CHLIDANTHUS 
FRAGRANS. Sometimes called “The Delicate Lily.” 
The name undoubtedly refers to the clear, rich yellow 
flowers, which resemble a miniature Amaryllis. Very 
fragrant. Take up bulbs in fall and store in a root 
cellar. They are hardy south of Philadelphia. $1.45 
per 10; $12.00 per 100. 
DICENTRA 
SPECTABILIS. (Bleeding Heart.) A charming hardy 
perennial plant of most interesting structure. The leaves 
are a fine shade of green and have much decorative 
value due to their unusual pattern. Long racemes of 
graceful, heart-shaped pink flowers, inner petals which 
protrude are white. Excellent border plants as well as 
a wild garden addition where they lend beauty and 
charm. See illustration, page 27. Each, $0.75; $6.50 
for 10; $55.00 per 100. 
GALTONIA CANDICANS 
(Hyacinthus Candicans) 
The Cape Hyacinth is a valuable summer-flowering 
bulb with long, slender leaves and a candelabra-like 
arrangement of thirty or so pure white, bell-shaped 
blossoms borne on a scape from three to four feet tall. 
Distributed about the borders in groups or massed 
against shrubbery, they are very effective, giving lines 
of definition and strength to the riotous growth of sum- 
mer flowers. Planted with Gladioli, they form an im- 
posing contrast and last a long time in bloom. 
In every way they may be treated like Gladioli, but 
south of Philadelphia the bulbs may be left out-of-doors 
over the winter with a light covering and will increase 
and give better results every year. Extra selected bulbs, 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
ISMENE CALATHINA 
(Peruvian Daffodil) 
One of the best of our summer-flowering bulbs, bear- 
ing clusters of large, fragrant, lily-white flowers resem- 
bling an Amaryllis. Extra selected bulbs, $5.25 for 10; 
$50.00 per 100. 
LYCORIS SQUAMIGERA 
(Amaryllis Halli) 
A perfectly hardy bulb of the Amaryllis family. They 
produce attractive green foliage in the early spring, 
which later dies away. About a month later the flower 
stalks appear, growing about two feet high, and develop- 
ing an umbel of large, lily-shaped, delicate mauve-pink 
flowers. Dormant bulbs will be shipped in June. See 
illustration, page 38. Extra selected bulbs, $9.00 for 10; 
$85.00 per 100.

LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY 
No dweller in the country should be without a gen- 
erous bed of Lilies-of-the-Valley. In high and in lowly 
gardens these simple, fragrant flowers have ever been 
among the most welcomed of the year. The slender 
stems of frosted, scented bells hiding among the bright 
green leaves give refreshment for the mind and the 
spirit. 
The Lily-of-the-Valley is essentially a shade-loving 
plant. Beds should be given a northern or northwestern 
exposure if possible, and the most desirable soil is a 
rich, sandy loam. In planting, the clumps should be set 
about three inches apart and about two inches below 
the surface. A dressing of well-rotted manure and leaf 
mold in the autumn after the leaves have died down 
will insure more and finer flowers in the spring. 
Lily-of-the-Valley clumps, extra heavy stock for im- 
mediate effect, $8.00 for 10; $35.00 for 50; $68.00 
per 100. 
MILLA 
BIFLORA. A new introduction from Mexico, where it 
is known as “Estrellitas” or “Little Stars.” Showy white 
flowers, opening out flat, waxy in texture, about two 
inches in diameter, with six petals, not completely sep- 
arated. A faint stripe of soft apple green runs from tip 
to base on the outside of each petal. The stems are wiry, 
from twelve to eighteen inches in length, and bearing 
from two to seven flowers each. Very free-flowering. 
Flowers cut well and have a very pleasant, lily-like fra- 
grance. Extra selected bulbs, $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 
100. 
SC ri VAOSI ALIS 
(The New Pink “Kaffir Lily”) 
MRS. HEGARTY. Award of Merit. This startling nov- 
elty created great interest. The flowers are of clear pink, 
with no suspicion of magenta, but are of the pure, fresh 
color of the flowers of Begonia, “Gloria de Lorraine.” It 
is unmistakably one of the most beautiful and hardy flow- 
ers in autumn. The variety is strong-growing and free- 
flowering, and continues to send up spikes bearing well- 
expanded flowers until the arrival of frost. Flowering 
in late autumn, it is particularly useful to brighten up 
the border and tones with the fall foliage tints. Extra 
strong plants, $6.25 for 10; $60.00 per 100. 
SEREKELIA 
FORMOSISSIMA. (Jacobean Lily.) A species from 
Mexico where it is commonly known as the Mexican 
Fire Lily. The large flowers are fantastically beautiful, 
of glowing velvety crimson. Flowering in May and 
June, the Amaryllis-like foliage appears many times 
after the bloom has disappeared. This attractive orchid- 
like flower adds color and grace to the garden and is 
ideal for cutting. $2.15 for 10; $19.00 per 100.
