Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



]<(ote Our offerings of mlscelliiieous Bulbs and Roots continue rather meager on account of their importation 



for sale being prohibited by the Federal Horticultural Board, and as there is at present no American sources of 

 supply we have been obliged to drop them from our list. 2Vie majority of the Bulbs and Roots offered in this 

 Gat.ilogue are usually ready for delivery before the end of September. A few sorts do not mature iintil October 

 or November. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs as soon as ready, and the late-maturing sorts 

 token in good condition to ship. 



AMARYLLIS (Hippeastrum) 



Dreer's American Hybrids. We believe this selection of 

 seedlings is the best obtainable at the present time, and Wt 

 know of nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasUlr6 

 for the window garden. They have been grown from seed 

 produced by crossing the finest named varieties. The result- 

 ing strain embodies, with vigorous growth, free-flowering 

 habit and enormous size of the individual flowers, a really 

 wonderful range of colors, varying from deep crimson to 

 bright orange-scarlet; and from light rose to almost pure 

 white, many of them beautiful combinations in stripes and 

 variegations. We offer mixed varieties only, in very strong 

 bulbs, 75 cts. each; 57.50 per doz.; $60. 00 per 100. 



MIXKD CHOCtJ^ 



The bulbs offered under this head are smaller than the Giant 

 Named sorts offered on page 21, but are quite satisfactory for 

 planting in the grass or for any position out of doors. In 

 planting care should bfe taken not to set the bulbs too deep; a 

 covering of two inches of soil is enough.

CALLA LILIES 



(Arum Lilies or Lily of the Nile) 



White Calla {Richardia uSJthiopica). 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 pro- 

 fuse blooming keep them dormant irom 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. 



Each Per Doz Per 100 



Extra large roots ..§0 25 $2 50 $18 00 



Mammoth roots 35 3 50 25 00 



Godfrey Everblooming White Calla. This is a great 

 improvement oven the ordinary white Calla, especially for 

 the amateur, being of even freer growth and 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 bulbs, 25 cts. each; 

 2.50 per doz. 



Golden Yellow Calla {Richardia EUiottin.na). This is 

 the best of the yellow Callas, its flowers being as large as the 

 popular white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden-yellow 

 of velvety texture; the foliage is dark green, with translucent 

 creamy- white spots, which adds much to its beauty. Strong 

 bulbs, 40 cts. each; $4. 00 per doz. 



White Cali.a Lilies 



NOTE.— All Bulbs, Roots and Plants are forwarded by Express, purchaser paying charges. If wanted by Parcel Post add 10 per cent,
