but on account of their very rapid increase we are glad to be able to offer these at a 
very low special price. 15c ea. 6 bulbs for 45c. 75c per doz. 100 bulbs for $5.00. 
N. filifolia. Deep pink variety. This sort has much deeper colored flowers, larger 
and on a longer scape. It also flowers later. In every way it is more lovely and 
desirable. Very rare. Only a few are at present available. As it multiplies very rapidly 
you will soon have a large clump. $1.00 ea. 
N. fothergilli hybrids. ‘These are exquisite Nerines and quite well adapted to pot 
culture. The colors range from deep red to various shades of pink, every flower being 
a masterpiece. $1.50 and $2.00 ea. 
N. massonorum. The earliest of our Nerines to flower, sometimes in mid-July. 
Evergreen with grassy foliage like N. filifolia. The flowers also resemble it, but are 
smaller and on a shorter scape. Rare but a good multiplier. $1.00 ea. 
N. rosea-crispa. Hybrid of Filifolia but has larger flowers on taller spikes. The 
leaves are wider and the plant can be either dried off thru summer or kept growing. 50c. 
N. undulata. Rose pink. Petals with crisped edges. $2.00. 
The species Undulata, Erubescens and Massonorum are of interest mostly to 
collectors. For decorative value choose the others. 
Pancratium maritimum. Very fragrant pure white flowers in shape like an Ismene. 
Bloom late summer to fall. Culture. Plant 4” 
deep in a sandy soil. Tender tropical bulbs. 20c. 
Largest, 25c. 
Sprekelia formosissima superba. We found 
this variety (described and named by Hayward in 
1938 Herbertia) in an old California Garden. 
The flowers are about twice as large as the com- 
mon type, a lighter and more pleasing red color. 
The foliage is evergreen and the flowers are so 
freely produced thruout the year that it almost 
deserves the title of an ever-bloomer. We call 
this the Orchid Amaryllis because of the orchid- 
like shape. Jumbo bulbs, 75c. M., 50c. S., 35c. 
Sternbergia lutea. A small yellow flowering, 
winter growing Amaryllid, often called “Fall 
Crocus.” Culture like others of this type. Plant 
3” deep. They are only a little short of winter 
hardy in the north and should succeed in pro- 
tected situations in warmer sections of the 
middle-south as far north as Philadelphia. They 
must be ordered before Sept. 10 as on that date 
SPREKELIA FORMOSISSIMA we expect to plant all on hand. Extra large 
SUPERBA Jumbo bulbs 50c ea. 
Tulbaghia violacea. A close relative of Agapanthus, but small enough to plant 3 
in a 5” pot. Flowers are mauve to Chinese violet in an umbel on 24” stems. Begins 
soon after planting and blooms almost continuously thru the year—winter and summer. 
Foliage has garlic odor when bruised. 35c. 3 for $1.00. 
The Alliae. This group is now placed in the Amaryllis family. Sandy loam is 
preferred. Do not add too much leaf mould and no peat as very acid soil is not so 
good. Plant about 2%” deep. The species Allium are onions and should be grown 
in full sun -unless noted. 

Allium flavum, var. pulchellum. One of the prettiest and most unusual of the 
ornamental onions. The 15” scapes carry an umbel of the loveliest lavender flowers. I 
have counted 135 flowers and buds in one umbel with more coming on. As these 
develop in succession thru a period of several weeks, with no disfiguring dry flowers
