Miscellaneous Bulbs 
FOLEY GARDENS 
Tigridia 
(Shell-Flower of Mexico) 
Few flowers are more gorgeously colored 
or so beautiful. The bulbs, which can be 
handled the same as Gladiolus, bloom in 
mid-summer. Each stalk produces several 
flowers. Each Neate listed is strikingly 
beautiful and unusual.

Fancy Leaved 
Caladium 
For a continuous foliage display from 
late spring to frost, no other plant equals 
these. They are easy to grow, thrive in 
partial, almost full shade. In the fall before 
freezing weather, dig and store them like 
Cannas. Or you can pot them for winter 
blooms indoors. Start them inside in Feb- 
ruary, March or April. Enjoy the rich color 
combination indoors until time to plant 
them out. Our large 1% to 2% bulbs 
represent a mixture of many different colors. 
Large bulbs do much better than smaller 
sizes. Each, 45c or 3 for $1.15. 
Acidanthera 
MURIELAE 
(Sweet Scented Gladiolus) 
A vigorous growing gladiolus-like bulb 
which produces highly scented flowers in 
late summer. The blooms have a delightful 
and soft fragrance. A few spikes indoors 
will make themselves pleasantly known 
throughout the room. 
The flowers are white with sparkling and 
clear purple markings in centers. Stems 
grow about 2 to 2% feet tall. In mild 
climates bulbs may be left in the ground 
over winter but in colder regions they should 
be dug and handled like gladiolus bulbs. 
Top sized bulbs. 3 for 50c; 12 for $1.75. 
Tuberoses 
Easily recognized for their exquisite 
fragrance. One flower will scent an entire 
room—especially penetrating in the evening 
air. Grows to a height of 24 inches and 
more. Flower clusters with waxy white petals 
are strikingly beautiful at night when they 
shine and sparkle like white marble. 
Plant bulbs to a depth of 83 or 4 inches in 
the border or open garden in any well drain- 
ed soil after danger of frost is past. Tuber- 
roses are not hardy and must be taken up in 
the fall and stored in a dry cool place. 
LARGE BULBS, 2 for 30c; 10 for $1.25. 
Montbretias 
GIANT HYBRIDS 
The Montbretias are highly valued for 
cut flowers. They are easily grown and 
their graceful flower stems add much to any 
garden. The lovely glad-like flowers are 
very attractive when grown in groups or 
used for flower arrangements in the home. 
_ They do best in a light loamy soil en- 
riched with leaf mold and a little lime, no 
manure. In cold climates the bulbs can be 
handled like gladiolus bulbs but in regions 
where the ground does not freeze deeply 
they may be left out and they will multiply. 
Our mixture contains, yellow, salmon, 
orange, and scarlet. Top sized bulbs. Mix- 
ture only, 8 for 40c. 12 for $1.50.
