MISCELLANEOUS BULBS 



Amaryllis 



AMARYLLIS, Giant American Hybrids. Ama- 

 ryllis bulbs planted in October or November 

 should come into bloom in March. Trie huge 

 trumpets on their tall, strong stems are very 

 cheery in late winter, and no trouble to grow. 

 Mixed colors only. Jumbo bulbs, suitable for 

 planting in a 6-inch pot, 85c. each (by mail, SI. 00). 



ANEMONE, Monarch De Caen. Large, single 

 flowers of blue, white and scarlet. Plant the bulbs 

 about 6 inches deep in a cool, moist but well- 

 drained soil. Early spring is the best planting 

 time in the North, fall in the South. Extra-large 

 bulbs, 3 for 35c; $1.25 per doz. 



CALLA LILY, Pink (Ricbardia Rebmani superba). 

 The blooms are not large but their beautiful pink 

 color makes them very desirable and unusual. 

 Best for greenhouse or indoor culture. 50c. each; 

 $5.50 per doz. 



CALLA LILY, White (Aethiopica). Pure white 

 blooms of an attractive, unusual form and one 

 of our best window plants. Pot bulbs in 6 to 8- 

 inch pots as soon as received. Give an abundance 

 of water, light, and heat, and the results will be 

 very satisfactory. 40c. each; $4.00 per doz. 



CALLA LILY, Yellow (Elliottiana). The Yel- 

 low Calla. Large, rich deep golden flowers often 

 4 to 5 inches across at the mouth. Habit of 

 growth and foliage like the old favorite White 

 Calla except that the leaves of Elliottiana are 

 spotted with white. Makes a very distinctive 

 potted plant that is interesting to watch as the 

 blooms unfurl. Ready in November. 45c. each; 

 $4.75 per doz. 



CHIONODOXA (Glory-of-the-Snow). Brilliant 

 sky-blue flowers that come into bloom soon after 

 the snow is gone. They require no further care 

 when once planted. 40c. per doz.; $2.75 per 100. 



COLCHICUM (Meadow Saffron). Autumn flower- 

 ing. The flowers of this unusual plant resemble the 

 Crocus. If planted in August or September the 

 bulbs will flower in a very short time, but the 

 foliage will not appear until spring. They will 

 bloom, without soil or water if placed in a sunny 

 window and may be planted outside afterward. 



COLCHICUM autumnale album. White. 25c. 

 each; 6 for $1.35. 



COLCHICUM autumnale major. Rosy purple.

 under trees. This little gem has endeared itself to all 

 those who look to nature for signs of returning spring.

 inches deep. For mass effect, space the bulbs 2 to 3 

 inches apart.

Plant Now— Bloom This Fall 



They are excellent for planting in the grass and

 sunny position in the rock-garden, they add de- 

 lightful color at a time when most rock-garden 

 plants are out of bloom.

 and showy. Well suited for growing indoors in 

 pots or pans. 85c. per doz.; $6.25 per 100.

 fall-flowering bulbous plant with beautiful purple- 

 Iilac flowers feathered with white and adorned

 did for the rock-garden. 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per

 beautiful display. 60c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100.
