EUCHARIS GRANDIFLORA—The Amazon Lily. Splendid 
bulb for pot growing:. Pure white waxen flowers of ex¬ 
quisite beauty. Everblooming, or rather it may be bloomed 
at intervals throughout the year. Each $1.00 ; 3 for $2.85. 
MILLA BIFLORA—Sweet fragrance here. It is the lovely 
White Star Lily of Mexican highlands. Described page 4, 
illustrated, page 38. Good bulbs, each 40c; 3 for $1.00; 
10 for $3.00. 
CRINUM LONGIFOLIUM — A giant Amaryllis-segregate 
that is particularly adaptable to garden culture. From 
great fountains of arching leaf-ribbons yard-high stems 
will rise, each with a crown of white or rose-tinted flower 
trumpets that seem cast in brittle, glistening wax. Blooms 
through late spring and into early summer, with usually a 
few more flowers in autumn. Bulbs may be dug in late 
autumn, and stored over winter in basement, but at Phila¬ 
delphia and New York they carry over safely in the open 
ground. Probably winter-hardy outside much further north, 
at least if planted in a somewhat protected position, and 
mulched a bit with straw or litter. An unusual, and safe, 
beauty for favorable remark. Makes big bulbs. Each 85c ; 
2 for $1.50 ; 4 for $2.90. 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS—Giant Summer Hyacinth. The 
towering spikes, hung with pendant, creamy Hyacinth bells, 
may reach five feet. Rightly placed, it will be a striking 
accent. Groups of three or four bulbs together, in the hardy 
perennial border, will give splendid decorative effects. 
Illustrated, page 38. 3 for 25c ; 10 for 70c. 
HYMENOCALLIS SPP. — White chalice-flowers, ragged 
edged and fragrant. Excellent for cutting, or in the gar¬ 
den. Seem to be two or more species here, but all good. 
Gladiolus culture. 3 for 25c; 10 for 75c. 
DOLLAR BULB SPECIAL—Here are delightful bulbs 
for the summer garden. All are of easiest culture, 
handled just like Gladiolus. Included are 8 Exquis¬ 
ite Fairy Lilies Mixed, 2 Garden Amaryllis form- 
osissima, 10 Gay Summer Oxalis (mixed colors), and 
3 Hyacinthus candicans, the Giant Summer Hya¬ 
cinth. Altogether there are 23 bulbs, four separately 
labeled kinds, for only ONE DOLLAR. (See note 
re postage and packing, top opposite page). 
OXALIS FOR THE CARDEN 
There is an elfin daintiness about the exquisitely formed 
blossoms of Oxalis, and an unrestrained prodigality of color¬ 
ful blooming, that gives them an appeal beyond that of 
many a more ambitious flower. Beside their value for edg¬ 
ings, to which, by the way, the rich beauty of their lush 
foliage recommends them, as well as their spendthrift flow¬ 
ering, they are particularly intriguing when clumped in the 
rock garden. Then those who like bedding effects will like¬ 
wise find them surprisingly good material. They are in 
flower for months. Dig in late autumn, giving frostproof 
winter storage. Illustrated, page 65. 
OXALIS LATIFOLIA—Rather rare summer-flowering Ox¬ 
alis of high merit for edgings, rock gardens, bedding, ox- 
window boxes. Ever-blooming. Clover-like foliage. Pretty 
blossoms of violet-lavender in great profusion. 8 for 25c , 
25 for 50c; 50 for $1.00. 
OXALIS DIEPPI ALBA—Another excellent summer Ox¬ 
alis, this time with flowers of diaphanous white. 10 for 25c ; 
25 for 50c; 60 for $1.00. 
OXALIS TETRAPHYLLA—Clustered blossoms of soft old 
rose, above brown-banded foliage in four-leaf-clover effect. 
Splendid edger. 7 for 25c ; 15 for 50c. 
OXALIS LASIANDRA—Rather large blossoms of deep pink, 
clustered on sixteen-inch stems. Radiating leaflets in odd 
effect. Vigorous, 6 for 25c; 12 for 45c. 
OXALIS MIXED—The above in blend. Note that bulb size 
will be widely variable, according to kind. 10 for 25c ; 
25 for 50c; 60 for $1.00 ; 100 for $1.50 ; 500 for $6.50. 
OXALIS VARIABILIS — Here is a splendid flower for 
autumn rock garden bloom, or for the early winter window. 
The bulbs may be planted in spring, but it will be late 
August before the pretty little foliage cushions appear, 
these set closely with short-stemmed blossoms of really 
immense size for an Oxalis, undulate, and of a clear and 
pure rich pink, deep-centered with creamy primrose. The 
blossoms come in long succession, plants bloom-full until 
hard freezes compel digging of the bulbs If potted, they 
will flower well into winter. Bulbs available. May to 
September. 6 for 30c ; 12 for 50c ; 25 for $1.00. 
THE EXQUISITE FAIRY LILIES 
Dainty and charming flowers over a long season, with 
easiest cultural habits, mark this group of closely related 
bulbs. Delightful in the garden but will do wonderfully, 
too, in pots or window boxes. They bloom profusely afber 
each shower. Water well in drought. Store bulbs in win¬ 
ter, as you would those of Gladiolus.

fumed flowers of pink-tinged white, all summer. Long

golden waxiness in rather early spring. There is an al¬ 
luring fragrance. 3 for 25c; 10 for 75c; 25 for $1.75. 
ZEPHYRANTHES CARINATA—The blossoms, a full three 
inches across, open a rich shade of rose that gradually 
softens to clear pink. An exquisite beauty. Blooms after 
each shower from June to November. 2 for 25c; 5 for 60c; 
11 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00. 
ZEPHYRANTHES AJAX—Primrose Lily. Creamy yellow 
blossoms, blush-tinted, in uttermost profusion for many 
months. Each clump of it becomes a graceful foot-high

The world neither began with us, nor will it end 
with us. We are but dust of infinity. Due humble¬ 
ness becomes us in thought, and plan and deed. 
There was intelligence before us, there will be in¬ 
telligence beyond us. May our doing, then, be step 
by step, each to the full honesty of our present 
knowledge and skill. Pride-full vaunting plans for 
the arrangings of generations to come, may well be 
forgotten. Those generations will do according fo 
their light, carrying on in their own way from our 
leaving off.
