Ismene calathina 



(Peruvian Daffodil) 



A lovely white lily-like bloom with a 

 greenish tinge. The bulb is not hardy and 

 should be planted in the spring. It blooms 

 within a few weeks after planting. As a 

 general rule, the foliage is only partly 

 developed at the time of its blooming 

 period. It is fragrant and greatly admired 

 by those who know it. Postpaid, each 

 60c.; doz. $6.50. 



Summer-flowering Bulbs 



On pages 49 through 52 we offer a group 

 of bulbs providing exceptional decorative 

 value. Plants like Cannas and Caladiums 

 are showy, and beds of them provide 

 pleasing exotic pictures. Gladiolus are 

 beautiful in the garden, and few ever have 

 enough plants to supply the desire for 

 "Glads" in the house. Dahlias are very 

 popular both for exhibition and for cutting. 

 Acidanthera Murielx is often referred to 

 as fragrant Gladiola. 



Acidanthera Murielae 



Pure white with a star-shaped, magenta 

 throat blotch. These delightfully fragrant, 

 showy flowers are excellent in the border 

 and for cutting. Culture and appearance 

 similar to gladiolus. Postpaid, each 20c.; 

 3 for 50c.; doz. $1.75. Not postpaid, $13.00 

 per 100.

 rapidly. The foliage is bright green and 

 the white flowers are cinnamon-scented. 

 Postpaid, tubers, each 15c.; doz. $1.50.

 graceful feathery white flowers of a de- 

 lightful fragrance. Postpaid, tubers, each
