Lycoris 
RADIATA, like Squamigera, is a summer-flowering variety, 
but it is not hardy like Squamigera. It is, however, a beautiful 
and very easily grown bulb for the house, providing the planting 
is done in August or very early in September. Grow it in a bowl 
with pebbles and water or in a pot with some moist earth. A few 
weeks after planting the flower spikes appear as if by magic. 
The flowers last for several weeks and are as handsome as 
orchids. In the South the bulbs may be grown outside where 
they multiply rapidly. We positively do not guarantee these 
bulbs to bloom if planted later than September 10th. The bulbs 
are sent in early August. (Color illustration, page 44.) 
Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 

Squamigera (Amaryllis Halli) Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
Produces in early spring attractive green foliage which grows until July 
when it ripens and disappears. About a month later, as if by magic, 
the flower stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 to 3 feet, 
developing an umbel of large, Lily-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, 
of a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy; must be 
planted in fall. Cover crown about 4 inches. 

Leucojum Aestivum 
NHorkensta Virginica 
(Virginia Blue Bells) 
This is indispensable in the garden for color effect; flowers are porcelain- 
blue; buds pink at opening. The plant grows from | to 2 feet high, bearing 
cG panicle of flowers about 1 inch long in short pendent clusters. It is 
splendid for the open border or for naturalizing along the woodland path. 
We know of no other spring flower which does so well in deepest shade. 
It flowers from the time Daffodils are in bloom, continuing while the May- 
flowering Tulips are at their best. Use this delightful plant in quantities, 
as it is permanent and so helpful to create beautiful pictures, especially in 
shady places. (Color illustration, page 18.)

Lachenalia Pendula Superba 
NMoraea 
An interesting group most of which are natives of South Africa, many 
being new to cultivation. Some are useful for cutting, others for the peren- 
nial garden and others still for pot culture and rock gardens. All listed 
below flower in spring. They show a wide range of colors and vary in height 
from 6 inches to 3 feet. On most of them the foliage is not important. 
Same culture as for Freesias. 
Glaucopis (Iris pavonia) Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 
Often called Peacock Iris. Flowers white or light blue with peacock eye 
at base of outer segments. Stems 10 to 15 inches high. Excellent for 
cutting, forcing, rock gardens and pots. 
Doz. $1.75, 100: $12.00 
Polystachya 
Slender plant 18 to 24 inches high with many wiry branches. Well cov- 
ered with flowers looking at a distance like a close group of butterflies. 
The outer segments of the flowers are light mauve, penciled with Parma 
violet, with a bright yellow spot at the base, inner segments light mauve 
with little pencilings. Starts flowering 6 weeks after planting and keeps 
on 3 to 4 months. Corms can be had in cold place at 40 degrees to 
make successive plantings over a long period. 
Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 
Ispetala 
New introduction. Slender well-branched plant 6 to 8 inches high. Flow- 
ers similar to Moraea polystachya but lavender in color. Most useful in 
pots and-rock gardens. 
NKuscwi - Grape Hyacinths 
Muscari are charming spring-flowering subjects. They can grow under 
trees and shrubs and also do well in full sun in the border or at a sunny 
spot of the rockery, without any special attention. They are best planted 
immediately on receipt and can remain undisturbed for years. They are 
absolutely hardy and some varieties are delicately fragrant. Botryoides, 
Azureum and Armeniacum are beautiful when forced in the house, same 
culture as Freesias; while Plumosum is always a source of great interest. 
All are about five inches high. Owing to war, Botryoides and Azureum not 
available this year, 
Armeniacum (Heavenly Blue) Doz. $0.85, 100 $5.75, 1000 $50.00 
Deep cobalt-blue flowers, producing many spikes with large flowers. 
Wonderfully fragrant. While there are several kinds of Muscari, we 
consider this variety the best for mass planting. Their flowers open 
just about the time that the Crocuses are going. They do well in the 
wild garden and also in grass not too rank. They are nice under trees 
and along borders where they may be left undisturbed. (Color illustra- 
tion, page 18.) 
ONexine 
Sarniensis (Guernsey Lily) Doz. $1.10, 100 $7.50 
From 10 to 20 flowers are borne on slender scapes | to 114 feet high in 
early autumn. They are bright crimson in color, about 11/4 inches across; 
the sickle-shaped segments being scarcely crisped; filaments are bright 
red. The leaves appear after the flowers. They are easily grown indoors, 
in the North, but in the South may be grown outdoors in ordinary good 
garden soil.
