Lycoris radiata 



40-630 Lycoris radiata 



This often is erroneously 



called Nerine or 



Guernsey Lily 



2 for 

 36c 



Order early and plant upon receipt to 

 secure flowers this year. Place three bulbs 

 in a five-inch pot. If planted too late they 

 will develop foliage only. Keep foliage 

 growing during the winter and spring. 

 The leaves develop after the showy 

 salmon-rose flowers which appear from 

 September to November. The long pro- 

 truding stamens add considerable interest. 

 Mammoth Bulbs: 3 for 36c; 12 for $1.25; 

 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.50. 



Leucocoryne ixioides odorata 



Leucocoryne 



Glory of the Sun 



40-540 Ixioides odorata. An excellent 

 bulbous plant for growing indoors. 

 Requires the same general growing con- 

 ditions as Freesias such as a temperature 

 of 55 to 65 degrees F. Produces its 

 lovely, large, star-shaped blooms in 

 February and March, carrying 4 to 6 

 slightly fragrant, light blue flowers with 

 white markings in the center on strong, 

 wiry, 12 inch stems. The blooms last 

 for 3 to 4 weeks. Top size bulbs: 3 for 

 4Sc; 12 for $1.50; 25 for $2.50. 

 40-542 Jumbo Bulbs: 3 for 60c; 12 for
