NEW HYBRID ALSTROEMERIAS 
(Peruvian Lilies) 
Peruvian lilies are becoming increasingly popu- 
lar since the introduction of these fine new 
hybrids. Colors include pastels, cream yellows, 
and from light pink to striking reds. Seed ger- 
mination is variable and flats must be kept 
moist for several weeks to give all viable seeds 
a chance. Seedlings ¥2-inch high may be trans- 
planted to pots and later to the garden in half 
shade. A little trouble, but they are well worth 
it. We recommend them for climates where the 
winters are not too severe.

rose flowers. Pkt. 50c; Y% oz. $1.50.
