautiful, pen- 
dulous flowers of golden yellow, about 25 
of them to a stem. A particularly satis- 
factory pot bulb. Handle like Freesia. 
3 for 50c; 10 for $1.25. 
LACHENALIA GLAUCINA—From pale 
blue suffusions to sapphire tones. A gem, 
Stock limited. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. CaAcH ENA LILA
