ing several pounds, $3.50. 
C. Ellen Bousanquet. Most outstanding. It is most surprising to see a Cri- 
num with such dark, glowing wine red flowers. Very vigorous and easy. Jumbo, 
$1.50. Large, $1.00. Medium, 60c. 
Ne si: erubescens. Milk and Wine type. The center stripe is red-purple. 50c. Jum- 
bo, $1.00. 
~ C. Gordon Wayne. (Our 1988 introduction.) Large pure white flowers. A 
seedling of Virginia Lee and thus is probably the first third-generation hybrid. 
Price $6.00. 
C. H.J. Elwes. Pink flowers of unusual beauty. $2.50. 
C. kirkii. One of the most desirable of “Milk and Wine” type. White flowers 
with red center stripe. The large umbels have many flowers open at one time. 
75c ea. Per doz. $7.00. Jumbo bulbs, $1.25. 
C. longfolia alba. (Syn. Capense alba). White lily-shaped flowers. This is 
the hardiest species, surviving the winters with protection if planted deep, as 
far north as Ohio. Better than “rosea.” 50c. $4.00 per doz. 
C. longifolia rosea. Pink flowered form. 60c. 
._C, Louis Bousanquet. Very free flowering thru an unusually long season. 
Pink flowers on a very tall, erect peduncle. $1.00. 
C. moorei. Large pink, bell-shaped flowers in the fall, freely produced. The 
long neck of the bulb surmounted by rotated leaves give the plant great decor- 
An value. Requires shade. Nearly as hardy as longifolia. 50c Jumbo bulbs, 
.00. 
C. powelli alba, Extra fine pure white. One of the most valuable and beau- 
tiful Crinums. 50c ea. Per doz. $4.00. 25 for $7.50. Jumbo $1.00 ea. 
C. Virginia Lee. (Our 1934 introduction.) Large pink flowers with white 
throat. A second generation hybrid produced by the cross Cecil Houdyshel x J. 
C. Harvey but reverting in many characters to its ancestor on both sides, C. 
moorei, in its necessity for shade, heavy seed production and mid-summer loss 
of foliage. These characters are also shared by its seedlings, Gordon Wayne and 
many not named. Price $2.50. 
Cyrtanthus, Close to Zephyranthes, but tender, Long tubular flowers in um- 
bels from December to March, For the garden in the south. Nice pot plants in 
the north. We have some doubt about whether bulbs moved in Jan. or later will 
flower this winter. Give them a rich soil and feed well. Under good care they 
are usually evergreen. Full sun. 
Cyrtanthus augustifolius. Orange red flowers. 75ce. 
C. lutescens. Bright yellow flowers. 25c. 
C. mackenni. Ivory white flowers. 25c. 
Elisena longipetala. Rare Peruvian amaryllid. Bulb and plant much like Is- 
mene and culture the same, The flowers are more dainty and attractive. Pure 
white with long, narrow petals, giving a most graceful form. $4.00. 
Haemanthus. Blood Lily. I must admit a great love for this genus. Not only 
beeause of their rarity, but because of the unusual and distinctive beauty and 
their great diversity in form and growth habits. 
Culture. They should be grown in pots except in climates like Florida and 
So. Calif. The soil should be equal parts of loam, coarse sand and peat or leaf 
mould made thoroly fine. Drainage should be perfect. A tablespoonful of bone 
meal to each plant is useful. The species listed here require cool shade, little 
sun, but light. An abundance of water at all times when growing is required 
but rather on dry side during late winter dormancy. But not bone dry. When 
bulbs are received pot at once and water. Do not water much before growth 
starts. Altho a little warmth favors earlier growth and flowers it may be easily 
overdone. They grow in cool deep forest glades in the tropics. 
Haemanthus Katherinae. The bright red flowers fill a large rounded umbel 
often 10” or more in diameter. I have counted nearly 125 in an umbel, the broad 
banana-like foliage droops gracefully into an umbrella form. Scarlet seeds fol- 
low the flowers. A plant in flower is an unforgetable sight of tropic beauty. The 
entire plant is of quite large proportions, the foliage and flower umbel reach- 
ing a height of 80” to 36”. Introduced from Natal in 1877 they are yet rare.
