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 Bruns- 
vegia rosea. Again, Amaryllis, Hip- 
peastrum and Habranthus seem to 
change identity and personality al- 
most annually. Under the circum- 
stances we are going to confine our- 
selves 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 dor- 
mant during the Summer. The flow- 
ers rise from bare ground on 30-inch 
stems. Plant the bulbs rather shal- 
low, 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 de- 
livery. 
BELLADONNA MAJOR. Very 
lovely, sweet scented flowers of deep 
rose color. Six to twelve large flow- 
ers on 3-foot stems in July. 30c. 
BELLADONNA .MINOR. Bright 
pink shading a pure white in the 
center. Blooms two weeks later than 
B. Major. 40c. 
BELLADONNA ROSEA. Last of 
the Belladonna to bloom. Clear 
white edged pink, yellow throat. 50c. 
BELLADONNA HYBRIDS. For a 
number of years we have been rais- 
ing a great number of seedlings of 
belladonna and Brunsvegia hybrid 
crosses. These show great variety of 
- forms, colors, size and height, and 
great majority of them are far su- 
perior to the existing varieties. We 
have selected a few of these for fu- 
ture 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 col- 
orful of the early Spring flowered 
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 season.
