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. You will always 
wish you had planted more. 10 for 55c; 25 for $1.20; 100 for $4.50. 
THE CUBAN JACINTH—The most beautiful of bulb-flowers for 
pot culture when it is well-grown; that :is 
our estimate of the Cuban Jacinth, Scilla 
peruviana. Rich blue blossoms are densely 
packed in pyramidal clusters to one foot 
of height. Showier, more massive, yet more 
graceful than a giant Hyacinth. Rich blue 
always. Usually grown as a pot bulb in 
window or greenhouse, but with some pro- 
tection it is reasonably garden-hardy from 
Philadelphia south. Illustrated opposite. 
large bulbs, like those of Hyacinth. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00. 
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 cm. size. 5 for 50c; 
10 for 90c; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.50. 
NARCISSUS SOLEIL d’OR—Consider it a Paperwhite Narcissus 
with flowers of rich golden yellow with orange-red cups. Forces 
wonderfully, safely and surely, for winter flowers when grown in 
soil in pots. 5 for 65c; 10 for $1.25; 25 for $2.80. 
AMARYLLIS GIANT HYBRIDS 
—Magnificent flowers, great, ex-. 
panded trumpets in rose, scarlet, 
crimson, all one color, or more “ 2 (EZ px 
often with white star-throats, or SS | ZKGAa 
—s 
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 for $12.50. Seeds 
also available, see page 15 of 
Catalog #55. 
THE EASTER LILY—The rather 
dwarf, compact plants bear free- 
ly large and fragrant trumpet 
flowers of purest waxen white- 
ness. We offer bulbs of Lilium longiflorum Croft Strain, in our 
opinion the very best of the Easter Lilies for growing in pots 
under glass. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50. 
AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 
SPARAXIS BLEND—Big blossoms, well- 
carried, several open at once. The bril- 
liant, widely.inclusive colorings, often in 
contrasting zonings, include lavender, lilac, 
cream, yellow, salmon, orange, and scar- 
let. Forced slowly it is a sure and hand- 
some bulb for late winter flowers. 4 for 
25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00. 
BABIANA AZURE BLUE—Lovely flow- 
ers in the purest and nfost intense of blues, 
rather like a vivid blue Sparaxis, and to 
be handled in the same way. Easy for - 
"ho TG fs “ne abe bloom. 3 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for 
TRITONIA CROCATA MIXED—Exquisite, sparkling pinks, soft 
salmons, apricot, flaming orange, scarlet. Blossoms of satiny 
sheen, carried in graceful sprays. As easy as Freesia, and to be 
handled in just the same way. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00.
