(N.B. Our 100 rate may be so low that it takes all the profit to ship pre- 
paid to distant points. We shall have to adjust this a little in size of bulbs 
sent. But all will be good, blooming size bulbs. If you say, “‘Ship by express, 
charges collect,’’ we can give you a better deal, including extra count.) 
Sprekelia formosissima. Jacobean Lily. The Orchid-shaped Amaryllis. 
The gorgeous red flowers have long narrow petals. The three lowest rolled 
together to enclose the stamens and style and reflexed. This gives a somewhat 
orchid-like form. Flowers in spring later than Hippeastrums. Fine in pots. 
Recently we discovered a type that is new to us and we do not find it described 
or listed elsewhere. It is evergreen. The flowers are about twice as large as 
the ordinary type and a better color. Our field shows a good crop of flowers 
in late spring and a few flowers all the time, even in winter. It looks like 
Burbank’s Hybrid Martinique which I have seen and which was thought to be 
lost. Price, S. 35c. M. 50c. Extra large, 75c. 
Stenomesson variegatum. Summer growing. Strap shaped leaves, more 
narrow than Amaryllis. Glaucous green. The flowers, in umbels, are often 
pendulous. We have not seen the flowers, hence accurate description not pos- 
sible, but they are either red, golden or tawny. Said to be very unusual and 
attractive. Our plants easily survived 20° but our cold wet winters prevent 
ours from flowering, as authorities recommend bulbs in pots to be kept very 
dry over winter and above 45°. Recommended only to specialists and collec- 
tors. $7.50 ea. 
Sternbergia lutea. A small, yellow flowering, winter growing Amaryllid, 
often called ‘‘Fall Crocus.’’ Culture like others of this type. Plant 3” deep. 
Delivery in June. They should be planted in July or early August. 15c ea. 
Extra fine top size bulbs, 25c ea. 
Tulbaghia violacea. A close relative of Agapanthus, but small enough for 
5” pot. Flowers are mauve to Chinese violet in an umbel on 24” stems. Begins 
soon after planting and blooms almost continuously thru the year—winter and 
summer. 35c. ee 
Vallota purpurea. Blood red flowers, resembling those of a Clivia, in an 
umbel in late summer to early fall. Does very well in pots. Must have abun- 
dance of moisture when growing and when semi-dormant in winter only a 
little. Soil 1/3 rich loam, 1/3 sand, 1/3 leaf mould or peat, mildly acid. 
Then add a liberal amount of fine rotted manure. Small, cheap, dry bulbs have 
little value. We dig them only as ordered and ship with living roots attached. 
Even with this you will probably have no flowers until next year. Price $2.00. 
Our largest bulbs for $2.50. 
Zephyranthes. Fairy Lilies. The smallest and daintiest Amaryllids, 6” 
to a foot tall. Wonderful bedding or border plants. Free bloomers thru a long 
season. In the north they may be dug and stored though no doubt they would 
winter safely in milder sections if well mulched, or they may be grown in pots. 
They like acid soil, abundant moisture. Acidity can be increased by adding 
peat or leaf mould.
