BULBS FOR THE WINTER WINDOW 
It is really easy 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. 
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 50¢; 
10 for 90c; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.50. 
NARCISSUS SOLEIL d’OR — It replaces the older Chinese 
Sacred Lily, surer and better in every way. The flowers are 
clusters of fragrant golden yellow with orange red cups. Easy 
to grow in pots of soil, or even in pebbles and water. 5 for 60c; 
LO for; S1.16% 25. for. f2-60- 
VELTHEIMIA VIRIDIFOLIA 
—A rather spectacular, pot 
bulb for winter bloom. From 
nests of glossy, crispy foliage 
rise, on 20 inch stems, massive 
flower trusses of rosy pink with 
buff shadings and cinnabar 
tones. The big bulbs ripen off 
after flowering, but will bloom 
again each winter for many 
years, so this is truly a long- 
time investment in pleasure. 
Big bulbs, each 85c; 8 for 
$2.85; 10 for $7.00) 
LEUCOCORYNE IXIODES 
ODORATA—A Chilean exquis- 
ite from Andean foothills that 
is called Glory of the Sun. 
The 18-inch stems each carry 
soveral large and starry blue 
flowers with undulate petals 
and white centers. The flowers 
are pleasingly fragrant, long- 
lasting. The bulbs’ respond 
readily to winter forcing, 
though this should be on the 
slow, cool side. 3 for 50c; 7 for 
f VELTHEIMIA ne $1.00; 25 for $3.00. 
GLADIOLUS REMBRANDT—One of the better new forcing 
varieties, developed in Holland for winter blooming from pots 
under glass. Fine spikes of brilliant red flowers. 38 for 50c¢; 7 
for $1.00; 25 for $2.50.

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. 
AMARYLLIS GIANT HYBRIDS 
—Magnificent flowers, great, ex- 
panded trumpets in rose, scarlet, 
erimson, 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.

colors only, each 70c; 3 for 
$2.00 ; 10 for $5.70 ; 25 for $12.50.

THE EASTER LILY—The rath- 
er dwarf, compact plants bear 
freely large and fragrant trum- 
pet flowers of purest Wwaxen 5 
whiteness. 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.
