Culture. Clivias are choice and rare pot plants in the north. They do 
so well in pots that they are usually grown that way even in the south. They 
require almost full shade. An ideal method for outdoor culture is in a lath 
house with laths spaced only 144” apart and extending north and south so that 
spots of sunlight are in motion. The sun must not linger long in one place. 
They do well under trees or north of a building. They require good drainage, 
frequent watering in the growing season, a rest with only slight moisture in 
winter. The soil should be rich and between mildly acid to mildly alkaline, 
the former better. Give manure water occasionally when growing. They 
will survive a few degrees of frost, not many, as they are tropical. In semi- 
tropical climates, they do best in the ground. 
A NEW DEAL IN CLIVIAS 
We are making a drastic cut in the price of Clivia hybrids. This is less 
than one half of our original price. Since none of our other varieties or 
species can be sold in competition with this price they are not offered this 
spring. 
Clivia miniata hybrids. These 
are very hardy and easily grown. 
They have the lovely wide open 
flowers of miniata, but in several 
color tones. The species miniata 
has but one color from which it 
does not vary. The hybrids in 
some cases closely resemble that 
color. Others are lighter, in fact 
a few approach white. Many are 
darker in color. The majority 
have very soft orange toned pink 
flowers of great beauty. 
Special Prices. The largest sizes 
are offered for $2.00 each. $22 
per doz. Per 100, $186. Smaller 
blooming size, $1.50 each $17.00 
per doz. Per 100, $139. Small. 
Some of these may bloom this 
year. Most of them will probably 
bloom next year but that is un- 
predictable and a few may not 
bloom for two years. $1.00 each. 
$11.00 per doz. Per 100, $90.00. 
These are assorted colors. If you 
want a certain color we will send 
it when first flowers open, but the 
price is $5.00. 
See illustration. This plant was - 
shipped loose—roots, budded, to en, 
Adam Steinhauer, Detroit, and 
picture made two weeks after receipt. 
Many ask us to send Clivias in bud. We cannot do that at this price 
but we can furnish the largest size is bud (in their season) for $2.50. Smaller 
sizes will not be furnished in bud as they vary in performance. 
We ship Clivias loose rooted. Have pots and soil ready. Roots treated 
with Vit. Bl take hold more quickly. Immerse only roots. 
Cooperia pedunculata,. Texas Rain Lily. Closely related to Zephyranthes, 
and may be handled same way. Hardy except in coldest sections. Probably 
hardy in the north if planted 6” deep and well mulched. Or dig and store. 
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. 15c ea. Per 
doz., $1.25.
