Dutch and Spanish Gris 
Great Beauty, Yet Fast Growing and 
Inexpensive 
Be prepared for a surprise after you plant some of these for the 
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 fascinating, ranging from 
pure white through golden yellow to Cornflower-blue, dark violet and 
deep purple. They are excellent for cutting, stand a lot of handling 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 extremely 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.
