Darwin and Breeder Tulips
Tulips thrive in any good garden soil. Set bulbs
firmly so feeding and anchoring roots will contact
earth without intervening air pockets.
Plantings in heavy soil call for a handful of river
sand below each bulb. Top of bulb should be about
6 inches below surface in sandy soil, and about 5 inches
below surface soil in heavy soil. Half a handful of
Bonemeal mixed with earth below each bulb when
planting will supply sufficient plant food.
Figure following each varietal name indicates relative
time of flowering. Heights given are comparative only,
inasmuch as they are greatly influenced by the location
of Tulip beds.
Mariposa (Butterfly Tulips) will be found under
Calochortus.

Formal and Informal Hyacinths
The Hyacinth is stiff, prim and mathematical. It also has the attribute of color and the unquestioned gift
of fragrance.
Where to Plant
There are many cottage types of houses, and formal types, prim in themselves, that can be beautifully set
off with prim Hyacinth Beds.
Hyacinths may be used informally with very delightful effect. Scattered in little drifts in the border, they
can mingle with ground covers of Aubretia, Forget-me-not, Alyssum Saxatile, Tom Thumb Viscaria, Virginian
Stocks, Pansies, Violas, English Daisies. Hyacinths may be scattered between perennials around a garden seat
if only for their heady fragrance.
As a pot flower and for spring decoration of the window boxes, the Hyacinth has few equals. Too few
flower lovers have sensed the thrill of growing Hyacinths on water in Hyacinth Glasses.
How to Plant in Pots
Sand, imported Swedish Peat and garden loam in equal proportions, with some coarse rubble in the bottom
of the pot for drainage. Plant one bulb to a 4 inch pot; three to a 6 inch pot; leaving the bulb tops slightly
above the surface, and plant only one variety to the pot.
How to Plant Outdoors
For outdoor culture, in window boxes, or the garden bed, space the bulbs 6 to 10 inches apart. The depth
of the top of the bulbs below the surface will vary from 3 to 4 inches, depending upon their size. A half handful
of bonemeal mixed with soil in bottom of planting hole will supply ample food.
Hyacinths on Water in Glasses
Use only the first or Exhibition size bulbs. Place the bulb so its base merely touches the water. Keep
in any cool, dark place until glass is filled with roots. Maintain the water level so it merely touches the base of
the bulb. A bit of powdered charcoal will purify the water. Bring to the light where temperature is uniform
when roots are fully developed. Hyacinth Glasses 50c each ; 60c postpaid.
Exhibition and Bedding Hyacinths
We offer two sizes : Exhibition or Large Bulbs, for growing on water, in pots, window boxes and the
garden bed, to produce the largest, most magnificent blooms ; and Bedding or Medium Sized Bulbs for massing
and bedding and garden effect.
Exhibition Size Bulbs, separate colors or mixed, are 20c each; 3 for 50c; 12 for $2.00; 25 for $3.75; 100
for $15.00.
Bedding Size Bulbs, separate colors or mixed, are 3 for 30c; 12 for $1.15; 25 for $2.25; 100 for $9.00.
Fragrant Hyacinths
Long lists of varieties only tend to confuse, therefore we offer below sorts proven to be the best.
Gertrude 3

both for forcing and for bedding.

formed spike, strong stem ; beautiful curled bells.

Muscari (Grape Hyacinths)
Charming spring-flowering subjects. They can grow
under trees and shrubs and also do well in full sun in
the border of a sunny spot in the rockery without
special attention. They will yield rich dividends of
pleasure as they increase in beauty and numbers from
year to year. Plant about 2 inches deep where they
are intended to remain.
Botryoides Coeruleum 12 for 40c; 25 for 75c
Bright blue, very free-flowering at the time of
the Crocuses. This is the common blue Grape
LIyacinth so well adapted to the rockery.

The best for mass planting. Flowers open just
about the time the Crocuses are going off.
Scilla (Wood Hyacinth)
Flourish in sun as well as in shade under trees. Not
particular about the soil in which they grow. Ideal for
the wild garden, but they are not to be despised in the
border, especially if they are left undisturbed for several
years.
The drooping, bell-like flowers are loosely spaced on
stiff spikes. Plant about 3 inches deep.
Campanulata Blue 12 for 40c; 25 for 75c
Porcelain-blue, candelabra shaped bells.

