THE FAIRY LILIES 
Sometimes they are called Zephyr Lilies, since 
Zephyranthes, Flower of the West Wind, is typ¬ 
ical; but elsewhere they are known as Rain 
Lilies, for they respond to each summer shower 
with a new burst of bloom. 
For porch or window boxes the Fairy Lilies 
are delightful, but they are mostly grown for 
garden display, or in the rockery, flowering freely 
for several months. Store the bulbs over winter 
in a cool cellar or under same conditions that you 
would store Gladioli. 
ZEPHYRANTHES AJAX — Primrose Fairy. 
Creamy yellow “lilies,” pink-tinted with age, in 
wonderful profusion for months. Most of the 
time the rows are little foot-high hedges of solid 
bloom. 3 for 25c; 8 for 50c. 
ZEPHYRANTHES CANDIDA — Crocus Lily. 
Glossy white blossoms with golden anthers, from 
August on. Multitudinous rush-like leaves of 
richest emerald. Makes a delightful edging, or 
it may be used otherwise in any Crocus fashion, 
for the blossoms, were the enameled whiteness 
not so pure, might almost be larger Crocuses, 
tardy until late summer and autumn. It is 
worthy of large plantings. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c, 
25 for $1.00. 
ZEPHYRANTHES CITRINA—The Citron Lily. 
Blossoms of shining yellow, a shade richer than 
lemon, but deeply coppery in reverse. A rare 
species, yet of easiest culture in the garden; 
blooming with excessive prodigality. 10c each; 
6 for 50c. 
ZEPHYRANTHES CARINATA — Pink Fairy. 
Exquisite three-inch flowers from early until late. 
They open a charming deep rose that softens 
soon to clear pure pink. This is the largest 
species. 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 16 for $1.00. 
CHLIDANTHXJS FRAGRANS — Gold Flower. 
Twin trumpets, shining and golden hued, elusively 
fragrant. Easy, and increases rapidly, but it 
blooms shyly unless given rich soil and plenty 
of moisture. It is worthy, though, of this extra 
attention. Size “B,” 3 for 25c; 8 for 50c; 18 
for $1.00. 
COOPERIA PEDUNCULATA — Evening Star. 
The long-stemmed white flowers, pink tinged, un¬ 
fold at dusk, but stay open for several days there¬ 
after, and they are richly perfumed. Each rain 
all summer, brings out new blossoms. 3 for 40c.
