Cooperia 
Rain Lily 
PEDUNCULATA. These are closely al- 
lied to Zephanthes. They have very fra- 
grant, night blooming flowers that stay 
partially open throughout the day. In the 
colder sections they may be treated like 
gladiolus, being stored in a cellar during 
the winter and planted out again in the 
spring. If planted where they can be dried 
out, they will bloom soon after watering 
and may be induced to bloom two or three 
times during the season by alternate water- 
ing and drying. Delivery throughout the 
year. 15 inches. 35c each. 
Costus

as a greenhouse plant, but thrives well 
outdoors in Florida and Southern Califor- 
nia. It has long cane-like stems with waxy 
succulent foliage growing spirally. Orange 
flowers. Will eventually grow to a height 
of four feet if planted in a shady spot. 
Plants $1.00; rooted cuttings, 25c each. 
Crinum 
Tropical plants belonging to the Ama- 
ryllis family, with evergreen foliage and 
large bulbs. They soon establish them- 
selves in any soil and make huge clumps. 
In colder sections of the country they may 
be grown in tubs or large pots. Plant with 
half the bulb above the ground. Delivery 
throughout the year. 
ASIATICUM. Bears fragrant spidery 
flowers in large umbels over a long pe- 
riod. The foliage is upright and nearly 
resembles a Century Plant. The bulbs 
eventually become very large and heavy, 
weighing up to 50 pounds. They are slow 
to propagate, as they do not form offsets 
freely. Small bulbs, $3.50 each.

stant supply of moisture with good drain-
