LACHENALIA 
These bulbs are especially useful for forcing as they can be grown in flats 
or in pots. Do well out-of-doors in milder climates and are showy in beds, 
borders, and rock gardens. They have from one to two dozen generally 
pendulous, fire-cracker-like flowers, three-quarters to one inch in length 
on stems six to nine inches and bloom from late November to February, 
depending on the time of planting and the temperature in which they are 
grown. 
Cultural Directions: Same as Freesias. May be had in bloom at Christmas. 
Bulbs multiply freely and may be used from year to year. 
Aurea Three 80c, Doz. $2.75, 100 $19.00 
A beautiful variety producing 8- to 10-inch spikes of golden yellow 
flowers; very easily grown in the house. Like Pendula, it can be had in 
bloom tor Christmas by simply growing it on the windowsill in full sun. 
Pendula superba Three 80c, Doz. $2.75, 100 $18.00 
Flowers brilliant coral-red tipped green and purple. Two or three Tulip- 
like green leaves. One of the best and earliest. Excellent for indoor 
growing. Easily in bloom by Christmas. 
LEUCOCORYNE - Glory-of-the-Sun 
Ixioides odorata Six $1.25, Doz. $2.25, 100 $14.00 
Flowers exquisite light blue on tall, wiry stems and of very long-lasting 
quality, with faint Heliotrope fragrance; for greenhouse culture or out- 
doors in warm states. March and April flowering. Unquestionably one 
of the loveliest new bulbs introduced. We predict it to be as much used 
as Freesias as soon as the price permits its free planting. 
LEUCOJUM - Snowflake 
Aestivum (Summer Snowflake) Six $1.00, Doz. $1.60, 100 $10.50 
A very handsome, hardy, robust growing plant, producing spikes of 
elegant drooping white flowers in May. Greatly prized for cutting, on 
stems about 14 to 18 inches high. Same culture as for Narcissi. 
Gravetye Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 100 $12.00 
This large-flowered Snowflake produces in April and May gracefully 
drooping white bell-like flowers. Does best when growing in a shady 
situation and should be left alone as much as possible because the 
flowers become larger when the bulbs are not disturbed. Particularly 
fine for cutting. 
MERTENSIA VIRGINICA - Virginia Blue Bells 
This is indispensable in the garden for color effect; flowers are porcelain- 
blue; buds pink at opening. The plant grows from 1 to 2 feet high, bearing 
a panicle of flowers about 1 inch long in short pendent clusters. It is 
splendid for the open border or for naturalizing along the woodland path. 
We know of no other spring flower which does so well in deepest shade. 
It flowers from the time Daffodils are in bloom, continuing while the May- 
flowering Tulips are at their best. Use this delightful plant in quantities, 
as it is permanent and so helpful to create beautiful pictures, especially in 
shady places. (Color illustration, page 20.)

Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00, 1000 $165.00 
Lachenalia Pendula Superba 




LYCORIS 
Radiata Six $1.25, Doz. $2.30, 100 $15.00 
From 10 to 20 flowers are borne on slender scapes 1 to 1% feet high 
in early autumn. They are bright crimson in color, about 11% inches 
across; the sickle-shaped segments being scarcely crisped; filaments are 
bright red. The leaves appear after the flowers. They are easily grown 
indoors, in the North, but in the South may be grown outdoors in ordi- 
nary good aarden soil. 
P.S.—Lycoris Radiata is generally misnamed Nerine Sarniensis. 
MORAEA 
An interesting group most of which are natives of South Africa, many 
being new to cultivation. Some are useful for cutting, others for the peren- 
nial garden and others still for pot culture and rock gardens. All listed 
below flower in spring. They show a wide range of colors and vary in height 
from 6 inches to 3 feet. On most of them the foliage is not important. 
Same culture as for Freesias. 
Glaucopis (Iris pavonia) Six $1.25, Doz. $2.30, 100 $15.00 
Often called Peacock Iris. Flowers white or light blue with peacock eye 
at base of outer segments. Stems 10 to 15 inches high. Excellent for 
cutting, forcing, rock gardens and pots. 
Polystachya Six $1.25, Doz. $2.30, 100 $15.00 
Slender plant 18 to 24 inches high with many wiry branches. Well cov- 
ered with flowers looking at a distance like a close group of butterflies. 
The outer segmenis of the flowers are light mauve, penciled with parma 
violet, with a bright yellow spot at the base, inner segments light mauve 
with little pencilings. Starts flowering six weeks after planting and 
keeps on three to four months. Corms can be had in cold place at 40 
degrees to make successive plantings over a long period. 
MUSCARI - Grape Hyacinths 
Muscari are charming spring flowering subjects. They can grow under 
trees and shrubs and also do well in full sun in the border or at a sunny 
spot of the rockery, without any special attention. They are best planted 
immediately on receipt and can remain undisturbed for years. They are 
absolutely hardy ond some varieties are delicately fragrant. Botryoides, 
Azureum and Armeniacum are beautiful when forced in the house, same 
culture as Freesias; while Plumosum is always a source of great interest. 
All are about five inches high. Owing to war, Botryoides and Azureum not 
available this year. 
Armeniacum (Heavenly Blue) Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.00 
Deep cobalt-blue flowers, producing many spikes with large flowers. 
Wonderfully fragrant. While there are several kinds of Muscari, we 
consider this variety the best for mass planting. Their flowers open 
just about the time that the Crocuses are going. They do well in the 
wild garden and also in grass not too rank. They are nice under trees 
and along borders where they may be left undisturbed. (Color illustra- 
tion, page 20.) 
NERINES 
For autumn flowering particularly in a cool greenhouse or living room 
window, few plants can compare with Nerines for their brilliant and attrac- 
tive colors. The flowers aire produced on umbels of 6 to 24 blooms on stiff 
stems about 1 foot high. They remain in bloom for many weeks and the 
bulbs may be-used over and over again. In southern gardens they are easily 
grown outdoors with little or no protection or much care. 
Bowdeni Each 85c, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50, 100 $60.00 
Large umbels of pink flowers 3 to 4 inches across. This is one of the 
best and easiest to grow. Is quite hardy in the South and does well 
outside as well as making a fine flower indoors. 
Note: Do not confuse the true Nerine Bowdeni with what are generally 
called Nerine (Sarniensis) in America. What is grown here mostly under 
the name Nerine Sarniensis is Lycoris Radiata.
