MIGONETTE—Rather curly fine petals resémbling a thistle bloom in 
form. Color bright yellow. 
MISS GENA HARWOOD—Another sport from Rayonnante. Color is 
rosy mauve. Blooms Nov. 5th. 
SIPPER—A shell pink of the quilled type, but with me fades to nearly 
white. May be grown disbud or spray. When disbudded blooms 
are about 3 inches in diameter; As a cluster blooms are smaller 
and a week later. Strong grower. Matures last week of October. 
ORCHID SPOON —A lilac pink, double 3 inch flower. Grows 2 feet. 
In bloom by mid-October, but with me shades to a light pink. 
ROSE SPOON—A deeper shade, that with me holds its color well under 
our long hot summer sun. Matures mid-October. 
JASPER SPOON—An unusual spoon variety—petals light yellow to- 
wards the center of the flower and brick red at the ends, giving 
a unique effect. Blooms 2% inches and semi-double. Short, but 
erect growth. In bloom by mid-October. 
CASCADES 
These are, as stated in the preface, the mountain types. originating 
in Japan. The flowers are small, dainty and may be trained to present 
a “cascade” effect at blooming time. However, special cultural direc- 
tions are helpful to obtain this effect, and such directions will be in- 
cluded in each order that has any cascade varieties in it. If you want 
a riot of color in your garden this fall and do not intend to do much 
gardening when the summer sun is hot, just place several clumps (about 
three plants to a clump) at desirable points in your garden, provide 
some support and tie the plants to it from time to time as required, and 
this fall each clump will be a mound of color that will many times re- 
pay you for your effort. You may have these in several colors and two- 
color effects at 15 cents each or $1.50 per dozen. 
SEEDLINGS 
I have a number of seedlings—usually singles and cascades, that I 
like and if you wish a few of these included with your order—just for 
you to “play” with to see what they will produce, why just so state on 
your order and I will gladly include some gratis. They will not perla- 
beled, but if you like to handle flowers you will get lots of fun in just 
seeing what they will produce. 
RED SPIDER LILY BULBS 
While the chrysanthemum is my true love, I have become quite 
fond of the Red Spider Lily and have added that bulb to my list. They 
are often listed as the Guernsey Lily and for many years were classed 
by the botanist as Nerine Sariensis, but lately the learned botanists put 
their heads together and decided they were wrong in their classification 
and that the correct name should be Lycoris, Radiata. Anyway, it is one 
of the prettiest lilies I have ever seen, and as the bloom (watermelon 
red) appears in late summer each year on a flower spik from 12 to 18 
inches tall and before a sign of foliage appears, makes it a most inter- 
esting as well as regal member of the lily family. It is easy to handle— 
in fact just the past year I noticed a prominent florist advertising them 
and recommending that they be grown in water and pebbles, just as 
you do Narcissus bulb. I tried six bulbs in a glass bowl and was so 
pleased with the results I obtained in late September that I have pre- 
pared a little mimeographed leaflet and will send a copy on request. If 
you have never grown them try a few and vou would not be without 
them. They are $1.25 per dozen delivered, but can not be shipped with 
mum plants, as the bulbs can not be shipped until the foliage dies down. 
—usually about the middle of May.
