NERINES 
Apparntly most of the Nerine sarniensis 
offered by dealers are really Lycoris radiata. 
Nerines as a class flower more consistently. 
Within a few years we should have the true 
Nerine sarniensis to offer. 
We offer here in addition to Nerine fili— 
folia three other hybrids and species. Al¬ 
though they are in the higher price classes, 
they are truly marvelous sorts. The large, 
bold flowers appear to be sprinkled with 
silver dust. 
Nerines should be planted before June 
and flower in the Fall. Our stock is very 
limited.
