H. Spitfire. Originator’s description. Seems never to quit blooming in spring and 
summer. Fiery red with yellow midrib, yellow throat. Small flowers but in great 
profusion. 24 ft. Here it blooms nearly all the time. $1.00 ea. 
H, Vesta. Deep orange with glistening gold sheen. 30”. May-July. $1.00.

H. Buck’s Hybrids. These were produced by a very talented Daylily expert, Mr. 
Quinn Buck. Most of them are good enough to name and introduce but because they 
are not distinctly different from other named varieties, it has not been done. No 
descriptions, but yellow, gold and orange predominate. Price, single plants, 25c ea. 5 for 
$1.00. We can furnish large clumps that will make fine specimen clumps for $2.00, 
by express, f. o. b. 
Hymenocallis. Spider Lilies. The true Spider Lilies are pure white with long narrow 
petals and long stamens, giving a fancied spidery appearance. The so-called Red Spider 
Lily and Golden Spider Lily are Lycoris. Culture. They are hardy in the south and may 
be planted deep on the border-line as in N. Car., Okla., etc. They do exceptionally well 
in pots. 
Hymenocallis sp. Tropical Spider Lily. This appears to be the same as H. rotata and 
H. tenuiflora and these two appear to be one species. This is a large species, with pure 
snow-white flowers over 7” wide. 50c ea. 
Ismene. We will list these in the Spring Catalog as spring is a better time to plant 
them. 
Leucojum aestivum. Hardy in north. Blooms often before snow is gone. Dainty 
white flowers, each petal with a vivid green dot. Plant 4” to 6” deep. Do well in full 
sun, a little better in half shade. Last fall’s price was 90c doz. It is often priced at twice 
this. This fall we dug our entire field and will offer you a special. 50c doz., postpaid. 
Larger blooming size, $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000. Assorted sizes, medium and small, 
many should bloom, $1.00 per 100, $7.50 per 1000, by express, f.0.b. These are fine 
bulbs to plant under deciduous trees. These prices are below wholesale rates. 
Lycoris are natives of Japan and China. A few of them are now scarce because none 
can be imported. Most of them are winter growers. 
Culture. The species Radiata do well in any good garden soil containing humus. 
All Lycoris prefer neutral or mildly acid soil. 
Lycoris radiata. Red Spider Lily. Coral red flowers in a several flowered umbel in 
Sept. Flowers are followed by the foliage. Flowers have narrow undulate petals and 
long stamens which give the “spidery’” appearance. This is a common flower in the 
south and one of our most beautiful. Hardy along coast to North Carolina and on Pacific 
Coast to Vancouver. In pots it flowers only the first year. 35c ea. 
Nerine. This genus is seldom seen in America, altho it is one of the most beautiful 
and varied of the Amaryllids. They bloom in succession from Aug. 1 thru Jan. They 
are hardy only in the south where temperatures seldom go under 26°. But they are one 
of the finest pot bulbs. Culture: Pot or plant in mildly acid to neutral soil. Sandy soils 
are more likely to be acid and drainage is better. Use peat or leaf mould to bring soil to 
pH 6.5 or 7. Alkaline soil is the most frequent cause of failure. Pot bulbs at once with 
bulb well covered and 2” to 4” deep in gardens. Full sun. When foliage yellows 
withhold water but be sure they have made a vigorous growth. 
Nerine Bowdenii. 10 or more rose pink flowers in an umbel 9” wide on a 15” scape. 
The finest of all and of easy culture. Dec. delivery. $1.00 and $1.50 ea. Budded (usually 
in Dec.) $2.00 ea. 
N. filifolia. Lovely small Nerine with evergreen thread-like foliage. Carmine pink 
flowers on 12” stem. A dozen bulbs may go into'a 6” pot. Bloom in Sept. Delivery, any 
time. 15c ea. $1.25 doz. If ordered after Sept. 15, you may get no flowers the first year. 
N. magnifice. Pinker and larger than Bowdenii. Very fine. $1.50 ea. 
N. massonorum. Earliest, often mid-July. Foliage like N. filifolia. Flowers resemble 
it but smaller, on a shorter scape. Very long spathe. Delivery any time. 50c ea. 
N. species unknown. This is either undulata or erubescens, which are very similar. 
Flowers similar to filifolia but larger and on a 15” to 18” scape. Fine for cutting. 75c ea.
