MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND ROOTS 



Our offerings this season of miscellaneous bulbs and roots have been enlarged by the addition of some of the old favorites, such 

 as Chionodoxas, Snowdrops, Scillas, etc. Their importation for sale will not be permitted after January, 1926, and it is suggested to 

 secure high-grade stock this season at reasonable prices. We hope to give a more complete list in our regular Autumn Catalogue, 

 ready early in September. 



Calla Lilies 



(Arum Lilies or Lily of the Nile) 



White Calla {Richardia Aethiopica). The White Calla, or Lily 

 of the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, and in winter 

 is one of our best window plants. To aid profuse blooming 

 keep them dormant from the middle of June until the last of 

 August; repot as soon as received in good, rich soil, using 6- to 

 8-inch pot; give water, light and heat in abundance, and the 

 result will be most satisfactory.

Godfrey Everblooming White Calla. This is a great im- 

 provement over the ordinary \\ hite Calla, especially for the 

 amateur, being of even freer growth anil much more floriferous 

 over a longer season, the flowers, while a trifle smaller than the 

 old-fashioned Calla, are of purer white and delicately scented. 

 Strong flowering roots, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 

 per 100. 



Golden Yellow Calla [Richardia EHiottiand). This is the best 

 of the yellow Callas, its Bowers being as large as the popular 

 white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden yellow of velvety 

 texture: the foliage is dark groen. with translucent creamy- 

 white spots, which adds much to its beauty. Strong bulbs, ready 

 end of October, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz. 



Dielytra, or Dicentra 



Spectabilis {Bkeding Heart, or Seal Flower). 

 An old-fashioned favorite; its long racemes 

 of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are 

 always attractive; it is used largely for 

 forcing, and is perfectly at home in any part 

 ol the hardy border, and especially valu- 

 able for planting in the shade. Strong 

 clumps, ready in October, 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz. 



Dreer's American Hybrid Amaryllis

 is nothing that will give the amateur greater 

 pleasure for the window garden than these 

 giant-flowering Amaryllis that arc so easily 

 managed. The strain we offer is the finest 

 that has ever been produced in this country, 

 strong bulbs throwing vigorous stems with 

 from four to six gigantic blooms of the most 

 perfect form, ranging in color from pure

 red and crimson to the richest self colors as

 better known and more popular as a garden

 most effective. They succeed best in a light rich, well-drained loam. Plant in 

 November, and cover with leaves, straw or long manure on the approach of winter. 

 For pot culture, fill with any rich, porous compost, with good drainage, planting 4 roots 

 in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold frame, or any moderately cool situation, giving very 

 lrttle water until the plants appear; then remove to greenhouse or sitting-room window.

 mediate shades, such as rose, red, pink, blue, etc., etc. They require the same treatment 

 as the Poppy Anemones offered above. Mixed colors, $1.00 per doz.; $6.50 per 100.

soon after the snow is gone. Grows well in any good garden soil, and when once 



planted requires no further care. Flowers of brilliant sky-blue color, with white
