FOETIDISSIMA. Evergreen foli- 
age, and grows equally well in sun 
or shade. Flowers bluish and varia- 
ble, but this species is grown for the 
brilliantly colored seeds that it pro- 
duces. Early in the Fall these seed 
pods burst open, exposing brilliant 
red seeds. If cut and dried these are 
very useful for flower arrangements.

fresh-water swamps in the interior 
of Florida. Flowers violet with a

Ixia 
South African bulbs with numer- 
ous showy flowers on stiff, tall wiry 
stems and with tall, grassy foliage. 
~The flowers close at night, but even 
when closed are decorative, and are 
greatly in demand for arrangements. 
Cultural requirements are the same 
as for Freesia or Gladiolus. For best 
results they should be planted close 
together in groups of 12 or more. In 
warm sections they may be left in 
the ground for years. Delivery Sep- 
tember to December. 
BLOEM ERF. Recently introduced 
hybrids quite different from other 
Ixias. Blooms in late Spring on stems 
4 to 5 feet tall with 20 to 40 open

ten distinct named varieties that in- 
clude a full range of colors. $1.00 doz. 
Kniphofia 
Red Hot Poker 
These lovely plants are making a 
comeback to popularity. Within the 
past several years the hybridizers 
have worked wonders with this plant 
to give it more color variations and 
add grace to the flower spikes. They 
are evergreen in the South and 
should be left undisturbed for many 
years. In the North they should be 
lifted and stored in a warm place 
during the Winter and replanted in 
the Spring. Delivery Sept. to March. 
CORAL. A coral-red and orange- 
salmon combination that 
is rare 

Kniphofia coral
