HEDYCHIUM GARDNERIANUM 
Hedychium 
Ginger Liby 
Tropical plants that are highly orna- 
mental both in flower and foliage. For 
greenhouse culture plant in large pots in 
rich soil and keep constantly wet. In warm 
sections plant outdoors in partial shade. 
When grown in the open they need to be 
well established before they start to flow- 
er. The flowers are produced on terminal 
heads and are very fragrant. They last 
well when cut. Delivery any time. 
COCCINEA. We have this plant, but have 
never been able to flower it. The foliage 
is very beautiful and plant grows in very 
compact, well rounded form. We recom- 
mend it as a good foliage plant, although 
you might be able to have better luck with 
the flowers than we have had. 50c each. 
CORONARIUM (Butterfly Lily). Flowers 
pure white, large, and resemble butterflies 
in shape. Increases rapidly. 5 feet. $1.00 ea. 
FLAVUM. Much like H. Gardnerianum, 
but with light yellow flowers. Robust 
grower, up to 7 feet high. $1.50 each. 
GARDNERIANUM. Larger in all its parts 
from Coronarium. Flowers in large clus- 
ters. The color is dark yellow with orange 
markings and the bright red filaments pro- 
jecting beyond the segments give it a spi- 
dery appearance. 5 to 7 feet. $1.00 each. 
Hippeastrum 
GIANT HYBRIDS. This is the giant 
flowered Amaryllis, the so-called ‘Red 
ia 
Amaryllis.” They may be planted in full 
sun or light shade in Florida and Califor- 
nla, or may be grown as house plants in 
the conservatory or window garden in the 
cold regions. Plant the bulb shallow, barely 
covering neck when planted in the garden 
and with most of the bulb above the soil 
when potted. Use rich compost and use 
liquid manure occasionally. 
These hybrids are the result of many 
years careful *breeding by a number of 
outstanding horticulturists throughout the 
world. They vary in color from almost 
pure white to shades of pink, scarlet and 
red, often marked with beautiful stripes 
of darker color on light ground. They bear 
four to six huge flowers, varying in size 
from six to ten inches across, and often 
delightfully fragrant. Large size bulbs will 
produce two or more flower stems at a 
time and most of them will bloom twice 
during a season. Offered in mixed colors 
only. Winter delivery. Flowering size, 75c; 
large, $1.00 each. 
PURE WHITE variety. Here is what you 
have been asking for all these years and 
at last we are able to supply just a few 
bulbs. This strain is a robust grower and 
the flowers are well formed, absolutely 
pure white with a small light green throat 
which adds considerably to the attractive- 
ness of the flower. Because of the very few 
bulbs we have we are reluctantly forced 
to limit sales to one bulb to a customer. 
$10.00 each. 
ADVENUM (Ox-Blood Lily). This is 
sometimes listed as Habranthus Miniatus. 
This variety grows in the Winter months 
and the foliage dies down in the Summer. 
Then, in the Fall, the flower stems are 
produced through the dormant bulb to a 
height of 12 inches. Four to six flowers of 
ox-blood red are produced on a stem. 
They will form large clumps when undis- 
turbed for a numter of years. Plant six 
inches deep in full sun. Summer delivery. 
50c each.
