Ttlaemanthus Gane 
Coccineus Each $1.25, Doz. $11.00 
“Blood flower.’’ One of a large group of tropical and sub-tropical bulbs 
of the Amaryllis family all of which are interesting and curious and 
some very showy. This variety has two bright green opposite leaves 3 to 
5 inches wide and 1 to 2 feet long lying flat on the ground, growing in 
the winter. The single bright red flower appears in the fall before the 
leaves. It is a large cluster or umbel 2 to 4 inches across composed of 
many small flowers closely placed. Stem 6 to 9 inches high, green 
heavily spotted with red. General appearance striking and curious. 
HELLEBORUS (Christmas Rose). See page 75. 
Ixia - Corn Lilies 
Bloem Erf Doz. $1.00, 100 $6.75 
Recently introduced hybrid from South Africa, quite different from other 
Ixias. Blooms in late spring. Wiry stems 4 to 5 feet tall with 20 to 40 
open flowers in a raceme at the top with several smaller flowering 
branches below. Color varies from pure white through shades of pink 
overlaid with a bluish tinge. Excellent for cutting. 
Mixed Doz. $0.85, 100 $5.25 
These beautiful bulbs from the Cape Colony (South Africa) are far too 
little known; they should be planted in late autumn and in cold dis- 
tricts they must be covered with a thick layer of straw or leaves. They 
are splendid for southern states. There are few bulbs so lovely and 
graceful and those fortunate enough to live where the climate is mild 
should plant them by the hundreds,

Pallasi (Tataricum) Doz. $2.35, 100 $16.00

the small “‘spring’’ bulbs to flower. Supply very limited. 
Leucojum - Snowflake 
Aestivum (Summer Snowflake) Doz. $1.05, 100 $7.25 
A very handsome, hardy, robust growing plant, producing spikes of

stems about 14 to 18 inches high. Same culture as for Narcissi. 
Vernum (Spring Snowflake) Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 
This is one of the earliest and most attractive spring flowers. Growing 
from 6 to 8 inches high they bear dainty nodding flowers which are 
white, tipped with green. Plant in early fall in a good, light, well- 
drained soil 4 or 5 inches apart in masses or bold clumps, 2 inches deep. 
If left alone will bloom year after year.

Ornithogalum Aureum 

Sachenalia 
This Cape bulb has been terribly neglected in this country. They have been 
long known in Europe under the name of Cape Cowslip. These bulbs are 
especially useful for forcing as they can be grown in flats or in pots or 
baskets. All of them do well out-of-doors in milder climates and are showy 
in beds, borders, and rock gardens and all are easily grown under glass. 
They have from one to two dozen generally pendulous, fire-cracker-like 
flowers, three-quarters to one inch in length on stems six to nine inches 
and bloom from late November to February, depending on the time of 
planting and the temperature in which they are grown. The flowers are 
loosely borne in a tapering spike eight to twelve inches high, but do not 
droop. Stamens and style in some varieties extend beyond the mouth of 
the flower. 
Cultural directions: Same as Freesias.. May be had in bloom at Christmas. 
Bulbs multiply freely and may be used from year to year. 
Pendula superba Doz. $2.25, 100 $14.00

like green leaves. One of the best and earliest. Excellent for indoor 
growing. Easily in bloom by Christmas. 
Rector of Cawston Doz. $2.25, 100 $14.00

shaped leaves with red spots. 
Tubiflora Doz. $2.25, 100 $14.00

purple. One green leaf. 

Leucocoryne Ixioides Odorata 
Leucocoryne : Glory-of-the-Sun 
Ixioides odorata Doz. $1.60, 100 $12.00 
Flowers exquisite light blue on tall, wiry stems and of very long-lasting 
quality, with faint heliotrope fragrance; for greenhouse culture or out- 
doors in warm states. March and April flowering. Unquestionably one 
of the loveliest new bulbs introduced. We predict it to be as much used 
as Freesias as soon as the price permits its free planting.
