FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS 
FRITILLARIA 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS. Called the Guinea Hen 
Flower here and in England the Snake’s Head Fritil- 
lary, this charming bulbous plant can be naturalized in 
full sun or partial shade. Its drooping bell-shaped 
flowers, checkered with purple on yellow, are produced 
in April and May. The coloration and markings vary, 
some individuals being almost pure white. Should be 
planted in clumps for best results, about six inches 
deep. Don’t plan on moving them for several years. 
Mixed colors only, 12 for 50c; 100 for $3.50.

GLADIOLUS NANUS 
(Baby Glads) 
Beautiful new strain of fall planted gladiolus; an ex- 
tremely popular tlower of marvelous grace and beauty. 
The dainty flowers carry the characteristic diamond- 
shaped markings on the lower petals. These flowers are 
easily grown and hardy down to a temperature of about 
10 degrees F. In colder climates they should be grown 
in a frame and well mulched. For us here at Floravista, 
they bloom in late June and early July, before the regular 
glads come into bloom, and are much sought after by 
florists. They make very dainty table arrangements, 
being smaller and much more graceful than the later 
blooming varieties. Plant about 4 inches deep in Sept. 
and Oct. Priced at 3 for 30c; 12 for $1.00; 100 for $7.00.

Very large flowers on fine 
BYZANTINUS. A robust grower for a species variety and 
petals more spreading at maturity. Upper three petals 
are dark purple and three lower ones have a prominent 
white stripe. Byzantinus is hardier than most baby 
glads, but still little known in most gardens. 
PEACH BLOSSOM. Uniform delicate pink. 
SPITFIRE. Brilliant scarlet with deeper blotches. 
free flowering and the best in its color class.

NYMPH. Large pure white flowers with crimson 
blotches in lower petals. The lovely white flowers 
look as if a nymph had dabbed a bit of paint on the 
lower petals, sometimes letting a little of it slip over 
onto the upper petals by mistake. Extra strong 
grower and one of the tallest varieties; graceful 
branching sprays. An extra choice variety. $ for 
45; 12 for $1.50. (Not included in collection. ) 
WARNING. While English Iris and Baby Glads grow to 
perfection along the Pacific Coast and in warmer sections 
of the country, in colder climates they should be treated as 
semi-hardy and given a nice warm mulch. Plant Baby 
Glads as late as possible before the soil freezes, so as to 
discourage top growth which would freeze and damage 
the growth of the plant. If you want to experiment, try a 
few at first to see what success vou will have in your 
colder climate. Unless you know how they perform in 
your locality, don’t buy in quantity. We want to sell you 
the bulbs, but we also want you to get results from them.
