Lycoris. Fall blooming Amaryllid. Hardy well up into middle south. 
Radiata and aurea do not lose their foliage at 20°, and might stand lower 
without injury. L. squamigera and L. incarnata are quite hardy in the north. 
L. aurea. Golden Spider Lily. Very rare and one of nature’s most gor- 
geous flowers. Deep gold. Plant about 4” deep. Prefer sandy soil. $2.00. 
L. incarnata. Flesh colored flowers with reddish markings. $2.50. 
L. radiata. Red Spider Lily. This is one of the south’s very best bulbs. 
A bed of them in bloom will catch and hold the attention in any competition 
by other flowers. Large umbels on 12” stems of the most vividly coral red 
flowers with long, undulated and reflexed petals and very long stamens. One 
of easiest bulbs to grow. Hardy to North Carolina. 15c. Seven for $1.00. 
L. squamigera. The famous hardy Amaryllis Halli. The flower umbel 
without foliage resembles Amaryllis belladonna. Color, lilac to pink. Plant 4” 
deep and mulch in the north. Every northern garden should have them. $1.00 
ea. $10.00 per doz. 
Nerine. One of the most beautiful of the Amaryllids but few know them. 
There are, or were good stocks in Europe, but very few in America. They are 
autumn flowering, beginning here with N. filifolia and N. c. fothergilli in Sept. 
to Oct. N. Bowdenii in Oct. to Dec. Today, Jan. 1, our N. rosea crispa are 
showing flower stems. All our species, except one, proved hardy here when we 
had two weeks of temperatures down to 20° and ice 1” thick. With deeper 
planting and in a protected place they would probably survive 16°. N. filifolia 
is the most tender and probably 22° or 24° would be its limit. 
Nerines like a sandy loam containing much leaf mold. We add peat as 
they prefer an acid soil. We plant in full sun. The bulbs become dormant 
about June and should receive no water until August. 
They are ideal pot bulbs. Three bulbs may be planted in a 5” pot and 
remain undisturbed for 5 years. They resent being disturbed and if roots are 
lost they seldom flower the first year. They bloom and grow better when 
pot-bound. 
Give plenty of water when growing and occasionally liquid manure. Get 
the best possible growth. When tops begin to yellow gradually reduce water. 
When dormant, they should remain in the full sun but receive no water. 
Nerine Bowdenii. About 10 or more large rose pink flowers in an umbel 
9” across on a 15”-18” stem or scape. One of the most choice and very easy to 
grow. $1.00. Extra large bulbs, $1.50. Ready now. 
N. curvifolia, var. fothergillii. The flowers are large and bright deep red 
in color. Very rare in America. $1.50. June delivery. 
N. filifolia. The smallest Nerine. Evergreen foliage with dainty pink 
flowers. Moved any time of year. They must be crowded to flower well and 
as many as a dozen may be planted in a 5” pot. They increase very rapidly and 
hence a low price is possible. Three for 35c. $1.00 per doz. 
N. rosea crispa. A hybrid with flowers resembling N. filifolia but in a 
larger umbel on a scape 15” or more tall. 30c. Largest size, 50c. June 
delivery. 
Pancratium maritimum. Very fragrant white flowers, in shape like an 
Ismene but pure snow white. Culture simple. Plant them 4” deep and watch 
them grow. Hardy in middle south. 15c. 
Polianthes tuberosa. Tuberoses. Entrancing fragrance! Don’t buy in- 
cense or perfume. Grow tuberoses and perfume your house and all the neigh- 
borhood. The beautiful spikes are favorites for cutting. We have a large stock 
and are reducing the price in order to sell all to our retail customers. They 
need not be dug every year in the south. 
Polianthes tuberosa, var. Double Pearl. The favorite variety. A perfect 
spike of double waxy white flowers. 6c ea. 50c doz. 26 for $1.00. $3.50 per 100.
