Danfordiae Six $2.25, Doz. $4.00, 25 $7.00, 100 $25.00 
A beautiful little tris from Eastern Asia Minor which was unobtainable 
for many years; bright golden flowers resembling in form Iris Reticula- 
ta, produced in early February. Height 3 inches, 
Pavonia (Moraea glaucopis) 
Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.20, 100 $15.00 
Called the Peacock Iris because of a beautifully clear, sky-blue blotch 
in the center of a pure white flower. Iris Pavonia is hardy and a dozen 
or so planted together make a very lovely group when in bloom. They 
multiply quite freely. 
Reticulata (Fragrant Iris) Six 70c, Doz. $1.20, 25 $2.20, 100 $8.00 
This lovely species is one of the treasures of the garden or rock garden. 
It can be described as a small form of the Spanish or Dutch Iris. Its 
main value lies in the fact that it may be forced into bloom in the 
house with the greatest ease. Six or eight bulbs put into a 4- to 5-inch 
pot when received will bloom about Christmas time. The fragrant blos- 
soms remind one of a bunch of fresh Violets. Perfectly hardy with 
reasonable protection. It is one of the loveliest early flowering bulbs 
for the rockery. To show it off well, plant a number of bulbs under the 
White Arabis Alpina; you'll enjoy the results more than we can tell you. 
Tuberosa Six $1.15, Doz. $1.90, 25 $3.35, 100 $12.00 
A rare species, producing charming small green flowers with vivid black 
blotches. An attractive and unusual flower.

LACHENALIA 
These bulbs are especially useful for forcing as they can be grown in 
flats or in pots. Do well out-of-doors in milder climates and are showy in 
beds, borders, and rock gardens. They have from one to two dozen 
generally pendulous, firecracker-like flowers, three-quarters to one inch 
in length on stems six to nine inches and bloom from late November 
to February, depending on the time of planting and the temperature in 
which they are grown. 
Cultural Directions: Same as Freesias. May be had to bloom at Christ- 
mas. Bulbs multiply freely and may be used from year to year. 
Aurea Six $1.15, Doz. $1.90, 25 $3.35, 100 $12.00 
A beautiful variety producing 8- to 10-inch spikes of golden yellow 
flowers; very easily grown in the house. It can be had in bloom for 
Christmas by simply growing it on the window sill in full sun.

eral deep blue tubular flowers on slender stems. One of the last of the

Aestivum (Summer Snowflake) 
Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
This large-flowered Snowflake produces in April and May gracefully 
drooping white bell-like flowers, Does best when growing in a shady 
situation and should be left alone as much as possible because the 
flowers become larger when the bulbs are not disturbed. Particularly 
fine for cutting. 
Ixiolirion Pallasi 
Lachenalia Aurea 
[13] 
are far too little known; they should be planted in late autumn and in 
cold districts must be covered with a thick layer of straw or leaves. 
Splendid for southern states. Few bulbs are so lovely and graceful and 
those who live where the climate is mild should plant them freely.
