BEAUTIFUL POT-PLANTS OF PAUL J. HOWARD'S NEW CLIVIA HYBRIDS 
OLIVIA 
NEW HYBRIDS 
CLIVIA MINIATA HYBRIDS. A rare plant from South Africa, becoming 
much in demand for its brilliant orange colored Amaryllis-like flowers. In 
these new hybrids we have a larger flowered type, in many tints and shades 
of orange, from yellow-orange to scarlet-orange. The broad strap-like fol¬ 
iage is ornamental. Planted in groups or masses under trees, or in beds, 
they are long-blooming, brilliant flowered subjects. Excellent for pot cul¬ 
ture. 5-inch pots, $1.50; blooming specimens, $4.50 to $7.50. 
GINGER-LILY 
HEDYCHIUM 
HEDYCHIUM CORONARIUM. Garland Ginger-Lily. Whoever has visited 
Honolulu will never forget the fragrance of the lovely white garlands or 
leis made from the flowers of this plant; in all of the enchanting Islands 
of Flowers there is no flower that will leave a more delightful memory of 
fragrance. In our gardens it makes a decorative, tropical plant; even if 
damaged by freezing it will soon flourish again. 5-gai. containers, $2.50; 
large divisions, $1.00. 
HEDYCHIUM AUREUM. Yellow Ginger-Lily. Strong growing ornamental 
plants, with large Canna-like leaves. The bright orange flowers resemble 
the Canna bloom, freely produced in large heads. Their strong spicy fra¬ 
grance and graceful beauty make this plant, as well as the others here listed, 
desirable for a tropical effect in the garden. All of the flowers, when cut 
with long stems, make long lasting, pleasantly scented decorations. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; divisions, $1.00. 
HEDYCHIUM GARDNERIANUM. A little taller than the others, with light 
yellow flowers having showy red filaments. Following the blossoms appear 
bright red fruits, which are very decorative in the garden, or cut. 5-gal. 
containers, 3-4 ft., $2.50; divisions, $1.00. 
SPECIAL OFFER—One strong plant (division) of each of the 
three Ginger-Lilies for $2.75.

EPIDENDRUM 
EPIDENDRUM O'BRIENIANUM. This is indeed a rare and striking sub¬ 
ject for garden or pot culture. It is of tall, almost climbing habit, growing 
freely in soil enriched with leaf-mold, in full sun or partial shade. It 
bears continuously its tall stiff stems, crowned with clusters of small or¬ 
chids, bright red in color. A bed of these plants, when well grown, will be 
in bloom every day in the year, and in mid-winter, at Christmas time, it 
has an exceptionally heavy crop of blossoms. The flowers last for weeks, 
and have wonderful possibilities in cut-flower arrangements. 4-inch pots, 
$1.00; Large, blooming specimens, $2.50, $3.50 and $5.00 
BLETILLA 
BLETILLA HYACINTHINA. A rare and beautiful Chinese 
Orchid, with clusters of intriguing lavender-mauve blossoms, love¬ 
ly for cutting. Large potted clumps which will flower this season, 
$1.50; Individual tubers, 50c.
