H. Olympic. Parentage unknown to me but probably from Sulphur Queen 
or Amancaes. The largest lsmene. Large primrose-yellow flowers, green 
stripes and throat. $10.00. 
H. Sulphur Queen. H. calathina X H. amancaes hybrid. A primrose 
yellow lsmene. $2.00 each. 
H. caribaea. An easily handled large Spider Lily. Hardy as far north as 
N. Carolina and no doubt could be easily grown in northern states as the hardy 
Amaryllis Halli if planted deep below the frost, and mulched. 75c. 
H. galvestonensis. Claimed to be hardy in north and very likely is if 
planted deep. We had over 1000 collected for us in Texas. Planted over a 
year ago. They have done nothing here so far. Either transplanting stops 
them a long time or this Texan does not like California. Leaves appear but 
make little growth. Bulbs appear sound and have rooted. Priced reasonably 
so that you can experiment and report. In Texas they go as deep as 12". 50c. 
H. Harrisiana. A small easily grown Spider Lily that is a dependable 
bloomer and can be dug and stored. $1.50. 
H. species 1. A dwarf Spider Lily that thrives in the north when dug 
and stored in fall but not a free bloomer by that method. In milder sections 
try deep permanent planting. Very pretty. 20c. 
H. species 2. One of the large species that is evergreen unless cut by 
frost. The large white flowers are produced freely in many flowered umbels 
and are exquisite. Will do well anywhere in mild climates and would probably 
succeed in N. Carolina and Washington, D. C. $1.50. 
Hypoxis leptocarpa. Star Grass. Grass-like leaves, yellow flowers. Not 
showy but interesting to collectors. 25c. 
Leucojum vernum. Quite hardy everywhere. Very early, blooming in 
north before snow is gone. Dainty white flowers, petals tipped with dot of 
green. Plant 4" to 6" deep. 10c ea. 50c doz. 
Lycoris. Fall blooming Amaryllids. Hardy well up into middle south. 
Those making winter foliage do not lose it at 20° temperature. Two species 
squamigera and incarnata do not make foliage until early spring and if planted 
6" deep and mulched are hardy. We buy many bulbs of squamigera in Indiana. 
Delivery of all species in June. 
Lycoris aurea. Golden Spider Lily. Very rare and one of nature’s most 
gorgeous flowers. Deep gold. Plant 5" deep. Prefer sandy soil. $2.00. 
L. incarnata. Flesh colored flowers with reddish lines. $2.50. 
L. radiata. Red Spider Lily. Formerly known in U. S. as Nerine 
sarniensis, but not that. Gorgeous red, spidery flowers. Easy culture and 
hardy to N. Carolina. Special 20c ea. 4 for 50c. 9 for $1.00. 
L. squamigera. The famous hardy Amaryllis Halli. The flower umbel 
without foliage resembles Amaryllis belladonna. Color, lilac to pink. Plant 
6" deep and mulch in the north. Every northern garden should have them. 
$1.00 ea. $10.00 doz. 
Nerine filifolia. The smallest Nerine. Evergreen foliage with dainty 
pink flowers in the fall. Moved any time of year. Hardy only in south, does 
not stand 20°. All Nerines do well in pots. 25c ea., 5 for $1.00. $2.00 doz. 
Nerine, assorted hybrids. Very lovely varieties are included. Summer 
delivery. $1.00 ea. 
Pancratium maritimum. Has sweetly fragrant white flowers like the 
lsmene but smaller and has no green in throat. 25c ea. Per doz. $2.50. 
Polianthes tuberosa, called universally just “tuberose,” is a favorite of 
northern as well as southern gardens. The tall spikes of waxy white flowers 
have the heaviest, sweetest perfume in the garden. A few think it too heavy 
for the house but we like a few of them in a bouquet or better still, alone 
in a vase. 
The bulbs should not be subjected to cold even near 32° either in the 
ground or in storage. The flower bud if chilled may refuse to develop though
