have a sufficiently long season in which to form new roots and flower the second 
year. It is better to order before June 1. Thus we will deliver in June or July. If you 
plant as soon as received there is not likely to be an interruption in the production of 
flowers. 
Culture. Work the ground to a depth of 10”. Plant with top of bulb covered 
about 2”. In dry climates, begin to water in late July and continue until foliage dies 
the following June. Full sun or slight shade. They prefer to be dry when dormant. 
Brunsvigia rosea, major. Pure pink 40c. L. 60c ea. Jumbo 80c. 
B. rosea, minor. Later to flower. Pink with lighter throat. 65c. 
Chlidanthus fragrans. Golden yellow flowers in spring. Entrancing, spicy fragrance. 
Three or four flowers in an umbel on a 10” scape. Plant 3” deep, in full sun. They like 
to be crowded whether in garden or pots and when bulbs fail to flower freely it is often 
because the bulbs’ entire energy is spent in vegetative increase. Remedy, don’t divide 
clumps. Let them become crowded or pot bound. 
Altho cheap, this is one of the most desirable bulbs for southern gardens. In the 
north it can only be grown in pots. It should be potted as soon as received but start it 
into growth slowly. 25c ea. $2.00 per doz. Planting stock, small bulbs, some of which 
may flower, 50 for $3.50. 100 for $6.00 postpaid. Gardeners in the south should order 
these. 
Clivia. It has evergreen, strap shaped leaves that resemble those of an Amaryllis. 
Unlike an Amaryllis, no distinct bulb 
is formed, but the rootstock which 
develops beneath an old Amaryllis bulb 
and which may be trimmed off with 
advantage to it, is greatly lengthened 
in a Clivia and is of much value to it. 
In trimming this back when resetting 
Clivias do not remove active roots. 
The flowers are produced in 
umbels of 10 to 25, in rich and exquis- 
ite tones of orange, in Feb. to April. 
When not in flower the deep rich 
green foliage and later the red fruits 
are most ornamental. 
Culture. They are usually grown 
in pots, even in the south, as more 
perfect foliage is thus possible, and 
when in flower one wants them in the 
house. We grow them in a_lath house, 
lath spaced 4%” apart and in garden 
under Avocado (evergreen) trees. They 
must have shade with only a few flecks 
of sunshine, but plenty of light and 
air. 
Clivias must never be dried off or 
allowed to lose their foliage. Keep 
them well supplied with water after 
flowering, all summer and fall. Liquid 
fertilizer, occasionally, helps. When 
growth ceases in late fall rest them by 
giving them less water. But keep 
moist enough to prevent wilting of 
foliage. At this time they should have a cool room with temperature of about 40° to 50°. 
Pots should be 8” for a small plant up to 12” for larger. Drainage must be perfect.
