BOWIEA VOLUBILIS—ek(w) (9). Most 
eurious of bulbs, sending up slender, suc- 
culent, green-translucent stems, in alto- 
gether leafless much-branched tangles. 
May be grown in garden, being dug in 
autumn and stored over winter in a 
frost-proof place, but it is most often 
handled as a pot bulb. Botanically this 
is Schizobasopsis. Pkt. 15c. (Bulbs, 
November to May, each 35c.) 
BRUNSBELLA HYBRIDS—Lovely flow: 
ers of the Amaryllis group, blooming in 
late summer. Quite variable, the color 
may be anything from pale pink to deer 
rose, the height anywhere between 18 
and 30 inches. ‘These are Brunsdonna 
Hybrids, recrossed with Amaryllis Bella- 
donna, same waxen trumpet blossoms ag 
the dominant parent, same cultural needs 
and uses. Flowers, however, are larger 
than in Amaryllis Belladonna, and open 
at once around the full circle, instead 
of all pointing one way. Illustrated this 
page. Seeds, 6 for 20c; 35 for $1.00. 
CALADIUM FANCY-LEAVED—Exceedingly showy foliage 
plants, leaves as brightly and variously colored as any 
flower might be. There will be rose, deep crimson, bronze, 
purple, translucent cream, vivid emerald green, applied in 
zonings, patchings, splashings and margins. Valued for the 
summer garden, for bedding, or may be grown under glass. 
Give plenty of moisture. Tubers only, spring delivery, fine 
mixture, each 30c; 3 for 85c; 10 for $2.50. 
CHLIDANTHUS FRAGRANS—One of the Fairy Lilies. 
Slender trumpet-flowers of golden waxiness in rather early 
spring. There is an alluring fragrance. Dig and store in 
winter. From the lower Andes. Bulbs only, March to June. 
4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00. 
THE CALLA LILIES (Zantedeschias) 
They make splendid winter-blooming pot plants, or they 
can be handled to flower in the garden in summer, where 
they will give most unusual, and attractive, decorative ef- 
fects. Don’t, though, try both seasons in succession with 
the same tubers. They won’t work both winter and summer, 
you will have to choose the season that you want. During 
the ‘off’ season, let roots rest in a:cool cellar in dormant 
or semi-dormant condition. Note that the Black Calla, 
which is distinct botanically, will please best if handled only 
for winter pot-growing. Jllustrated page 15.

CALOCHORTUS or BUTTERFLY TULIP 
Though Calochortus is not a Tulip at all, quite certainly 
not a Butterfly, it is yet a gloriously beautiful thing. The 
bulbs grow readily from seeds, given “‘y’ treatment, (see 
page one), and while one must wait to reach flowering size, 
growing the bulbs from seed is an easy way to get them 
in quantity at low cost. Mulch the bulbs well with straw 
or litter in late autumn, and they will winter through 
safely, at least, they do with us. Calochorti vary exceed- 
ingly in form and color of blossoming. There will be downy 
stars, fairy lanterns, and then great butterflies of flowers 
three to four inches across, in hues of the rainbow; banded 
blotched, ‘embossed in colors and tones contrasting. Pink, 
rose, lilac, lavender, cream, citron, rich yellow, even orange 
scarlet, will appear. If you want in your garden, something 
different, yet strikingly beautiful, then plant Calochortus.

CANARINA CAMPANULA—x(w) (6-7)40. An unusual, and 
charming, tuberous-rooted Bell-flower from the Canaries. 
The blossons are shaped more or less like those of Canterbury 
Bell, but larger, carried individually, petals succulent and 
crispy, and with colorings that no other Bell-flower can 
show, golden orange with shadings and suffusions of violet. 
North it must be handled under glass, since it does not 
start flowering until late October, continuing then pretty 
much through the winter, the rest season being late spring 
and early summer. Once you get a start of it, you may 
increase your stock by division of the dormant tubers.
