Streptanthera cuprea. Very much like Sparaxis but more orange. 7c ea. 
60c doz. 
Tritonia 
Tritonias are very close to Freesias. They are taller and flowers are 
larger. The culture is the same except that being larger a little more space is 
given. You can plant 214” apart in double row and 2%” deep. They may be 
grown in the house but also like Freesias they must have sun. 
Prince of Orange. Looks like a huge orange Freesia. 3 for 10c. 35c doz. 
$2.25 per 100. 
Ixia 
Ixias grow about 28” to 5’ tall. They have long, wiry stems and are nice 
for cutting. Altho the flowers close at night and on dark days, the long closed 
buds are nicely colored and are attractive either closed or open. 
Culture. Ixias are tender bulbs and in colder climates can be planted in 
the early spring. If planted in protected situations and well mulched in the 
fall the bulbs will survive most climates. 
In the north they may also be grown in a cold frame or in pots in the house 
or greenhouse. Give full sun. In mild climates in the south, plant early pref- 
erably. Although bulbs planted as late as January should flower well. 
Plant about like Freesias but allowing more room, 12 to the foot in a 
double row. Use no animal fertilizer, unless thoroughly rotted. 
Ixia Bloem Erf Hybrids. Quite distinct and different from ordinary sorts. 
Height 4’ to 5’. White to pink with lavender and bluish tones. Flowers do

late spring. 7c ea. 60c doz. 100 for $4.90. 
Mrs. Cleveland’s. Variety unknown; so labeled at present in memory of 
one who grew them. Color creamy white. When closed the flowers are like a 
long, slender ovoid, each creamy petal crimson striped thru the center. Lovely 
in bouquets or garden. Jumbo bulbs 6c ea. 50c doz. $3.50 per 100. Large 
bulbs 40c doz. $2.50 per 100.

and red tones. Very fine. 15c ea. $1.25 per doz. 
Lapeyrousia cruenta. Often called Red Ixia or Scarlet Freesia. They do 
not become as tall as Ixias. They have very nice, soft red flowers that do not 
close at night or on cloudy days. Culture like Ixias and Freesias. Easy in 
pots in sunny window. 5c ea. 35c doz. 
Babiana 
Related to Freesias, Tritonias, etc., but quite distinct in appearance.

Marica 
Marica gracilis. Walking Iris or Apostle Plant. Beautiful but fugitive 2” 
flowers of white and blue with yellow and brown markings in center. Sword 
shaped leaves are very ornamental. <A very nice pot plant in north and quite 
hardy in south. Very oddly, the flowers are followed by a small plant. The 
leaflike stem bends over and plants take root, thus ‘‘walking’’ away from 
mother plant. Requires nearly full shade, plenty water. Hardy only in far 
south. The usual price is 50c to $1.00. Special, 40c ea. 
M. coerulea grandiflora. The giant of this genus. Leaves 3’ or more in 
height. Large lavender and white flowers. Rare. This was collected for us 
in Costa Rica. Will survive only a few degrees of frost. Price, $5.00.

in the north but make very nice pot plants. Dietes can be grown in pots or
