Miscellaneous Irids i 
Marica gracilis. Walking Iris or Apostle Plant. Beautiful 2” flowers of white 
and blue with yellow and brown marking in center. The flowers are followed by 
a small plant. The leaf-like stem bends over and the plant takes roots, thus walk- 
ing away from the mother plant. Requires half shade and plenty of water. Of- 
ten grown and is nice in pots in north. 50c. 
M. coerulea grandiflora. Collected in Costa Rica. Leaves 2 or 3 ft. tall. Large 
flowers, lavender and white. Half shade, abundant moisture. Very rare. Maricas 
are hardy only in the far south. This species is very tender. $5.00. 
M. Northiana. Rare. Similar to Gracilis but larger plant and flowers. $1.50. 
LILY FAMILY. Liliaceae 
The Lily Family includes the true Lilies and their close relatives. 
Gloriosa. Climbing Lily. The flowers resemble true lilies but surpass most of 
them in their gorgeous beauty and high coloring. They propagate by tubers in- 
stead of bulbs. The stem is branching and heavy and must be supported. 
Culture. They must have sandy soil with leaf mould and peat added, acid 
(about pH 6.5), full sun or slight shade, plenty water, perfect drainage. We us- 
ually plant before Mar. 1., but sometimes as late as May. They need a long sea- 
son. Plant 4” deep. In the north they may be started early in pots and shifted. 
Gloriosa rothschildiana. It deserves the name, Glory Lily. Very vivid colors, 
red with yellow markings, turning later to deep red and then deep rose. 4 to 6 
ft. tall. Blooming size tubers, 3” to 5” long, 50c. 6 for $2.50. Large, extra large 
ae jumbo tubers make much larger plants and more flowers. Price 75c, $1.00 
and $1.50. 
G. superba. Very distinct species. Much taller. Smaller, but exquisite, flow- 
ers. Plant grows up to 12 ft. in length. $1.50. 
G. virescens. The finest of all. The flowers resemble G. rothschildiana with 
a shade in their favor. The plant has a stiffer and more erect stem and a stur. 
dier growth with more branches and thus more flowers. Price $1.50. Very large 
tubers, $2.50. 
Galtonia candicans Summer Hyacinth. Belongs in the group with Hyacinths 
and Scillas. 4 ft. seape with many white, bell shaped flowers. For landscape use 
in backgrounds and for cutting. Plant early, 4” deep in any good soil, Hardy in 
north if well protected, better to dig and store bulbs. 10c ea., 2 for 15c. 50c doz. 
Jumbo bulbs, 15c ea., $1.00 doz. 
OXALIS FAMILY. Oxalidaceae. 
No bulbs have increased more rapidly in public favor in recent years, This 
probably results from magazine and radio publicity, and their more frequent 
appearance in gardens or as house plants. Plants and flowers are variable in 
form and color and are most attractive and dainty. Culture. Plant in full sun ex- 
posure in any good soil. All make lovely pot plants and should be grown freely 
in the garden. The flowers open only in the sunlight. 
See the Fall Catalog for the winter growing types. The following are sum- 
mer growers.In the north they may be potted now. Start slowly. Do not over 
water. 
Oxalis Deppei. Four large leaflets. Deep rose pink flowers on a tall stem. A 
fine species. 4 for 15c. 35¢ doz. Extra large, 5c ea. 50c doz. 
O. Jasiandra. The prettiest summer Oxalis. Tall plant with 7-10 leaflets. Re- 
Sy carmine flowers. 5c ea. 6 for 25c. Jumbo bulbs, 10c. 75¢ doz. 
O. crassipes. Flowers bright rose. Evergreen and everblooming. Increases ty 
tubers and can be moved at any time, preferably in warm weathr. Plant at once. 
Large tubers, 25c ea. 
O. sp. unknown. This rather inconspicucus one is often listed as O. Deppei 
alba. It may be. That would make our O. Deppei, probably O. tetraphylla. Al- 
tho we do not care so much for this one, you may as it is a bloomer from Bloom- 
erville. 6 bulbs for 15c. 25c doz. Larger bulbs, 50c doz.
