H. Buck’s Hybrids. These were produced by a very talented Daylily expert, Mr. 
Quinn Buck. Most of them are good enough to name and introduce but because they 
are not distinctly different from other named varieties, it has not been done. No 
descriptions, but yellow, gold and orange predominate. Price, single plants, 50c ea. 
3 for $1.00. We can furnish large clumps that will make fine specimen clumps for 
$2.50, by express, f.o.b. 
Hymenocallis. Spider Lilies. The true Spider Lilies are pure white with long 
narrow petals and long stamens, giving a fancied spidery appearance. The so-called 
Red Spider Lily and Golden Spider Lily are Lycoris. Culture. They are hardy in the 
south and may be planted deep on the border-line as in N. Car., Okla., etc. They do 
exceptionally well in pots but are not winter bloomers. 
Hymenocallis sp. Tropical Spider Lily. This appears to be the same as H. rotata 
and H. tenuiflora and these two appear to be one species. This is a large species, with 
pure snow-white flowers over 7” wide. 50c ea. 
Ismene. We will list these in the Spring Catalog as spring is a better time to 
plant them. 
Leucojum aestivum. Hardy in north. Blooms often before snow is gone. Dainty 
white flowers, each petal with a vivid green dot. Plant 4” to 6” deep. Do well in full 
sun, a little better in half shade. 10c ea. 90c doz. 
Lycoris are natives of Japan and China. A few of them are now scarce because 
none can be imported. Most of them are winter growers. 
Culture. The species Radiata do well in any good garden soil containing humus. 
All Lycoris prefer neutral or mildly acid soil and for Aurea especially one should 
incorporate some peat in the planting furrow. Aurea also much prefers a sandy soil 
and liberal watering when in growth. 
Lycoris radiata. Red Spider Lily. Coral red flowers in a several flowered umbel 
in Sept. Flowers are followed by the foliage. Flowers have narrow undulate petals and 
long stamens which give the “spidery’” appearance. This is a common flower in the 
south and one of our most beautiful. Hardy along coast to North Carolina and on 
Pacific Coast to Vancouver. In pots it flowers only the first year. 35c ea. Largest bulbs, 
50c ea. 
L. aurea. Golden Spider Lily. This is the famous Hurricane Lily of St. Augustine, 
Fla. It is one of nature’s most beautiful flowers, but rare and expensive. They must 
be ordered before Sept. 15 as they bloom very early and we have only about 25 
blooming size bulbs. $2.50 ea. 
L. purpurea. The brilliant blue and purple markings on the flower make a startling 
effect. This species is hardy in the north. $3.00 ea. Order before Oct. 1. 
L. squamigera. Amaryllis Halli. The hardy Amaryllis that resembles Brunsvigia 
rosea (Amaryllis belladonna). $1.00. Order before Oct. 1. 
Narcissus and Daffodils 
Both belong to the genus Narcissus of the Amaryllidaceae. 
Culture. All Daffodils except the Polyanthus Narcissus are hardy both in the mild 
climate of the south as well as in the colder northern states. In the north especially 
it is best to plant the bulbs rather deep where the frost does not reach. Six inches is
