GLAD SPECIE SEED 
Hard to germinate, even in a greenhouse, but interesting after 
you have the bulb. We have been able to set seed both on and 
with several specie bulbs, but so far haven’t seen them bloom. 
Frankly, we do not know too much about specie, and would suggest 
that you consult your library for such books as Hortus, or the 
Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (Bailey). These seeds were 
secured from reliable sources but you may find variations in color. 
Should be interesting to hybridizers. 
Alatus—Brick red, sweetly scented. 75c per 10 seeds. 
Blandus—Pink, many open—50c for 10 seeds. 
Gracilis—fragrant, pale lilac, 75c for 10 seeds. 
Odoratus Quite fragrant in dark maroon. 75c for 10 seeds. 
Tristis Scented yellow, mottled, 75c for 10 seeds. 
ODDS AND ENDS 
When we get this far in the catalogue, there comes the question 
each year of the listing of varieties that we may not be sure of 
how much stock we have. The catalogue is written long before bulbs 
are cleaned and counted, and it is easy to think you have a lot of 
large bulbs, only to find when you get them cleaned that they may 
only rate medium size. Then too, we have to reduce the number of 
varieties we grow each year in order to make room for newer ones. 
So maybe the bulb we list is being discarded, for one reason or an- 
other, color, growth, propogation, etc. Some of the varieties we list 
are limited in quantity, they are grown for hybridizing purposes only. 
The fact that a bulb is listed in our “Odds and Ends’ list does not 
mean that the variety is no good. You will see from some of the 
varieties listed below, that many of them are very recent introduc- 
tions, and that some of them are real old timers. 
Our stocks of the varieties listed below are not large, so do 
not be too disappointed if you do not get them. If you see some- 
thing you want, show it on the order and we will fill it if possible.
