growing and withhold water when dormant. z 
Delivery is made as soon as dormant. N. Bowdenii now. Some as late as June but 
N. filifolia any time. 
N. Bowdenni. Ten or more large rose pink flowers in an umbel. Should be 
ordered at once as the bulbs are dormant only a short time. $1.00. 
N. Bowdenii, var. Pink Beauty. Much larger. Blooms later and is the largest and 
most exquisite of Nerines. Very rare, but a good multiplier and you can soon have a 
clump from one bulb. $6.00. 
N. filifolia. Very dainty and exquisite pink flowers. Evergreen foliage. Rapid 
multiplier. They must be crowded to flower well. Three for 25c. 12 bulbs, enough 
for a 6” pot, goc. 
N. fothergilli hybrids. Assorted colors from the deep red of its seed parent to vari- 
ous shades of pink. To my chagrin I thought these were all the red “fothergilli’” and 
listed as such. Bulbs sold may be returned if desired. $1.50 ea. 
N. rosea crispa. A hybrid with larger flowers like N. filifolia. Blooms later and 
by keeping them dry the flowers may be had in mid-winter. 30c. Extra large, 50c.

Spreckelia formosissima superba. The Orchid 
Amaryllis. Crimson flowers of orchid-like form. 
The flowers are twice as large as the common 
type and the color better and much more freely

trum hybrid and may be Burbank’s long lost 
hybrid “Martinique.” 
An extra fine pot bulb as it is a good winter 
bloomer. Culture same as Hippeastrums. Jumbo 
bulbs;75c. Ei 50c.. = Merasc.

yellow Amaryllid often called “Fall Crocus.” 
Most desirable. Hardy in middle south. Culture.
