A. pendulus. Entirely new and distinctly different species of greatest value. Flow- 
ers in shades of blue and purple in a great variety. Flowers long, tubular and pendulous 
when open. The umbel is smaller but most graceful. Like ‘“mooreanus minor” it is 
deciduous and should be ordered before April 1. $1.50. 
Amarcrinum Howardii. A bigeneric hybrid between Crinum moorei and Amaryllis 
belladonna. Flowers, pure pink, produced most any time of year. Almost sold out and 
can only offer a blooming size for $1.50 ea. 
Amaryllis belladonna. Name recently changed to Callicore rosea but present nomen- 
clature of the varieties has not yet been adapted to this. The popular names, Surprise 
Lily, Naked Lady Lily and Lady Godiva Lily are descriptive of the fact that the flower 
stem produces its exquisite umbel of pink flowers, unclothed by any foliage. The flowers 
have a rich, delicious and distinctive fragrance. A standard cut flower in the south. 
Culture. The bulbs bloom here from late July to about August 1, depending on 
variety and culture. To make them flower later withhold water. Later, foliage appears 
and grows all winter until about June 1. They should be dug and moved in July for 
best success. Unfortunately, it is customary to order these in the fall when they should 
be established and ready to flower. As a result, they usually flower soon after planting 
but may skip the next year. We ask you to order now or before June and we will deliver 
them at exactly the right time. 
Plant bulbs at once when received, preserving all roots. Top of bulb should be a 
little below surface, and deeper in colder sections. Amaryllis are semi-hardy and foliage 
frozen by a temperature of 15° to 20° easily recovers. With proper protection they may 
be grown as far north as Washington, D. C. or Vancouver, B. C. 
They are not very successful as pot plants but bulbs bloom the first year usually 
and one flower stalk is worth the price of a bulb. Planted in a bucket or tub and 
wintered in a basement window I believe they would succeed. They need water all 
winter, but a cool temperature. 
A. belladonna major. Earliest and largest. Pure pink. 35c. Large, 50c. Jumbo, 75c. 
A. belladonna minor. White throat, later flowering. 60c. 
A. belladonna, var. Ethel. This, our seedling, is probably only a good clon of the 
var. “rosea.” Dark rose, with white throat which turns rose. Late. Very beautiful. $2.00. 
Bravoa geminiflora. Mexican Twin Flower. Plant and bulb resembles Tuberose 
and is related. Twenty or more coral red flowers are “twinned” on a 20” stem. Culture 
like Tuberoses. 30c. Top size, 40c. 
Chlidanthus fragrans. Deep rich golden yellow flowers. Entrancing, spicy fragrance. 
Three or four flowers in an umbel on a 10” scape. Plant 3” deep, in full sun. M. 15¢.

Clivia. They rank with Orchids in the ambition of every flower lover to possess one. 
But unlike Orchids they are easy to grow. They have been rare and expensive because 
of their slow increase. Old plants make offsets, but too slowly, hence growers must plant 
seeds. These require 5 to 7 years to flower. By our culture methods, we have been able 
to increase them more rapidly and to reduce prices. 
The flowers are borne in a large umbel, often 20 or more, on a scape that lifts them 
above the foliage. The colors are in tones of orange, from orange yellow to red orange 
in the hybrids. Their beauty is unsurpassed. Decorative seed pods will follow the flowers 
and these remain a full year, turning red in late winter. The plant is decorative in all 
seasons. 
Culture. They are usually grown in pots, even in the south, as more perfect foliage 
is thus possible, and when in flower one wants them in the house. We grow them in a 
lath house, lath spaced %” apart and in garden under Avocado (evergreen) trees. They 
must have shade with only a few flecks of sunshine, but plenty of light and air.
