Hymenocallis. Spider Lilies. The true Spider Lilies. Pure white with long narrow 
petals and long stamens, giving a fancied spidery appearance. 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. In the north they can be grown in the garden, but they 
must be dug in the fall and stored over winter like Glads. 
Hymenocallis sp. Tropical Spider Lily. This is a large species, with pure snow-white 
flowers over 7” wide. It is evergreen in frostless locations. 50c ea. | 
H. Harrisii (Harrisiana). A small, deciduous Spider Lily. Flower stem not over 12” 
tall. Hardy as far north as Washington, D.C. Rare. $2.50. 
Ismene. These are closely related to Hymenocallis and were usually classified under 
that genus until recently. Most botanists now give the Ismene generic standing. 
Culture. They can be grown anywhere in the U.S. or where Glads can be grown, 
in the garden. In the colder sections of the north, dig the bulbs in the fall and store like 
Glads. In the middle south, plant 6” deep and mulch well over winter. In the deep 
south they are quite hardy. 
It is very important to store Ismene in a warm room. The storage temperature of 
55° is safe and 70° is still better. Chilling may cause flower buds to blast or the bulbs 
to rot. I have found no advantage in leaving old roots attached. April delivery in the 
north, or earlier. Feb. delivery in the south. 
Ismene calathina. Peruvian Daffodil. Large white, very fragrant flowers, tinted 
green. As in Hymenocallis, the stamens are joined by a membrane to form a cup. This
