Habranthus 
BRACHYANDRUS. An extremely beau- 
tiful Amaryllid, allied to the Zephryanthes. 
Long, tubular flower resembling Zephy- 
ranthes Robusta, but twice as large, on 15- 
inch stem. The color is most unusual, be- 
ing lavender pink gradually shading down 
to deep purple at the base. Culture same 
as for Zephyranthes. Delivery throughout 
the year. 75c each. 
ADVENUM. See Hippeastrum advenum. 
ROBUSTA. See Zephyranthes robusta. 
Haemanthus 
Blood Lily 
COCCINEUS. A very unusual Amaryllis 
that is always unique. The pair of succu- 
lent leaves are about two feet long and 
four inches wide and lie flat on the ground, 
attracting immediate attention because of 
their unusual appearance. The leaves die 
down in early Summer. The flower scape 
rises from the dormant bulb in September 
and is heavily and attractively mottled 
with purple and red. The flowers are pro- 
duced in an umbel four inches across and 
are blood red, followed by green berries 
which turn red upon ripening. Bulbs 
should be planted shallow in a partially 
shaded location. For pot culture use rich 
garden soil with leafmould and humus 

added and fertilize frequently with liquid Hedychium Gardnerianum 
manure. Withhold water when the bulb 
becomes dormant. Delivery July to Oct. 
$1.00 each; large bulbs $2.00. 
Hedychium 
Ginger Lily 
Tropical plants that are highly ornamen- 
tal both in flower and foliage. For green- 
house culture plant in large pots in rich 
soil and keep constantly wet. In warm 
sections plant outdoors in partial shade. 
When grown in the open they need to be 
well established before they start to flower. 
The flowers are produced on _ terminal 
heads and are very fragrant. They last 
well when cut. Delivery any time. 
COCCINEA. We have this plant, but have 
never been able to flower it. The foliage 
is very beautiful and plant grows in very 
compact, well rounded form. We recom- 
mend it as a good foliage plant, although 
you might be able to have better luck with 
the flowers than we have had. 59c each. 
CORONARIUM (Butterfly Lily). Flowers 
pure white, large, and resemble butter- 
flies in shape. Increases rapidly. 5 feet. 75c. 
FLAVUM. Much like H. Gardnerianum, 
but with light yellow flowers. Robust grow- 
er, up to 7 feet high. $1.50 each. 
GARDNERIANUM. Larger in all its parts 
from Coronarium. Flowers in large clus- 
ters. The color is dark yellow with orange 
markings and the bright red filaments pro- 
jecting beyond the segments give it a 
Habranthus Brachyandrus = spidery appearance. 5 to 7 ft. $1.00.
