largest grower of this variety in the United States. 
Lilies for the Greenhouse 
We are pleased to offer two distinct types of Lilies for this purpose. Lilium Floridi, which is 
grown for us by a very careful grower in Florida who has the largest stock of this variety in the 
United States, and L. Harrisi and L. Howardi which have been grown by the same grower for us in 
Bermuda for a long time. Both these Lilies are splendid for pot-plants for early spring and Easter 
decoration and are equally good when used as a cut-flower.

4 to 6 blooms of light blue, center marked 
white. Slightly fragrant. The culture used for 
freesias Is recommended. Not hardy.

LEUCOJUM estivum. Spring Snowflakes. 
American-grown. Similar to the snowdrop 
but of larger, stronger habit. In rich soil it 
grows to a height of 8 inches and produces, in 
late April, beautiful large white flowers, tipped 
with green, that are excellent for cutting. 
When once planted they take care of them- 
selves. Also do well in pots.

LYCORIS radiata. Like Squamigera, it is sum- 
mer-flowering but not hardy like Squamigera. 
It is, however, a beautiful and very easily 
grown bulb for the house, providing the 
planting is done in September. Grow it In 
a bowl with pebbles and water, or In a pot 
with some moist earth. A few weeks after 
planting, the flower-spikes appear as if by 
magic and the beautiful flowers last for several 
weeks. In the South the bulbs may be grown 
outside where they multiply rapidly. 
$1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100 
Squamigera (Amarvilis Halli). Produces, in 
early spring, attractive green foliage which 
grows until July when it ripens and disappears. 
About a month later, as if by magic, the 
flower-stalks spring from the ground to a 
height of 2 to 3 feet, developing an umbel of 
8 to 12 large, lily-shaped flowers of a delicate 
lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy; 
plant in the fall. Cover crown about 4 inches.
