established before they start to flower. 
The flowers are produced on terminal 
heads and are very fragrant. They last 
well when cut. Delivery Nov. to May.

large, and resemble butterflies in shape. 
Increases rapidly. 4 ft. $1.00. 
GARDNERIANUM. Larger in all its parts 
from Coronarium. Flowers in large clus¬ 
ters. The color is dark yellow with orange 
markings and the bright red filaments

Homeria 
COLLINA AURENTIACA. A bulbous 
plant from the Cape, bearing a single leaf 
3 ft. long which curves over gracefully, 
touching the ground with its tip. Flowers 
are borne on well branched stems 2 ft. 
high. They are salmon-orange in color and 
last but one day, but so many flowers are 
produced that there is a succession of 
color for at least 6 weeks in the summer. 
In the South, it is liable to become a pest 
if the seed pods are allowed to ripen and 
scatter. Culture same as gladiolus. 15c. 
OCHROLEUCA. Large flowers of bright 
yellow, occasionally marked deep orange 
in the center. 2 ft. 25c. 
Hymenocallis 
These bulbs are commonly known as 
Spider Lily or Ismene. They are natives 
of tropical and sub-tropical America. In 
the warm climates they may be planted in 
a moist, sunny location in the garden and 
left undisturbed for a number of years, 
but in cold sections they should be grown 
— 36 — 
either in the glasshouse or lifted out of 
the ground after the tops have frozen and 
stored away till next spring. Plant about 
6 inches deep. The flowers are large, about 
4 on a stem, highly fragrant and beautiful. 
Delivery December to March. 
CALATHINA. A grand summer flowering 
bulb, producing freely, large creamy 
white, fragrant flowers, somewhat re¬ 
sembling daffodils in shape. 24 in. 25c. 
FESTALIS. A magnificent, large, pure 
white flowering hybrid. 36 in. $1.50. 
SULPHUR QUEEN. Lovely pale yellow 
flowers, similar in shape and size to Cala- 
Ihina. 24 in. $2.00. 
Ixia 
South African bulbs with numerous 
showy flowers on stiff, tall, wiry stems and 
with tall, grassy foliage. The flowers close 
at night, but even when closed are deco¬ 
rative, and are greatly in demand for 
arrangements. Cultural requirements are 
the same as for Freesia or Gladiolus. For 
best results they should be planted close 
together in groups of 12 or more. In warm 
sections they may be left in the ground 
for years. Delivery Sept, to December. 
BLOEM ERF. Recently introduced hy¬ 
brids quite different from other Ixias.

branches below. Color varies from pure 
white through shades of pink overlaid with 
a bluish tinge. 75c per doz; $5.00 per 100.

flowers on slender stems 18 to 24 inches
