Miscellaneous Species

though it does not do so in California. 36 
inches. $1.00. 
CAROLINA. Native to U. S. and similar 
to Kimballiae. Flowers lilac with purple 
variegation. 30 inches. 50c.

ana Species, Purpurea and Fulva. Large 
purple flowers with chocolate shadings. 
4 feet. 5Cc. 
FOETIDISSIMA. Evergreen foliage, and 
grows equally well in sun or shade. Flow- 
ers bluish and variable, but this species is 
grown for the brilliantly colored seeds that 
it produces. Early in the Fall these seed 
pods burst open, exposing brilliant red 
seeds. If cut and dried these are very use- 
ful for flower arrangements. 50c.

water swamps in the interior of Florida. 
Flowers violet with a bright yellow crest. 
Tall, evergreen foliage. 40 inches. 50c.

Mississippi, resembling the Louisiana 
forms, but unlike them it is dormant in 
the Winter and will tolerate and even 
thrive in alkali soil. Pale Wisteria violet, 
veined darker with yellow crest. Wavy 
segments. 48 inches. 50c. 
VERNA. A very dwarf rock garden spe- 
cies from northeastern United States, re-

Ixia 
South African bulbs with numerous 
showy flowers on stiff, tall wiry stems and 
with tali, grassy foliage. The flowers close 
at night, but even when closed are decora- 
tive, and are greatly in demand for ar- 
rangements. Cultural requirements are the 
same as for Freesia or Gladiolus. For best 
results they should be planted close to- 
gether in groups of 12 or more. In warm 
sections they may be left in the ground 
for years. Delivery Sept. to Dec. 
BLOEM ERF. Recently introduced hy- 
brids quite different from other Ixias. 
Blooms in late Spring on stems 4 to 5 feet 
tall with 20 to 40 open flowers in a raceme 
at the top with several smaller flowering 
branches below. Color varies from pure 
white through shades of pink overlaid 
with a bluish tinge. $1.50. 
VIRIDIFLORA. This is at once the most 
beautiful and the rarest of the Ixias. Its 
striking feature is the color of the flowers, 
which is Beryl green, and is the only 
flower of this particular color in existence. 
Unfortunately it is not the easiest of the 
Ixias to grow and we are booking orders 
subject to crop conditions. $2.50 doz. 
MIXED. A grand mixture of about ten 
distinct named varieties that include a full 
range of colors. $1.00 doz.
