Rohdea Japonica 
A highly ornamental foliage plant well 
suited for pot culture and useful as a 
house plant. The leaves are 3 inches wide 
and 12 to 18 inches long, growing from an 
Iris-like rhizome. The white inconspicu- 
ous flowers are followed by clusters of 
large, bright red berries which are held 
for a few months. These plants come 
from China and Japan, where they are 
highly prized. Give them the same culture 
as you would any house plant. In warm 
sections they may be planted in a shady 
location in the open. We have several 
varieties, but have not been able to iden- 
tify their names, but will list them accord- 
ing to the markings of the leaf.

Schizostylis 
Kaffir Lily from South Africa. Rhizo- 
matous roots. Not hardy but soon makes 
fine clumps in milder climates, blooming 
in late summer and fall. May be lifted and 
potted in late summer and, by retarding, 
flowers may be had over a long period. 
Likes partial shade and plenty of moisture 
during the summer. Cuts well. Delivery 
February to May. 
COCCINEA. A handsome plant with 
bright green leaves 15 to 20 inches high 
and 2 ft. spikes with 8 to 10 crimson- 
scarlet flowers 114 to 2 inches in diameter. 
Fine for cutting and very useful in the 
border because it blooms when other pe- 
rennials are scarce. 20c. 
MRS. HEGERTY. Recent introduction 
from Ireland. Similar to COCCINEA in 
every respect except the color of the flow- 
ers. These are a true, clear pink, a color 
that is seldom found in the garden in the 
fall. 20c.

Scilla 
Bulbs closely related to the Hyacinth 
and are ideally adapted for naturalizing in 
woodlands, or for planting in partially 
shaded locations. Excellent for cutting. 
Plant about 3 inches deep and water well 
till after they are through blooming. Keep 
them dry after their foliage dies down in 
the summer. They are spring bloomers. 
Delivery Sept. to Jan. 
HYACINTHIOIDES. This is the variety 
we have been listing as ITALICA, but the 
true identity has now been established. 
Purplish blue flowers on 3 ft. stems. It 
must have a very thorough baking in the 
summer sun in order to flower well. If 
it does not bloom dig the bulbs and let 
lay in the sun several days. 25c. 
PERUVIANA (Clusii). A native of Italy, 
Spain and Algeria. Flowers are produced 
in dense heads 6 to 10 inches across on a 
12-inch stem. Individual flowers are about 
an inch across and as there are over 100 
flowers on a stem the flowering season is 
fairly long. They are hardy, except in the 
extreme cold sections, where they may be 
grown in pots. Summer and fall delivery. 
We offer two selected colors: Purple and 
while, 25c. Mixture of many colors, $2.00 
Oz.
