This bulb belongs to the Amaryllis family and can either 
be grown in pots or open ground. The beautiful Lily-like 
flowers are borne on stems 10 to 15 inches high, and are pro¬ 
fusely borne. They have a saying in Texas that the Cooperia 
blooms after every rainstorm. Certainly its flowers spring 
up as if by magic repeatedly through the season. Color, pure 
white. Bulbs large and strong. 5c. each; 6 for 25c.

A most beautiful flowering bulb for pot culture, and 
requiring much the same treatment as Begonias and Glox¬ 
inias. They are very easily grown and produce a wonderful 
profusion of flowers all summer, some varieties blooming 
even up to Christmas. Colors, white, crimson, blue, rose, 
heliotrope, etc. Many of the sorts have highly ornamental 
foliage, as fine as the best Coleus. We have some 25 different 
named sorts, including some of the finer varieties of Tydaes, 
a bulb near’ akin to the 
Achimenes. These bulbs 
should be potted as soon as 
I’eeeived, but we shall book 
orders and not send the 
bulbs until planting time.

PANCRATIUM TORTUOSUM. 
A rare species of the great 
Amaryllis family, which 
produces large bulbs that 
may be treated like Gladio¬ 
lus. Planted out in the 
spring, they produce large 
elegant leaves which are or 
a grayish blue tinged color, 
very odd and peculiar as 
well as handsome. The flow¬ 
ers are borne in clusters, as 
shown in the cut. pure white 
and fragrant. It is also an 
admirable pot plant. We 
are fortunate in being able 
to offer fine large bulbs Qt 
this rare flower at 20c. each;
