A. Assorted Varieties. These are all of bloomnig size and some are large. 
We include in this mixture those that have lost the label, surplus sorts, ete. 
15c. $1.00 doz. 
Amarcrinum Howardii. A cross between Crinum moorei and Amaryllis 
belladonna. <A delicate pure sweet pink color. Increases wonderfully fast 
and blooms in all seasons even midwinter here. $1.00 ea. Extra large, 
$1.50 and $2.00. 
Amaryllis belladonna. Botanists have recently changed its name to Calli- 
core rosea. We must get accustomed to this new name. It has many common 
names—Surprise Lily, Naked Lady Lily, or better Lady Godiva Lily are de- 
scriptive of the fact that the flower stem shoots up, bursts into full bloom in 
only a few days—and is unclothed. by any leaves. The soft pink flowers in 
large umbels are of exquisite beauty and spicy, intriguing fragrance. Valuable 
for cutting. 
Culture. It is best to transplant in July but we have bulbs dug before 
blooming that can be held back until (possibly) Sept. 10. Order at once. Late 
orders will be filled with bulbs that have bloomed as they can be moved until 
foliage has begun to show. In the south plant in garden with top of bulbs a 
little below surface. Amaryllis are very hardy for this class and will recover 
easily from 12° of frost. They may be grown as far north as Washington, D. C. 
or Vancouver, B. C. 
They are not very successful as pot plants but will bloom the first year 
and one flower stalk is well worth the cost of the bulb. 
A. bellodonna major. Earliest, pure pink, 25c. Larger, 35c. Jumbo 
size, 50c. 
A. belladonna minor. White throat. Later flowering. 50c. 
A. belladonna, var. Ethel. This name is not intended to be permanent. 
We grew the seedling nearly 10 years ago, named it, and later decided it was 
too much like others to justify the name. It may be one of the scarce varieties 
from Europe or Australia. We will use this name only until identified. It is 
like minor in size, time of flowering, etc., but the color is a dark rose with 
white throat which turns rose. Very beautiful. $2.00 ea. 
Clivia. syn. Imantophyllum. Altho easy to grow and to flower by the 
amateur, they will always be classed with the aristocrats of flowering bulbs, 
because the flowers easily place them there. Also they increase so slowly by 
division that the chief method must be thru the freely produced seeds. But a 
Clivia requires at least five years and usually seven, to flower from seed. This 
time involves expense. They can never become very cheap. 
Clivias have evergreen, strap like foliage somewhat resembling that of 
Hippeastrums. 
The flowers are produced in umbels of 10 to 25, in rich and exquisite 
tones of orange, in March and April. When not in flower the deep rich green 
foliage and later the red fruits are most ornamental. 
_ Prices. Recently our prices have been reduced to one-half our original 
price of $5.00 each for Clivia hybrids. This reduction is below the recognized 
value of a good Clivia. We had too large an investment in Clivias and too 
much expense was required to keep them up, for the volume of sales. Not every- 
one will or can pay $5.00 for one plant. In. the spring we warned our custom- 
ers to expect an increase in price. We still have a very large stock, and we can 
put off the date of a considerable price increase a little longer. 
Clivia miniata hybrids. Foliage much like species miniata tho some are 
broader. Flowers wide open, erect and much like miniata except that the 
colors vary somewhat, while miniata has but one color. These plants are not 
labelled for color so we cannot give you a choice of color. A few are dark 
orange, others are white with border of light orange. The majority are soft 
orange toned pink of great beauty. Largest plants $3.50 ea. Large, $3.00 ea. 
Medium blooming size, $2.50. Other smaller sizes at 75c and $1.50 ea. 
C. nobilis hybrids. These are a fine European strain. The foliage is broad 
and blunt at apex. Flowers large and ranging in color from apricot orange to 
red orange. Price, large plants, $10.00 each. 
C. miniata, This is the more common species but it is an outstanding
