OAKHURST HYBRIDS (Giridlian, 1937).

are over 214 inches across, well rounded 
in shape, resembling a miniature Japanese 
Iris. The color is a pleasing shade of ivory 
with waxy substance and smooth eggshell 
texture. There is a bright orange or yellow 
mark in the haft of the falls and the top 
of the style branches are colored violet, 
making a very attractive color combina- 
tion. The color of the markings vary on 
different plants. 50c each.

as Lemon Drops, but with bright orange 
markings instead of lemon. $2.00 each.

with leaves up and down the stem. The 
flowers are produced in dense clusters and 
are useful for cutting and corsages They

Eucharis 
(Eucharis Lily) 
AMAZONICA. A grand bulbous plant of 
the Amaryllis tribe from Brazil. It sends 
out stalks bearing several pure white 
flowers 4 inches across and delightfully 
fragrant. May be brought to bloom at 
various seasons by partially drying out 
and starting growth again. It is not the 
easiest thing to bring to flower, but well 
worth the effort if you succeed. Use a 
compost containing leafmould and bone- 
meal. Ideal plant for glasshouse, except in 
Florida, where it grows to perfection out- 
doors. Delivery any time. $1.50. 
Eucomis 
(Pineapple Lily) 
PUNCTATA. Half hardy bulbs produc- 
ing rosettes of long, bright green leaves, 
spotted purple on the underside. From the 
center of the leaves rises a strong scape 
24 inches high bearing a raceme of whitish 
and purple flowers 12 inches high, which 
in turn are surmounted by a leafy bract 
similar to the top knot of a pineapple. It 
is from this leafy crown that the name is 
suggested. In warm climates they may be 
planted in the open in partial shade, or in 
the rock garden; but should be treated as 
a house plant in the East. $1.50.
