always a super-quota of garden exclamation. Not truly 
a Hyacinth, but instead an aberrant giant Muscari. 6 for

LEWISIA 
REDIVIVA 
Blossoms in suggestion 
of Waterlilies, pink Wa- 
terlilies, from __ softest 
blush to a shade so rich 
and deep that it ap- 
proaches rose. It grows to 
only four inches, but the 
flowers are, for this, of 
extraordinary size, many 
open at once in crowded 
over-lappings. .Of fullest, 
winter-hardiness if the 
tubers are kept from 
frost - heaving damage 
during the winter months. 
By the way, tubers will 
seem limp and _ flabby 
when they arrive, but that 
is their nature, just as they — 
should be _ during this, 
their resting period. 3 for 
35c; 10 for $1.00; 60 for 
$5.00. Tllustrated opposite. 

LILY OF PERU 
That is an old name for the Alstroemerias, though it 
fits none too well as to geography for they come from 
other South American countries, also. They are gay beau- 
ties, brilliant in blossom colorings. Fairly hardy, too. At 
Old Orchard we carry them over in the open ground, have 
plantings more than ten years old, just by giving them a 
good straw mulching. In colder areas a thicker mulching 
would be needed, or they can be dug in autumn and 
carried over packed in sand in a cellar. They make good 
pot plants, too. We can supply seed of mixed species at 
pkt. 20c; 14 oz. 90c; 1 oz. $3.40. Roots of the following are 
available: AURANTIACA—Great clusters of golden or- 
ange, the inner segments splashed crimson. 3 for 80c; 10 
for $2.25. LIGTU—Daintiest of Alstroemerias, with blos- 
soms that may be blush, rose, orange-toned pink, or even 
flame color. 3 for 80c; 10 for $2.25. PULCHELLA—Parrot 
Lily. Four-foot stems are topped with whorls of uneven 
trumpets in rich red, always with emerald green tip. Long 
in bloom. 3 for 70c; 10 for $2.00. ALSTROEMERIA OFFER— 
6 each of the 3 above, with names, for $2.00. 10 of each for
