plant subjects, are available from November to February. 
Pink, 75c each; Yellow, 25c each. 
CLORIOSA OR GLORY LILIES 
These are fine tuberous rooted plants, climbing several 
feet by the tendrils on the leaves. They have L- or 
V-shaped tubers which are planted in spring for G. 
superba and any time the tubers are ready, in the case 
of G. Rothschildiana, usually spring or summer. 
Gloriosa Roths, tubers may be planted outdoors in the 
North in May after the soil is warmed with good results. 
We have had reports on a plant which produced 22 
blooms in a Connecticut garden in summer. 
In warm climates they present no problem, but in the 
North they are most frequently (G. superba and G. 
Roths.) handled in pots. The tubers are laid flat and 
covered with two inches of soil. They want good drain¬ 
age and a medium rich sandy loam. The vines should 
be tied to light bamboo sticks, or wire. 
The flowers are among the showiest in the garden 
world, an amazing flamboyant red and yellow for G. 
Rothschildiana and a beautiful orange for G. superba. 
The bulbs are dug in the fall and stored warm and dry. 
Gloriosa Rothschildiana, strong tubers, 35c and 50c 
each. 
Gloriosa superba, 35c each. 
We have a few “bulbs” of the related plant, Saun- 
dersonia aurantiaca, which produces little orange yellow 
bells on twining stems, from tubers, in summer. This 
species is from South Africa and is very rare and unusual. 
$1.00 each. 
We also have an unusual species of Gloriosa, inter¬ 
mediate in character between G. superba and Roths., 
a purple variety of G. Leopoldi, which is a good 
plant. $2.00 each in winter. We are experimenting 
with G. Plantii G. virescens and others. 
ZEPHYRANTHES—“Rain Lilies” 
(Also known as Zephyr lilies, Fairy lilies and Lilies of 
the West Wind.) (Including for cultural purposes Hab- 
ranthus). 
For spring and summer flowers. 
These are among the most worth while of all the 
small bulbs, and we most sincerely recommend that you 
try them. We have never heard of any garden lover 
disappointed with the results obtained from Zephyran- 
thes, and once one starts to grow them, the end is far 
off, because there are species and species to grow and 
find delight in seeing bloom. 
They are of easy culture for the most part, handling 
much like tiny Amaryllis (they do belong to the Amary¬ 
llis family). A few species, like Z. Atamasco, Z. Trea- 
tiae, Z. mesochloa, Habranthus texana, etc., are some¬ 
what difficult in cultivation, but with care can be 
mastered by the persistent amateur.
