NERINE BOWDENI 
NERINE 
Bowdeni—tThis is a true Nerine and not to be confused with 
the Lycoris Radiata or red spider lily. The true Nerine has 
orchid-like blossoms of pink striped rose borne on stems 12 to 
15 inches in umbels of 7 to 10 flowers per stem. They bloom 
in the Fall. Foliage in Winter and Spring only. Delivery will 
be made late this Winter when foliage has ripened and they 
should bloom this Fall if planted at proper delivery time. 
Offered for the first time at the low price of 85c each, $8.50 
per dozen. Postage 10c, 25c dozen. 
Clivia 
A miniature Amaryllis-like flower in clusters of brilliant 
orange salmon. Grown from root divisions it soon multiplies 
and grows into a fine clump. Prefers semi-shade and where 
well established may bloom at any time of the year. Large, 
ready to bloom divisions. Each, $1.75. Postage, 25c. 
MILLA BIFLORA 
Recent introduction from Mexico where it is called Estrel- 
litah, or Little Stars, by the country people. Snowy white flow- 
ers, opening out flat, waxy in texture, about two inches in 
diameter, with six petals not quite separated. A faint stripe 
of soft apple green runs from tip to base on the outside of 
each petal. The stems are wiry, 12 to 18 inches tall, bearing 
two to seven flowers each. Foliage inconspicuous. Very free 
blooming from July to September. Flowers cut well and have 
a pleasant lily-like fragrance. Most attractive both in arrange- 
ments and in the garden. The striking hexagonal shape of bud 
and flower and the regular striping lend a faintly modernistic 
note that is both attractive and unusual. Should be dug in 
winter except in milder climates. Price 10c each; $1.00 per 
dozen; postage 10c.