Massive Daffodils— Dainty Narcissus
If you are a timid lover of Daffodils, may we suggest that you plant our specially priced assortments of proven
sorts. These have been assembled as a sort of “Learn to Know Them” offer. We feel certain of your enthusiasm,
once you have become intimately associated with these lovely blooms in your own garden.
Cultural Hints
Bulbs of the Narcissus family, which includes Daffodils and Jonquils, are happiest in a sandy loam, since this
affords good drainage. In a clay soil, sand and peat should be incorporated.
The depth to plant bulbs depends on their size. Big bulbs, such as King Alfred, can go down eight inches and
smaller bulbs three and four inches. In light soils deeper planting is advisable, and in heavy, a shallower planting.
The degree of light and shade should be taken into account. All of them thrive in sunshine, but the lighter, more
delicate kinds, seem grateful for a bit of shade. Plant to north or east of a path if you wish to look into their
faces, as they will always face the sun.
Fertilize with bonemeal, placed in the hole at planting time. The spacing apart is unimportant so long as there
is sufficient room for a bulb to increase to approximately twice its original size. Overcrowding results in foliage
without flowers. Never lift bulbs until foliage has completely yellowed.

STOCK REDUCING IRIS SPECIAL

rugged. 12 healthy rhizomes, our choice, un¬

riot of color.

mer flowering plants known. Lily-like, three-petalled
blooms with tiger-spotted contrasting cup-shaped throat
and three small overlapping petals colored and spotted
the same as the throat.
Individual blooms last a day, but each stem will
produce two and three blooms in quick succession and
a mature plant will throw as many as a hundred blos¬
soms during the months of July, August and September.

apricot-orange flowers -on 8 inch stems. A charm¬
ing pot plant and a valuable addition to the garden

loamy soil.
Peonies

Recent Rose Introductions
Our rose bushes are handled as nature intended. They
are not dug prematurely in full foliage, nor are they in
any way treated to preserve them.
(D-R) Disease-resistant. These varieties, under favor¬
able growing conditions, are not likely to be affected by
Mildew or Black Spot.
HT — Hybrid Tea. Poly — Polyanthus or Cluster rose.
H. Gig — Hybrid gigantea.
Every rose guaranteed true to name or your money
cheerfully refunded or rose replaced, as you wish.
We grow our own roses at our Highway Nursery, lo¬
cated on the El Camino Real, one mile south of Sunny¬
vale toward Santa Clara. Why not visit our fields during
the Summer months?
We offer for our discriminating trade, only the most
carefully selected, graded stock of 2-year old, budded
field grown roses. We have a ready market for the light
grades, elsewhere.
The difference in price (aside from Patented varieties
over which we have no control) is not to be taken as in¬
dicating superiority or inferiority of varieties. Many old
favorites in the 35c group surpass the more recently in¬
troduced or more popular 50c group in beauty and gen¬
eral satisfaction.
We are very careful to bud our roses only on such
wild understocks as are definitely superior for the vari¬
ety. This enables us to offer bushes with a more vigor¬
ous constitution, evidenced by an extended season with
more profuse blooms and long life.

UNPACKING
Soak Roots for Several Hours in a Bucket of Water
Before Planting.
TIME TO PLANT — Roses should be set out when
the plants are dormant or when the leaves begin to
fall. Planting season begins about November 1st.
HOW TO PLANT — The Rose delights in an open,
airy situation ; all types are partial to clay loam, but
will succeed in any ordinary soil if enriched. Dig up
the soil thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 15 inches.
When the bush is planted press the soil firmly over
the roots. Make a basin around the plant, and water
freely to exclude air, and settle the earth.
PRUNING (Bush roses) — This operation is best
performed during the dormant season. Most Roses
do better if moderately pruned. We usually remove
from one-third to two-thirds of the past year’s
growth, and all weak or decayed wood should be en¬
tirely cut out. As a rule, the more vigorous the vari¬
ety the less it should be pruned. It is always the new
growth which gives the most flowers.
