California Flowers, Plants, Seeds, Bulbs, Etc. 



CRINUMS. 



These magnificent flowering bulbs are closely related to Amaryllis and Pancratium. Are of easy culture. 



C. Fimbriatum. Nassau or Milk and Wine Lily. A strong grower, not particular as to soil. Flowers in 

 umbels, very large and showy, striped white and carmine, three to four inches in diameter. Exceedingly 

 choice and desirable. Very large bulbs, 50c. 



C. Kirkii. Previously catalogued as sp. 2. The flowers are large, pure white, with a reddish purple 

 stripe on -the outside of each petal, which, showing through, gives the flower a pink tinge on the inside ; 

 some ten to fifteen of these large flowers are produced at the top of a tall purple spike, and are 

 frequently two or more spikes of bloom from the bulb during the season. In addition, the foliage is 

 very handsome, the numerous wavy-edged leaves forming a perfect rosette. This plant has created a 

 sensation wherever seen. Very large bulbs, $1 each. 



C. A variety which I have had some years without the name. Bulbs are. very large. Flowers are a beauti- 

 ful shade of pink. 25c, 50c and 75c each. 



C. A rare Crinum, with immense bulbs weighing several pounds. Very broad foliage, with a large number 

 of beautiful white flowers with pink stripes through each petal. They increase very slowly. $2 to 

 $3 each. 



C. Joan d'Arc. A handsome importation from the Orient, is another form of the odd and beautiful 

 Spider Lily, to which the name Joan d'Arc has been given in the Sandwich Islands, where it is in culti- 

 vation. The flowers are beautiful and useful for cut flowers, delicately fragrant, white, most nearly 

 resembling Pancratium. $ 1 . 



C. Amaryllis (Empress of China.) Another worthy Oriental, just imported to America, with most beau- 



tiful transparent carmine-colored flowers, the throat of a lighter shade. $1.

NEW GLADIOLUS. 



Luther Burbank's magnificent new California seedlings. Introduced three years ago. Stock still very 



limited. They are very dwarf, very distinct and frequently double. I offer them at the grower's retail price.

 pink, with a salmon sheen, streaked purplish crimson and sometimes with black; edges of petals charm- 

 ingly tipped white. Strong blooming bulbs, each $1.

 otten double, having from ten to sixteen petals each ; light cherry rose, striped lilac crimson. The first

 ful and strikingly distinct. Strong blooming bulbs, each $1.

HEDYCHIUEV1 CORONARIUM. 



The Ginger or Butterfly Lily. A new and very desirable plant, either for open ground or pot culture ; 

 it is constantly in bloom. ^Here, in the open ground, it is in flower from July to October. It prefers a 

 moist, partially shaded situation, where it will form large, dense clumps 3 to 4 feet high. Flowers are 

 borne in large clusters, terminal on every stalk, and resemble very much a large white butterfly ; pure 

 white and very fragrant. The plant has the habit of our dwarf Cannas, and would do elegantly if 

 grown with them, adding thereby a color not found among these. Price, 30c each, four for $1. 



HEMEROCALLIS. 



Kwamso, fl. pi. (Double Orange Lily.) Large, double copper-colored flowers beautifully shaded, that 

 bloom all summer and fall. Light green foliage. Very handsome. Extra strong roots, 50c; good
