many reds. Don’t ask for certain colors in this lot. 50c each. $5.00 per doz. 
H. White Hybrids. These have the species “solandriflorum” in ancestry, 
and have a very spicy fragrance. Some are nearly white but usually lightly 
marked with pink. But the effect is white. $1.00 each. $10.00 per doz. 
H. equestre. A lovely salmon pink. Give it poor sandy soil, no fertilizer. 
This encourages flowers instead of foliage and bulb increase. 35c ea. 
$3.50 doz. 
H. johnsonii. The oldest hybrid, still a favorite. It does best of any for 
outdoor planting in the south. Equally desirable in pots. Rich red with white 
stripe in center of petals. 50c ea. $5.00 doz. 
H. Red Hybrids. We bought these and have grown them one year.

$10.00. Price $1.00. 
H. Sibyl HoudysheJ. White with a narrow border of pink. Throat blotch 
of pink and some light feathering of the same color in petals. The general 
effect is of a white flower lightly marked pink. A thrifty grower and multiplier. 
We are obliged to modify our price according to size of our stock. Price, 
each $4.00. Per doz. $45.00. No wholesale discounts. 
H. advenum, Ox-blood Inly. This is quite different from the above 
Hippeastrums hence not included in alphabetic order. It belongs to the sub¬ 
genus Habranthus. This is usually listed as Habranthus miniatus. 
The ox-blood red flowers are small, in an umbel of 6 to 8 or more 
and appear in the fall. It is a winter grower. The foliage stands at least 
20° temperature without injury so it may be planted well up in the middle 
south. The long neck requires it be planted 6" deep. Give full sun. Delivery 
in June. 25c ea. $2.00 doz. 
H. advenum. Pink form. 35c ea. $3.50 doz. 
Habranthus robustus. Formerly listed as a Zephyranthes. Large, lilac 
pink flowers that are useful for cutting. The summer foliage persists into the 
winter when warm. 15c ea. $1.50 doz. 
Habranthus texanus. Usually listed as a Zephyranthes. Very small plant 
and bulb. Deep yellow flowers, coppery outside, in fall before foliage appears, 
Texas native, hardy much farther north. Plant 2" deep, or more farther north. 
June delivery. 15c ea. $1.25 doz. 
Hymenocallis. Spider Lilies and Ismene. This genus contains some of 
the most beautiful of the Amaryllids. Few except the Ismene are seen com¬ 
monly in gardens. Their exquisite white, dainty beauty makes this fact 
regrettable. 
Culture. The Ismene and some of the Spider Lilies can be handled by 
the “Gladiolus method,” dug in the fall after tops die (or are killed by frost) 
and stored in a frost free cellar. Dry the bulbs well. As they like a long 
season plant as early as possible or in the north start in pots and shift to 
garden when warm. In the south it is probably better to leave in the ground 
tho we dig ours usually. 
Hymenocallis calathina. The Ismene or Peruvian Daffodil is an old 
favorite. Large white flowers flushed and veined green with large cup in 
center. Very fragrant. Specially priced as we have a large stock. Large, 25c. 
M. 15c. S. 10c. 
The next five are very rare Ismene hybrids, more beautiful and very free 
flowering. No wholesale discounts. 
Hymenocallis calathina Advance. Grows two feet high. Very large pure 
white flowers, green stripes in throat. A great improvement and much more 
free flowering. $5.00. 
H. festalis is a H. calathina X Elisena longipetala, hybrid. Magnificent 
pure white large flowers. $6.00. 
H. festalis Triumph. Very large, elegant, snow white flowers. A great 
improvement on Festalis. $7.50.
