Dutch and Spanish Gris 
Great Beauty, Yet Fast Growing and Inexpensive 
Be prepared for a surprise after you 
plant some of these for they multiply 
so rapidly that their numbers increase 
each year and must be weeded out 
from time to time. These blooms bear 
a striking resemblance to the Orchid 
and their rich colors are most fasci- 
nating, ranging from pure white 
through golden yellow to Corn- 
flower-blue, dark violet and 
deep purple. They are excellent 
for cutting, stand a lot of hand- 
ling and last even longer when 
put in water. All they ask is a sunny 
spot, fairly well drained and a little 
protection when the weather is ex- 
tremely cold. We know of no other 
bulb that is so lovely and, at the same 
time, so low in cost. It is not without 
reason that in England they are known 
as “The Poor Man’s Orchid.” By all 
means, include some of these lovelies 
in your order today.
