Hedychium Gardnerianum 
PUNICEUS (Wavy Leaved Haemanthus). 
This plant is lovely and is an ideal subject 
for pot culture, as the bulb produces num- 
erous sideshoots, filling the pot with at- 
tractive, nearly evergreen foliage. The 
flowers, which are produced over a very 
long season, are small compared with the 
other species, about 3 inches in diameter 
and salmon in color, and held on mottled 
12-inch stem. The most attractive feature 
of this species is the nest of brilliant red 
berries, each about one-half inch in diam- 
eter and forming a cluster about 3 inches 
across, lasting several weeks. Easy to grow 
even under neglect and a find as a house 
plant. Delivery throughout the year. $3.50 
each and up. 
Hedychium 
Ginger Lily 
Tropical plants that are highly ornamen- 
tal both in flower and foliage. For green- 
house culture plant in large pots in rich 
soil and keep constantly wet. In warm sec- 
tions plant outdoors in partial shade. 
When grown in the open they need to be 
well established before they start to flow- 
er. The flowers are produced on terminal 
heads and are very fragrant. They last 
well when cut. Delivery any time. 
COCCINEA. We have this plant, but 
have never been able to flower it. The 
foliage is very beautiful and plant grows 
in very compact, well rounded form. We 
recommend it as a good foliage plant, al- 
23 
though you might be able to have better 
luck with the flowers than we have had. 
50c each.

pure white, large, and resemble butterflies 
in shape. Increases rapidly. 5 foot. 50c.

but with light yellow flowers. Robust 
grower, up to 7 feet high. $1.50 each. 
GARDNERIANUM. Larger in all its 
parts from Coronarium. Flowers in large 
clusters. The color is dark yellow with 
orange markings and the bright red fila- 
ments projecting beyond the segments give 
it a spidery appearance. 5 to 7 ft. $1.00.
