HOOKERA HYACINTHINA — Cluster-lily. Clusters of 
gracefully spreading six-lobed flowers, the petals of a white 
translucence. The blossoms are carried on twenty-inch 
stems in late spring and early summer. Will thrive in the 
ordinary border, but if you want it, and yourself, to have 
fullest enjoyment, then give it a home by the garden pool. 
3 for 25c; 7 for 50c. 
HOOKERA PULCHELLA—Blue Cluster-lily. Close clus¬ 
ters of royal purpl* blossoms sway on stems that may, in 
well-established plants, reach four feet or more. Both 
Hookeras are excellent for cutting, remaining fresh for weeks 
in water. 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c. 
CALOCHORTUS ALBUS—The Fairy Lantern. Snowy, 
translucent blossoms, exquisitely shaped, and carried in 
graceful, swaying sprays. It has been said of a form of 
this plant that with it the world would seem rich, thosgh 
no other flower existed. It is tall enough for cutting, likes 
trifle of shade, and at Philadelphia makes itself thoroughly 
4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.00. 
CALOCHORTUS EL DORADO—Here are the hues of the 
rainbow in rare blendings, bandings and hlotchings. Splen¬ 
did flowers that remind one a bit of the Tulip, but with a 
more delicate beauty. The petal markings are like those of 
a butterfly’s wing, hence they are sometimes called Butter¬ 
fly tulips. Branching plants to two feet, hardy in well- 
drained soils. Mulch with straw or leaves in exposed loca¬ 
tions. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.00. 
CALOCHORTUS STAR AND GLOBE—One cannot show 
by words the exquisite and gracious beauty of these dainty 
flowers. Less spectacular that the El Dorado strain, they 
show marvelous pastel tones together with richer hues. In 
form they vary from nodding fairy lanterns to up-facing 
fuzzy stars. They are even hardier than the El Dorado, 
but prefer a bit of shade, while El Dorado likes the sun. 
4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.00. 
CRINUM LONGIFOLIUM-—A beautifu' and interesting 
flowering bulb of the Amaryllis family, with wide, arching, 
ribbon-like leaves two to three feet long, giving an exotic 
and tropical effect. In early summer robust flower-stalks 
appear, each crowned with a cluster of thick waxen trum¬ 
pets, white or palest blush, shading to deep rosy pink. Lasts 
a long time in blossom, and sometimes flowers again in au¬ 
tumn. Seems to be fully winter-hardy at Philadelphia and 
New York, if mulched with litter, but to be on the side of 
safety, better plant deeply in a not overly exposed location. 
In colder areas planting in cold frame might be good in¬ 
surance, or the bulbs may be dug in late autumn, and stored 
in dry sand or soil in cellar over winter. Big, flowering- 
siae, bulbs. Each 65c; 2 for $1.25; 5 for $3.00. 
MUSCARI ARMENIACUM—From hills of Asia Minor 
comes this fine species, as hardy as the old-time Grape 
Hyacinth, but earlier, longer stemmed, and altogether show¬ 
ier. It will give great splashes of sheer blue for many 
radiant spring weeks. Of full hardiness. Plant it liberally. 
10 for 25c; 25 for 75c; 100 for $2.50.
