Bletilla- Htardy Orchid 
Terrestrial Orchid from China and Japan. Easily grown in ordinary garden soil with plenty of 
moisture. Prefers half shade. Blooms in spring. Hardy under all conditions. 
Hyacinthina Each 60c, Three $1.60, Six $3.00, Doz. $5.75 
A beautiful small Orchid anyone can grow in the garden or in the house in a small pot filled with 
ordinary garden soil. Planted in November it will bloom for you early in March. The plant may 
be removed to the garden where it will grow freely or can be forced into bloom again the follow- 
ing winter. Six to eight dainty Cattleya colored flowers grow on a stem about 12 to 15 inches 
tall. These last from 6 to 8 weeks. Grows as easily as Paper-White Narcissi and certainly more 
beautiful. 
Brodiaea 
These are easily naturalized in almost any soil. Plant them about 3 inches deep and leave them 
alone. They are especially happy under deciduous trees, in the rock garden, or in rough, gritty soils. 
Mixed Six 75e, Doz. $1.05, 25. $1.29, L00 7:25 
This mixture contains the following colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and is good for naturalizing. 
Bulbs self-sow and increase quite rapidly. 
CGalla-Zantedeschia 
Plant Callas indoors in the late fall of the year. In April or May dormant bulbs may be planted 
near the pool in a sunny spot where they will flower beautifully in August or September. 
Elliottiana (Yellow Calla) Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $5.75, 100 $40.00 
One that should be planted extensively. The deep golden yellow flowers are truly magnificent 
and produced in abundance. The green foliage is spotted white, which adds to its beauty; lovely 
house plant as well as garden subject. (Color illustration below.) 
Godfrey (White Calla) Each 50c, Three $1.35, Doz. $5.00, 100 $35.00 
Most ornamental foliage if grown near pool where it will get plenty of water; an excellent, easily 
grown house plant. (Color illustration at left.) 
Melanoleuca Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $6.50 
Rare ‘’Black-Throated” Calla. The flower spathe is large, yellow and widely flaring. Margin and 
tip recurve, revealing a sharply contrasting purplish black throat blotch. The handsome yellow 
flowers are larger than those of the Calla Elliottiana. The plant is also taller and the spotted 
foliage even more decorative. Does particularly well outside, making a fine show in the garden 
and is a superb pot plant, easily grown in the house. 
Rehmanni Each 50c, Three $1.35, Doz. $5.00, 100 $35.00 
The pink or rose Calla. A rather uncommon species native of Natal. The flowers are small but 
pink and therefore most unusual. An uncommon plant for the greenhouse or indoor culture. 
Copan (Hardy) 
There are few bulbous plants that meet climatic or soil conditions better or give a more attractive 
bloom. They are hardy without protection, and thrive either under ordinary garden conditions or 
when naturalized in open, moist woods or in not too dense a grassy growth. The flower stems are 
2 to 4 feet high with as many as a hundred star-shaped flowers measuring 11/4 inches across and 
flowering in long succession. 
Esculenta Six 50c, Doz. 70c, 25 $1.25, 100 $4.00 
Very showy in mass planting. Forms flower spikes 2 feet high, bearing a cluster of star-shaped 
flowers of a very fine, rich purple. Fine for wet and swampy places where other bulbs do not 
grow. 
Leichtlini Six $1.10, Doz. $1.85, 25 $3.35, 100 $12.00 
Same as preceding but stronger grower, flowers are larger and come in various hues of blue and 
creamy white. Again does well where other bulbs fail. (Color illustration, page 63.)
