Cyrtanthus 
South African bulbs belonging to the 
Amaryllis family, with tubular flowers 2 
inches long in clusters of 5 to 8 on 12- 
inch stems. They multiply rapidly and 
soon make large clumps which are literally 
covered with flowers in February and 
March. In cold climates they make ideal 
pot plants for the indoor garden or con- 
servatory. Delivery throughout the year. 
*LUTESCENS. 
graceful. 35c. 
LUTESCENS VAR. 
flushed pink outside. 
MACKENI. 
Primrose yellow, very 
Light yellow inside, 
(P. I. 89644). 35e. 
Creamy white. 35c. 
Dianella 
*INTERMEDIA. Forms large clumps of 
foliage that resemble New Zealand Flax, 
and may be used for the same ornamental] 
purpose. The spreading panicles of small, 
deep blue flowers with bright orange an- 
thers are followed by oblong berries 4 in. 
long, and of the same color as the flowers. 
Will do well in any soil and exposure, and 
does very well as a pot plant. Tender to 
heavy frost. 50Oc. 
Dierama 
*PENDULA (Wedding Bells). <A _ very 
lovely relative of Ixia from the Cape of 
Good Hope. Long, grassy, evergreen foli- 
age with bell-shaped, rose colored flowers 
hanging gracefully from. slender, wiry, 
arching stems. Invaluable for flower ar- 
rangements. They do best in moist loca- 
tions in full sunlight, and when left undis- 
turbed for a number of years the huge 
clumps with hundreds of flowers swaying 
in the breeze make an unforgetable sight.

Dietes 
MORAEAS having rhizomateus roots are 
called DIETES. They are native to South 
Africa, belong to the Iris family: and re- 
quire the same cultural treatment as the 
Iris. They are hardy in localities where 
the Fig can be grown, but in the colder 
climates they will grow well in large pots 
in glasshouses, or brought indoors in very 
cold weather. They are not particular as 
to the kind of soil they are grown in, and 
will do equally well in full sun or shade. 
They will tolerate excessive moisture and 
prolonged drought. The flower stems are 
perennials and if not cut too low will last 
and produce flowers for years. The older 
the plant becomes the more stems it will 
have and consequently the more flowers. 
They have attractive evergreen foliage. 
Delivery throughout the year. 
BICOLOR. A very distinct specie with 
light green foliage and light yellow flowers 
marked in the center of the falls with 
dark, velvety brown-purple. Blooms all 
summer. $1.00. 
*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. 25c. 
os (\ ome 
CONTRAST (Giridlian 1940). Out of 
many hybrids we have raised under the 
general heading of Oakhurst Hybrids we 
have selected two outstanding varieties 
that we felt deserved to be named and in- 
troduced. These we named CONTRAST and 
LEMON DROPS. We feel that these will 
become a valuable contribution to the gar- 
dens of subtropical America. CONTRAST 
is descriptive of the coloring of its well 
rounded flowers with standards and falls 
of pure cream heavily and boldly marked 
deep brownish orange in the center of the 
falls and the style branches making a tri- 
angle of dark purple in the center of the 
flower. 4 ft. $2.00. 
*IRIDIOIDES JOHNSONII. A_ robust 
growing plant which soon forms large 
cliumps. The flowers are 4 inches across, 
purest white with lavender and orange 
markings. It blooms once every ten days 
throughout the summer and fall. 50c. 
LEMON DROPS (Giridlian 1940). This 
is one of our 1940 Dietes introductions 
and the coloring of the kower is distinct 
from that of CONTRAST. The flower is 
large and well proportioned, creamy white 
in color of the petals with large marking 
of lemon yellow on the center of the falls. 
Very lovely and refined. 4 ft. $2.00. 
We will include extra value if you will 
pay express charges. _ . ok
