Mac^ Jlilu. 
This bulb, known botanically as Lycoris 
Squamigera, is a native of Japan and one 
of the most interesting members of the 
Amaryllis family. It produces attractive 
green foliage in the spring which disap¬ 
pears in midsummer. About a month 
later, as if by magic, the flower stalk 
appears, bearing a cluster of 7 to 1 2 fra¬ 
grant Lily-shaped flowers of delicate 
lilac-pink, shaded blue. 
The Magic Lily is perfectly hardy in 
the northern states, where it may be 
left in the ground year after year 
unmolested. If planted in August 
they will flower the same summer 
they are set out. As the supply is 
limited, order early with the rest of 
your bulbs and we will ship at the 
proper planting time. Price, 85e 
each; 3 for $2.25, postpaid. 
VERBENA 
When Verbena Brilliant was introduced we 
thought we had found the last word in this 
evcr-popular flower. This year we are proud to 
introduce "God of Fire," which is far superior 
to any other variety. One observer said; "This 
Verbena is, so far as color is concerned, the 
rnost startling thing I have ever seen. It is the 
first time I have ever seen a flower of a color 
which actually hurt my eyes and seemed to 
dance from its sheer brilliance. It is too bad 
that such names as "Dazzler" and "Brilliant" 
have been used up in applying them to plants 
of comparatively dull shades." This statement 
was made by a well-known horticultural pho¬ 
tographer and more aptly describes the bril¬ 
liant red of Verbena God of Fire than anything 
we can say about it. The flower heads, 2 inches 
and more across, are made up of 20 to 30 
florets Vz inch across. No matter how crowded 
your garden may be, be sure to make room 
for a few of these plants. Prices; 40c each; 
3 for $1.00; 12 for $3.50, postpaid. 
SEEDLESS CONCORD 
After years of experimentation and cross¬ 
breeding a perfectly hardy seedless Grape has 
been developed. The first of a new race of 
Grapes that should eventually replace the com¬ 
mon large seeded varieties for table use. It is 
of the Concord type, but slightly smaller, blue- 
black in color, and possesses the same fine 
flavor found in the Concord Grape. One-year- 
old, field-grown stock, $1.25 each; 3 or more 
at $1.00 each. 
APRICOT 
You have never tasted more de¬ 
licious fruits than those picked from 
an Apricot tree growing in North¬ 
ern Ohio. This rare tree was im¬ 
ported ir) 1914 from Europe, from 
that territory along the banks of 
the Danube River. The tree is per¬ 
fectly hardy. Having attained a 
height of 30 feet and a spread of 
35 feet, with a stout, rugged trunk, 
18 inches in diameter, it bespeaks 
itself of having withstood the trying 
elements of nature. It is unbeliev¬ 
ably productive, having produced 15 
bushels of luscious, pink cheeked 
Apricots in 1939. No fruit is 
finer for eating fresh or for can¬ 
ning and preserving. 
The trees we offer have all 
been produced from this one 
original and each possesses all 
of the same fine qualities. You 
can plant them with confidence 
that the fruit will be enjoyed 
for many years to come, and you 
will also find it a very desirable 
lawn tree. Choice trees, 75c 
each; 3 for $1.95. 
Qa/Utcdio^ BEATRICE 
The Everblooming Cluster Carnation 
It is impossible to fully describe the beauty of 
these flower clusters. The color is a warm salmon- 
pink. The clusters measure three to four inches 
across, giving the impression of one huge flower. 
They are delightfully fragrant and are produced in¬ 
termittently from June until frost. Very strong and 
hardy. See page 41 for other hardy Carnations. 
Plants, 35e each; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.50, postpaid.
