PARA (The Flowering Sansevieria). An 
excellent house plant that may be grown 
in a pot or hanging basket. In the latter 
case the long stolens hang straight down 
and form plants at the tips, making an 
unusually beautiful specimen. The flow- 
ers are freely produced and are very fra- 
grant. The foliage is bright green marbled 
darker, about 10 inches high. The flowers 
up to 18 inches high, white tinged pink.

but prefer a steady moderate moisture and 
protection from strong sunlight. Delivery 
any time. 50c.

in milder climates, blooming in late Sum- 
mer and Fall. May be lifted and potted in 
late Summer for wintering. Likes partial 
shade and plenty of moisture during the 
summer. Cuts well. Delivery any time.

bright green leaves 12 to 15 inches high 
and 2-foot spikes with 8 to 10 crimson- 
scarlet flowers 114 to 2 inches in diameter. 
Fine for cutting and very useful in the 
border, because it blooms when other pe- 
rennials are scarce. 25c; $2.00 doz. 
’ MRS. HEGERTY. Recent introduction 
from Ireland. Similar to COCCINEA in 
every respect except the color of the flow- 
:ers: These are a true, clear pink, a color 
that is seldom found in the garden in the 
Fall. 25c; $2.00 doz. 
Scilla 
Bulbs closely related to the Hyacinth and 
are ideally adapted for naturalizing in 
woodlands, or for planting in partially 
shaded locations. Excellent for cutting.

till after they are through blooming. Keep 
them dry after their foliage dies down in 
the Summer. They are Spring bloomers.

Summer sun in order to flower well. If it 
does not bloom dig the bulbs and let lay

PERUVIANA (Clusii). A native of Italy, 
Spain and Algeria. Fowers are produced

ers on a stem the flowering season is fairly 
long. They are hardy, except in the ex- 
treme cold sections, where they may be- 
grown in pots. Summer and Fall delivery.
