Watsonias 
Much like tall giant spikes of gladiolus that 
bloom during June and July. The spikes grow 
4 to 5 feet tall and do best in a sunny location. 
Plant 3 inches deep. Fall planting is safe along 
the coast and they can be left in the ground over 
winter in those localities. In sections of severe 
cold it is best to cover with mulch or soil against 
freezing or dig and store over winter. Ready for 
shipment in the fall. Mixed only: 3 for 40c; 
doz. $1.35. Postpaid. 
Zephyranthes (Fairy Lily) 
Dainty little flowers suitable for pots, rock 
gardens and borders. Ready in October. Blooms 
in Summer or Fall. Half hardy. 
CANDIDA, WHITE — 3 for 25c; doz. 85c. 
AJAX YELLOW — 3 for 40c; doz. $1.40. 
Tuberoses 
Lovely, large flowers of thick-wax-like texture 
on graceful, long, strong stems. Valuable in the 
gardens, also for cut flowers. They have a rich 
exotic fragrance. Plant after danger of frost, 2 
inches deep to top of bulb. They prefer well 
drained soil and sunshine. The flower stems are 
about 15 to 20 inches tall and bloom in August 
and September. Near the West Coast they can 
be left in the ground over winter if protected, but 
in other sections it is best to dig and store them. 
Available in February. Offered in double.
