MORAEA POLYSTACHYA 
(See page 6) 
NERINE. Amaryllis family. 
Nerine filifolia. Ht. 12-15". $1.50 per 12 
Charming autumn-blooming plants from Cape Province. The dark 
pink flowers are borne on stems that overtop the narrow, thread¬ 
like foliage. The segments are delicately fringed and the pistils 
and stamens extending beyond the petals lend an airy grace to 
the flowers. 
STREPTANTHERA. Iris family. 
Streptanthera cuprea. Ht. 6-8". $8 per 100 $1.50 per 12 
Strikingly unusual and beautiful; the flowers open out flat and are 
of a brilliant tangerine color with a central eye of petunia violet 
edged with black. Hardier than Freesias and more brilliant than 
Sparaxis. Each bulb produces several spikes during March and 
April. South Africa. Award of Garden Merit, R. H. S. 
Try Portulaca or one of the Thymes as a ground cover for bulbs. 
They do not mind summer drought and are pleasant plants. 
Do not allow your bulbs to set seed; it will lessen next year's 
bloom.
