pelow freezing. Probably safe to plant quite far up toward north. Plant 5” 
deep, full sun, It should be planted in every garden in the south and middle- 
south. On the coasts, north to Vancouver and N. Carolina. 25c ea. $2.50 doz. 
H. brachyandrum. Rare. Has a single-flowered umbel. Bright,deep, lavender 
pink. S., $1.00. L. $1.50. 
H. robustum. Sometmes, in error, listed as Zephyranthes. Has one large li- 
lac pink flower. 15c ea, $1.50 per doz. 
H. texanum. This name may not be correctly determined as we have two 
types. One has broader foliage and the flowers and shape of bulb differ slight, 
ly. Small plant, yellow flowers in mid-summer. State whether you want broad or 
narrow leafed type. Both for 45c. Price each, 25c. 
Hymenocallis. This genus includes the Spider Lilies and Ismene. The Ismene 
is deservedly one of our most popular bulbs but few know that new improved 
forms and hybrids have been produced. The almost ethereal beauty and the fra- 
grance of Spider Lilies is known by few. 
Culture. Hymenocallis are hardy in southern gardens where temperatures 
dc not go lower than perhaps 15° above. All do exceedingly well in pots or tubs. 
Both Spider Lilies and Ismene in the north may be grown outside in the summer 
and dug and stored in winter, the Gladiolus method. Glads themselves are tropi- 
cal and no more suited for the north than these. The Ismene is even grown com- 
fae owe in the north. Plant Ismene 4” deep, 6” apart. Smaller species not so 
eep 
Hymenocallis calathina. The Ismene or Peruvian Daffodil. Large white flow- 
ers, eae green with daffodil-like cup. Very fragrant. Jumbo size, 35c. Large 
2be. Me 15¢. 
H. calathina minor. A very tiny Ismene not one-fourth as large as the type. 
Of interest at least to collectors, and useful in small arrangements. This name 
1s cur own for a plant sent to us by a collector. 60c ea. 
H. calathina “Advance”. 2’ tall. Larger, whiter and more flowers. $1.00 ea. 
The next four varieties are rare Ismene hybrids. 
H. festalis. H. calathina x Elisena longipetala hybrid. A more graceful form 
and pure white. Exquisite. $2.00. 
H. festalis Triumph. A further improvement, with immense flowers. $2.00. 
H. Olympia. The largest of all Ismenes. A creamy white. $4.00. 
H. Sulphur Queen. H. calathina x amacaes. The yellow Ismene. $1.50. 
H, species No. 1. A small Spider Lily easy to grow in the south. In the north 
it is grown by the gladiolus method. Blooms more freely after large clumps are 
made. Plant close. Bulbs bloom easily in pots. 15¢ Special. We have a surplus of 
these rapid multiplying bulbs and will share them with thcse who appreciate. 
75¢e per doz. 100 for $2.50. Clump for potting, 25c. If you will pay express on 
160 bulbs we will include many offsets and clumps. 
H. species No. 2. Tropical Spider Lily. One of the best tropical species. Flow- 
ers large in a many flowered umbel. Fragrant and very beautiful. Will endure 
temperature of 20°, probably lower. Blooms well in pots or tubs. Can be dug and 
stcred in north. 50c. 
Leucojum aestivum. Quite hardy in north. Blooms early, often before snow 
is gone. Dainty white flowers, each petal tipped with a green dot. 10c. Per doz. 
50e. . 
L. sp. unknown. Probably two species mixed. They have much larger bells 
and 5 to 7 in each umbel. Our best species. 20c ea. $2.00 per doz. 
Lycoris. Fall blooming amaryllid. Hardy well up into middle south. Radiata 
and Aurea do not lose their foliage at 20°, and might stand lower without in- 
jury. L. squamigera and L. incarnata are quite hardy in the north. 
Lycoris incarnata. Flesh colored flowers with reddish markings. $2.50. 
L. radiata. Red Spider Lily. Very popular in the south where it is often 
called Guernsey Lily. But the true Guernsey Lily is Nerine sariensis, a bulb ex- 
tremely rare in America. This is one of the south’s very best bulbs. A bed of them 
in bloom will catch and hold the attention in any competition by other flowers, 
Large umbels on 12” stem of the most vivid coral red flowers with long undulat- 
ed and reflexed petals and very long stamens. One of the easiest to grow. Hardy
