Pallasi (Tataricum) Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 
One of the last of

the small “‘spring’’ bulbs to flower. Supply very limited.

Leucojum - Snowflake 
Aestivum (Summer Snowflake) Doz. $1.30, 100 $8.75 
A very handsome, hardy, robust growing plant, producing spikes of 
elegant drooping white flowers in May. Greatly prized for cutting, on 
stems about 14 to 18 inches high. Same culture as for Narcissi. 
Vernum (Spring Snowflake) Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 
This is one of the earliest and most attractive spring flowers. Growing 
from 6 to 8 inches high they bear dainty nodding flowers which are 
white, tipped with green. Plant in early fall in a good, light, well- 
drained soil 4 or 5 inches apart in masses or bold clumps, 2 inches deep. 
If left alone will bloom year after year. 
Lachenalia 
These bulbs are especially useful for forcing as they can be grown in 
flats or in pots. Do well out-of-doors in milder climates and are showy in 
beds, borders, and rock gardens. They have from one to two dozen gen- 
era!ly pendulous, fire-cracker-like flowers, three-quarters to one inch in 
length on stems six to nine inches and bloom from late November to Feb- 
ruary, depending on the time of planting and the temperature in which 
they are grown. 
Cultural directions: Same as Freesias. May be had in bloom at Christmas. 
Bulbs multiply freely and may be used from year to year. 
Pendula superba Doz. $2.25, 100 $14.00 
Flowers brilliant coral-red tipped green and purple. Two or three Tulip- 
like green leaves. One of the best and earliest. Excellent for indoor 
growing. Easily in bloom by Christmas. 
Leucocoryne : Glory-of-the-Sun 
Ixioides odorata Doz. $1.65, 100 $11.50 
Flowers exquisite light blue on tall, wiry stems and of very long-lasting 
quality, with faint heliotrope fragrance; for greenhouse culture or out- 
doors in warm states. March and April flowering. Unquestionably one 
of the loveliest new bulbs introduced. We predict it to be as much used 
as Freesias as soon as the price permits its free planting. 

Lycoris 
RADIATA, like Squamigera, is a summer-flowering variety, 
but it is mot hardy like Squamigera. It is, however, a beautiful 
and very easily grown bulb for the house, providing the planting 
is done in August or very early 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. 
The flowers last for several weeks and are as handsome as 
orchids. In the South the bulbs may eb grown outside where 
they multiply rapidly. We positively do not guarantee these 
bulbs to bloom if planted later than September 10th. The bulbs 
are sent in early August. (Color illustration, page 24.) 
Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.00 
Squamigera (Amaryllis Halli) Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
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 large, Lily-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, 
of a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy; must be 
planted in fall. Cover crown about 4 inches, 
Ornithogalum 
Very easily grown bulbs, especially Umbellatum, which multiplies rapidly 
under any conditions. 
Arabicum Doz. $1.05, 100 $7.25 
Makes a large umbel of small white flowers with black base, produced 
on a tall spike. Hardy and very prolific in the extreme South but must 
be protected or forced in the North. 
Aureum Doz. $1.65, 100 $11.50 
It is a splendid pot plant for growing indoors during the winter months, 
carrying its large cupped, brilliant gold flowers in clusters supported on 
stems 12 inches high. Requires a cool, well-lighted position and a pot 
or pan of it gives a magnificent long-lasting effect. Flowers last 3 to 
4 weeks. 
Thyrsoides flore pleno Doz. $1.25, 100 $8.25 
The double form we now offer is much more desirable than the single- 
flowered variety. The fine double white flowers remind one of the Pearl 
Tluberose, lasting weeks on end. Fine cut flower, 24 to 36 inches. 
Umbellatum (Star of Bethlehem) Doz. $1.00, 100 $6.75 
This is the small white hardy variety that is seen in great profusion 
around many of the old gardens. It propagates readily and adapts itself 
splendidly to naturalizing. It does well over a wide temperature range 
and blooms profusely each season with little or no care.
