Bulbous and Tuberous Plants 
In no part of the country can a wider range of really good bulbous and tuberous plants be 
grown than in the South. Not only can most of the prominent sorts which beautify the landscapes 
of northern localities be grown to perfection, but many beautiful and more tender sorts adapted 
only to the South may be added to the list. Asa rule, when provided with well-prepared soil, suffi¬ 
ciently rich, good drainage,and sufficient moisture, very little further attention is needed, and through¬ 
out the year a profusion of bloom may be secured, giving such an abundance of bright colorings as 
cannot be secured with any other plants. The varieties offered have been carefully tested and the 
very best of results may be expected from them. 
AGAPANTHUS umbellatus (African Lily). A 
beautiful Lily producing large umbels of 
bright blue flowers on stems 2 or 3 feet 
tall. May be grown either as a pot-plant 
or out-of-doors. Very desirable for large 
vases or tubs. The blooms last a long time. 
35 cts. each, $3 for 10. 
ALPINIA nutans (Shell-flower). A lily-like 
plant, reaching a height of 4 to 6 feet, with 
long, narrow leaves and beautiful pinkish 
yellow, sweet-scented flowers in drooping 
racemes. A very handsome plant for mass 
effect. 35 cts. each, $3 for 10. 
AMARYLLIS, Hybrids. These hybrids pro¬ 
duce flowers of very large size and of striking 
appearance. The colors include various 
shades of scarlet and white striped with 
pink. They come into bloom in early 
spring and are worthy a place in every 
garden. When once planted out they require 
but little care. 50 cts. each, $4 for 10. 
Johnsoni. An old-time favorite with rich 
crimson-scarlet flowers, striped with white. 
One of the most satisfactory garden plants 
flowering in early spring. 35 cts. each, $3

lanceolate, scented leaves and brownish 
colored flowers. Produces the Cardamon 
seeds of commerce. Valuable as a decorative 
plant. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10. 
CALADIUM, Fancy-leaved. These plants 
produce very showy arrow-shaped leaves, 
beautifully marked with yellow, red, green, 
purplish and white colors. The intensity 
of the markings varies with the strength of 
the light in which they are grown. The 
leaves are of large size, produced on long 
stems, and are so exquisite in their markings 
as to surpass most of the flowering plants 
in their beautiful shades. In the lower 
South Caladiums may be grown out-of-doors 
in rather shady, moist soil. They make 
excellent house plants and are very fine for 
window-boxes. The leaves die down late 
in autumn and growth starts again in the 
bulbs in early spring. Each Per 10
