Cooperiai pedunculata. Texas Rain Lily. Closely related to Zephyranthes, 
and may be handled same way. Hardy except in coldest sections. Probably hardy 
well toward the north if planted 5" or 6" deep and well mulched. 
The large bulbs have a long neck and should be planted 4" deep in south. 
Dry climate natives. If occasionally allowed to go on dry side then well soaked 
a profusion of most lovely white flowers will follow. 20c ea. Per doz., $1.75. 
Crinum. Read the article, “How to have a gorgeous garden of tropical 
bulbs,” in this catalog. Crinums are very popular and are often seen in the 
south from Florida to Louisiana and many are grown in Texas near the coast. 
But in California, these bulbs, among the most useful for tropical gardening 
effects, are neglected and little known. 
The plants have a wide variety of form and all are very attractive. Some 
resemble small palms or bananas. The sweet scented flowers are usually lily 
shaped and range from pure white to deep wine red. 
A large group of Crinums have white flowers with a wine red stripe thru 
center of petals. These are known as “Milk and Wine” lilies. They vary widely 
in color tones. 
They will grow and bloom in pots but the bulbs are very large in most 
species and require a very large pot, bucket or tub. Hence they are not adapted 
to small apartments. But when space permits they are worth while. In the north 
they may be grown in large tubs and buckets outside and moved to light base¬ 
ment to winter. Or by Gladiolus method, preferably with ball of earth. But 
their perfection is reached in California and the south where they should be in 
every garden. Several new species and hybrids are offered this year. 
Crinum amabile. A very large bulb and plant. Flowers are very large with 
long narrow petals, Crimson purple outside and pink inside. The flowers are 
very freely produced in all seasons when the bulb is well established. The de-- 
lightful perfume is so strong that it scents the entire garden. $3.50. 
C. americanum. The species is native to southeastern U. S. where it is found 
in several varieties. Some are found in swamps and do not do well in dry cli¬ 
mates. This variety came here long ago and does well. The lovely white flowers 
are tinted pink and have long narrow petals. If freely watered it blooms abun¬ 
dantly. Bulb is small and increases in a peculiar way by underground stolons 
and quite rapidly makes a large clump. 75c each. $7.50 per doz. 
C. asiaticum. A grand tropical appearing plant up to 6 ft. The long bulb 
gives the appearance of a large stem topped by broad handsome leaves arranged 
in a rosette. Large flowers of pure white with long linear narrow petals, re¬ 
sembling spider lilies, in umbels of about 20. Blooms nearly all the year. Set the 
base of the bulb only a few inches deep. Medium $3.50. Large $4.50. 
C. campanulatum. Belongs to “Milk and Wine Lily” type. Markings are 
bright rose red. The “milk” is lightly tinted rose. $2. 
C. Cecil Houdyshel. The standard of hybrid Crinums for all qualities 
considered. Altho the same cross as C. Powelli it grows much larger,—taller, 
longer leaves, more robust and many more flowers. Huge bulbs up to 8" diam. It 
is almost ever-blooming, often producing up to 7 stalks in one year. No other 
Crinum can equal its profusion of flowers which are attractive deep rose. 
Blooming size, $1. Large, $1.50. Jumbo bulbs, $2.00. Per doz., $9.00, $13.50 
and $17.50. 
C. Ellen Bousanquet. A gorgeous new hybrid. The color is so unusual, we 
could scarce believe our eyes on first sight of it. Very deep wine red of glowing
