AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA 
Amarcrinum 
HOWARDI. A bi-generic hybrid of Cri- 
num Moorei and Amaryllis belladonna pro- 
ducing throughout the Summer exquisitely 
fragrant, soft pink flowers on tall stems. 
Culture same as for Crinums. Delivery 
throughout the year. $2.50 each. 
Amaryllis 
We try to be botanically correct and up 
to date in the names used in this catalog. 
However, it is sometimes trying to keep 
up with the botanist who seems to take 
pride in reclassifying plants and changing 
names almost annually. We are perfectly 
willing to go along with him and change 
the names in this catalog to conform with 
his expert judgment, but we are afraid of 
being accused of trying to sell the same 
plant more than once under different 
names. We knew the “Naked Lily” as 
Amaryllis belladonna and listed it as such. 
Then the name was changed to Calicore 
rosea and later to Brunsvegia rosea. Again, 
Amaryllis, Hippeastrum and Habranthus 
seem to change identity and personality 
almost annually. Under the circumstances 
we are going to confine ourselves to the 
old popular names, at least until such time 
as the botanist will make up his mind and 
stick to one name for several years. 
BELLADONNA varieties are from South 
Africa. They grow during the Fall and 
Winter and become dormant during the 
Summer. The flowers rise from bare 
ground on 30-inch stems. Plant the bulbs 
rather shallow, barely covering the top 
with soil. Plant in full sun or part shade 
and keep watered at all times, even when 
dormant. Summer and Fall delivery. 
BELLADONNA MAJOR. Very lovely, 
sweet scented flowers of deep rose color. 
Six to twelve large flowers on 3-foot stems 
in July. 40c. 
BELLADONNA MINOR. Bright pink 
shading a pure white in the center. Blooms 
two weeks later than B. Major. 40c. 
BELLADONNA ROSEA. Last of the Bel- 
ladonna to bloom. Clear white edged pink, 
yellow throat. 50c. 
BELLADONNA HYBRIDS. For a number 
of years we have been raising a great 
number of seedlings of belladonna and 
Brunsvegia hybrid crosses. These show 
great variety of forms, colors, size and 
height, and a great majority of them are 
far superior to the existing varieties. We 
have selected a few of these for future 
trial, and from the remainder culled out all 
that show no definite improvement. We are 
offering these selected bulbs for 60c. 
Anemone 
Wind Flower 
Anemones are one of the most colorful 
of the early Spring flowering bulbs, and the 
easiest to succeed with. It is well to soak 
the bulbs in water for an hour before 
planting, or they may be planted in sand 
until they have sprouted, when they may 
be planted in their permanent location in 
a sunny exposure. They enjoy rich, loose 
or sandy soil. Plant six to eight inches 
apart and about an inch deep. Successive 
plantings will prolong the blooming sea- 
son. Delivery any time. 
BLUE POPPY. Large, bright blue with 
white center. $1.25 doz. 
DE CAEN. A mixture of brilliantly col- 
ored single flowers. $1.00 doz. 
HIS EXCELLENCY. Large, single tulip 
shaped flowers in scarlet. $1.25 doz.
