Miscellaneous Bulbs 
ANEMONES 
Be sure to plant pointed end down. Where 
there is danger of freezing. ANEMONES AND 
RANUNCULUS must be planted in very late 
Winter or Early Spring. Sunny location is 
best. Soak 2 or 3 hours in water before 
planting. 
TOP SIZE BULBS 
MONARCH DE CAEN. A magnificent and 
robust strain of poppy anemone. Huge 
saucer shaped flowers in brilliant shades 
of pink, red and blue. Doz. 60c; 100, $4.75 
SEMI-DOUBLE TYPES 
ST. BRIGID. Finest strain of semi-double an- 
emones in existence. Brilliant shades of 
red, pink and blue. Doz. 60c; 100, $4.75. 
RANUNCULUS 
Half hardy in northern climates, should be 
planted as early as possible in spring. Early 
February planting is recommended in climates 
where there is some light freezes. Where 
there is no danger of freezing, planting is 
best done in late fall. Plant 2 inches deep, 
about 4 inches apart, being sure to plant the 
bulbs with the ‘claws’ downward. Moisture 
should not fail during the growing season. 
TECOLATE GIANTS. The large double flow- 
ers are carried on tall graceful stems, they 
are unexcelled for cut flowers. Few flow- 
ers, so easy to grow, will give such a 
profusion of bloom for such a small in- 
vestment, each bulb producing about a 
dozen flowers over a long period. 
TOP SIZE BULBS—Not to be confused with 
2nd and 3rd size bulbs so often offered at 
bargain prices. 
MIXED. Every conceivable shade of yellow. 
pink, orange and scarlet to the deepest 
red. Doz. 60c; 100, $5.00 
LILIES 
Lily bulbs are available about the middle 
of October, with the exception of the Aura- 
tums which are not ready until December. 
They may be planted as soon as available, 
but we advise planting them in the early 
spring, because there is so much danger of 
them not establishing themselves before 
freezing weather. Please state on your order 
when you want your bulbs shipped.
