CYRTANTHUS 
These are South African bulbs belong¬ 
ing to the Amaryllis family, with tubular 
flowers 2 inches long in clusters of 5 to 8 
on 15-inch stems. They multiply rapidly 
and soon make a large clump which is 
literally covered with flowers in February. 
In cold climates they make ideal pot 
plants for the indoor garden or con¬ 
servatory. Uniformly priced.50 
FLAMMEUS—Fiery red. (P. I. 78510). 
LUTESCENS — Primrose yellow, very 
graceful. 
LUTESCENS VAR.—Light yellow inside, 
flushed pink outside. (P. I. 89644). 
MACKENI—Creamy white. 
PARVIFLORUS—Scarlet. 
CYRTANTHUS 
DIANELLA 
INTERMEDIA—Forms large clumps of 
foliage that resemble New Zealand Flax, 
and may be used for the same ornamen¬ 
tal purpose. The spreading panicles of 
small, dteep blue flowers with bright 
orange anthers are followed by oblong 
berries nearly an inch long, of the same 
color as the flowers. Will do well in any 
soil and exposure, and does very well as 
a pot plant . 1.50 
DIERAMA 
PENDULA (Wedding Bells) — A very 
lovely species of Ixia from the Cape of 
Good Hope. Long, grassy, evergreen fo¬ 
liage with bell-shaped rose colored flow¬ 
ers hanging gracefully from slender, wiry, 
arching stems. Invaluable for flower ar¬ 
rangements. They do best in moist lo¬ 
cations in full sunlight, and when left 
undisturbed for a number of years, form 
huge graceful clumps rise hundreds of 
these graceful flowers, making an unfor¬ 
gettable picture .50 
DIETES (Moraea) 
Moreas with Rhizomateus Roots and 
evergreen foliage have been transferred 
to Dietes. They may be given the same 
treatment as for Iris in the warm clim¬ 
ates, but in the East they should be grown 
in pots or tubs and brought indoors in 
the winter. 
CATANULATA—A low growing variety 
with broad foliage and prostrate habit. 
Medium sized, waxy white flowers on tall, 
perennial stems which have a tendency 
to lie on the ground, but will grow to a 
height of 4 to 6 ft. if staked ..50 
IRIDIOIDES JOHNSONII —A robust 
growing plant with narrow, straight fo¬ 
liage soon forming large clumps which 
will be covered with flowers every ten 
days or so throughout the summer. The 
flowers are large, pure white, with lav¬ 
ender style branches and orange signal 
blotch. They resemble a white iris in 
every way. They should not be used for 
cutting as the flower stems will last for 
years if uncut.50 
OAKHURST HYBRIDS (J. N. Girid- 
lian, 1937)—These are produced by cross¬ 
ing D. Catanulata with D. bi-color. They 
make large clumps which are highly or¬ 
namental in the garden. The flowers are 
creamy white, well rounded in shape, 2 
inches across on 4 ft. stems. Although 
their main blooming season is during the 
summer, flowers may be found on the 
established plants during every day of the 
year. We consider this plant a distinct 
improvement over existent varieties. . 1.50
