to North Carolina. 25c ea, Jumbo size 35c ea. 
L. squamigera. The famous Amaryllis Halli. The flower umbel without foli- 
age resembles Amaryllis belladonna. Color, lilac pink. Plant 4” deep and mulch 
in the north. Every northern garden should have them. $1.00. ea. $10.00 per doz. 
Nerine. One of the most beautiful of the Amaryllids but few know them. 
There are, or were good stocks in Europe, but very few in America. They are au- 
tumn flowering, beginning here with N. filifolia in September to October. N. 
Bowdenii in October to December. All our species, except Filifolia, proved hardy 
here when we had two weeks of temperature down to 20° and ice 1” thick, With 
deeper planting and in a protected place they would probably survive 16°. 
Nerines like sandy loam containing much leaf mould. We add peat as they pre- 
fer and acid soil. We plant in full sun. Most species except N. filifolia and Bow- 
denii (which grows all summer) will become dormant about June and should re- 
ceive no water until August. N. rosea crispa, a Filifolia hybrid, may be treated 
either way. 
They are ideal pot bulbs. Three bulbs may be planted in a 5” to 7” pot and 
remain undisturbed for years. They resent being disturbed and if roots are lost, 
they seldom flower the first year. They bloom and grow better when pot-bound. 
Give plenty of water when growing and occasionally liquid manure. Get 
the best possible growth. When tops begin to yellow gradually reduce water. 
When dormant, they should remain in the full sun but receive no water. 
Nerine Bowdenii. About 10 or more large rose pink flowers in an umbel 9” 
across on a 15’’—18” stem or scape. One of the most choice and very easy to 
g.cow. This species is an exception in the culture requirements of Nerines. As it 
is almost evergreen it can be kept growing all summer. They may be dried off 
a little after flowering but need no long dormant period. $1.00 and $1.50 ea. 
Nerine Bowdenii, Pink Beauty. Larger and finer than Bowdenii. Grows lux- 
uriantly and increases rapidly. One of our choicest bulbs. $5.00. 
N. erubescens. Tall umbel of carmine pink flowers, $1.25 ea. 
N. filifolia. A lovely little Nerine with evergreen, grass like foliage. The 
carmine pink flowers on a 12” stem are fine for cuttting. Plant a dozen bulbs in 
a 5” pot as they flower better when crowded. The earliest, Sept. bloomer. Not 
because they are of little value but on account of their very rapid increase we 
are gled to be able to offer these at a very low special price. 15c ea. 6 bulbs for 
45c. 75¢c per doz. 100 bulbs for $5.00. 
N. fothergilli hybrids. Colors from the 
deep red of Fothergilli to various pink 
tones, all especially fine. $1.50 ea. 
N. rosea crispa. Hybrid of Filifolia, 
but larger flowers on taller spikes. 35c ea. 
Extra large, 50c. 
N. undulata. Rose pink. Edges of pet- 
als elegantly waved or crisped. $1.25. 
Pancratium maritimum. Fragrant white 
flowers, resembling Ismene, in late summer. 
Easy culture, plant 4” deep. 15c. 
Polianthes tuberosa. Tuberose. Pure 
waxy white flowers on a 24” spike. Spicy 
fragrance. They perfume the entire neigh- 
borhood. Culture like glads. Plant 4” deep 
in full sun. Assorted varieties, single, double 
and variegated leaf. 75c doz. 
Sprekelia formosissima superba. The 
Orchid Amaryllis. Crimson flowers of orchid 
like form. The flowers are twice as large as 
the common type and the color better and 
much more freely produced. It is probably 
a Sprekelia-Hippeastrum hybrid and may be 
SPREKELIA FORMOSISSIMA Burbank’s long lost hybrid ‘‘Martinique.”
