(Crinum continued) 
 ASIATICUM. Bears fragrant spidery 
white flowers in large umbels over a long 
period. The foliage is upright and nearly 
resembles a Century Plant. The bulbs 
eventually become very large and heavy, 
weighing up to 50 pounds. They are slow 
to propagate, as they do not form offsets 
freely. $3.50 each F.O.B. 
CAPENSE ALBA. Blue-green foliage and 
large clusters of white flowers produced 
in profusion. Hardiest of the Crinums. Will 
thrive outdoors as far North as Ohio if 
planted deep. $1.00. 
CECIL HOUDYSHEL. One of the best 
hybrid Crinums and a most profuse bloom- 
er. Deep rose-pink in color. 4 feet. $2.50. 
ELLEN BOUSAUNQUET. The most 
unique color among Crinums, being a deep 
wine-rose. You will never be sorry for 
ere this variety in your garden. 3 feet. 
1.50. 
MOOREI. An African species that does 
best in partial shade. Beautiful, large, bell- 
shaped flowers in various shades of pink 
on 3-foot stems. The flowers are freely 
produced throughout the Summer and Fall. 
Will stand considerable shade and nearly 
as hardy as Capense. $1.00. 
WHITE QUEEN. One of Burbank’s fin- 
est hybrids. Large, pure white bell shaped 
flowers with reflexed petals. Many flowers 
on a 3-foot umbel. $2.50 each. 
Cyclamen 
These are the hardy miniature cycla- 
men. They are ideally suited for shaded 
locations in the rock garden or for pot 
culture. Give them well drained soil that 
is rich in humus. Do not cover the crown 
of the tubers. All are Spring flowering 
with the exception of Atkinsi, which 
blooms in the Fall. $1.00 each. 
ATKINSI. Variegated foliage. Colors are 
pink, white, and crimson. Sold in mixed 
colors only. 
CILICICUM. Flowers pink, freely pro- 
duced on short stems. Foliage beautifully 
marbled. 
NEOPOLITANUM. Rosy-pink flowers. 
Foliage silvery marbled. 
NEOPOLITANUM ALBA. A pure white 
flowered variety of the above species. 
Very free flowering. 
Dietes 
African Iris 
MORAEAS having rhizomatous roots are 
called DIETES. They are native to South 
Africa, belong to the Iris family and re- 
quire the same cultural treatment as the 
Iris. They are hardy in localities where 
the Fig can be grown, but in the colder 
climates they will grow well in large pots 
in glasshouses, or brought indoors in very 
cold weather. They are not particular as to 
the kind of soil they are grown in, and 
will do equally well in full sun or shade 
They will tolerate excessive moisture and 
prolonged drought. The flower stems are 
perennial and if not cut too low will last 
and produce flowers for years. The older 
the plant becomes the more stems it will 
have and consequently the more flowers. 
They have attractive evergreen foliage. 
Delivery throughout the year. 
BICOLOR. A very distinct species with 
light green foliage and light yellow flow- 
ers marked in the center of the falls with 
dark, velvety brown-purple. Blooms all 
summer. 75c each. 
CATANULATA. A low growing variety 
with broad foliage and prostrate habit. 
Medium sized, waxy white flowers on tall, 
perennial stems which have a tendency to- 
lie on the ground, but will grow to a 
height of 4 to 6 feet if staked. 50c each. 
CONTRAST (Giridlian, 1940). Out of 
many crosses we have raised under gen- 
eral heading of Oakhurst hybrids we have 
selected three outstanding varieties that 
we felt deserved to be named and intro- 
duced. These we named CONTRAST, LEM- 
ON DROPS and ORANGE DROPS. We 
feel that it will become a valuable contri- 
bution to the gardens of subtropical Amer- 
ica. CONTRAST is descriptive of the col- 
oring of its well rounded flowers with 
standards and falls of pure cream heavily 
and boldly marked deep brownish orange 
in the center of the falls and the style 
branches making a triangle of dark purple 
in the center of the flower. 4 feet. 75c each.
