Tulipa clusiana 
Tulbaghia 
A genus related to the Agapanthus and the 
Allium, and half way between in its character- 
istics. They are easily grown under any garden 
conditions except that they flower best in open 
sunlight. They are evergreen but will lose their 
foliage in temperatures below 25 degrees above 
zero. They may be lifted and dried during the 
winter and replanted in the spring, or may be 
grown in pots and the pots brought under pro- 
tection. They are nearly everblooming and bear 
quantities of lavender flowers. Delivery anytime. 
FRAGRANS. (Pink Agapanthus.) Wide 
glaucous leaves less than a foot high. The 
lavender flowers are closely packed on the um- 
bels and are very fragrant. There is no odor to 
the foliage. An exceptional -plant for pot culture 
in the house because of its fragrant flowers and 
its winter blooming habit. 75c ea. 
VIOLACEA. (Society Garlic.) A wonderful 
plant for the garden. Evergreen and blooms ten 
months of the year. Not recommended as a 
house plant or for cutting because of the strong 
garlic odor of the plant, but is recommended 
for seasoning as it is edible. We suggest mass 
planting in the South. 25c ea. $2.00 doz., $12.00 
per 100. ' 
Tulipa 
Wild Tulips 
Those of you who have never experienced the 
thrill of growing these wildlings do not know 
what you are missing. The great diversity of 
form, size and color among its members is 
something to marvel at. They are far more in- 
teresting than the hybrid forms and much less 
dificult to grow. In Southern California they 
may be left undisturbed in the ground for many 
years and they will do better each succeeding 
year. Try a few this season. Delivery September 
to January. $2.00 doz.
