Eucharis Grandiflora 
Sprekelia Formosissima 
CALLA 
We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is one of the 
grandest varieties in cultivation, and most valuable for house or con- 
servatory decoration. 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. 
Melanoleuca Each 65c, Three $1.80, Doz. $6.50 
Rare ‘‘Black-Throated” Calla. The flower spathe is large, yellow and 
widely flaring. Margin and tip recurved, 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. 
Elliottiana (Yellow Calla) Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $5.75 
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. 
Each 50c, Three $1.35, Doz. $5.00 
A rather uncommon species, native of Natal. 
An uncom- 
Rehmanni 
The pink or rose Calla. 
The flowers are small but pink and therefore most unusual. 
mon plant for the greenhouse or outdoor, culture. 
CALADIUM, Fancy-Leaved 
Each 40c,' Three 1.10, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are now being grown in large quantities and 
are available at a moderate price, so that they can at last be used 
as they should. By that we mean for garden planting. Nothing is 
simpler to grow and nothing gives as beautiful a mass of color as do 
the fancy-leaved Caladiums. Throughout the summer and fall their 
magnficient leaves create a wonderful effect, for cutting for table 
decoration they are unmatched. They create a stunning effect in vase 
or bowl, no matter how used. A group of a dozen or more planted 
in light shade or full sun is as colorful as a bed of Tulips. They are 
particularly valuable for growing in light shade when annuals would 
not do. Simply plant bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart in April 
or May, and it won’t be long before they are up unfolding their re- 
markable 
leaves.

Zephyranthes Grandiflora 
CHLIDANTHUS 
Fragrans Three 70c, Doz. $2.50, 100 $17.00 
A little known summer-flowering bulb which produces deliciously fra- 
grant brilliant yellow Amaryllis-like flowers in August. They multiply 
rapidly and respond to the same treatment as given Gladioli. The flower 
stems are about 10 to 12 inches tall and flowers last many days when 
cut. In the garden they make brilliant patches of color. Increase 
rapidly. 
EUCHARIS - Amazon Lily 
Grandiflora Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
A rare bulb from the Amazon, producing deliciously scented, pure white, 
waxy flowers shaped not unlike the Daffodil. The foliage is handsome 
and evergreen, somewhat like that of the Funkia. May be grown in the 
garden in warm parts of the country. Does well in the cool greenhouse. 
Easily grown house plant. Give same care as Amaryllis. 
GLORIOSA - Climbing Lily 
Superba Rothschildiana Each 95c, Three $2.75, Doz. $9.50 
A splendid low climber, easy to grow in the garden; it does well in 
sheltered spots out-of-doors. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, producing a dozén 
Or more gorgeous Lily-like flowers which open a bright yellow and red 
but change to a deep scarlet. In bloom through the summer and au- 
tumn months. Most unusual and rare garden bulbs. Store tubers in 
winter like Gladioli; may be used season after season. 
GLOXINIAS 
These brilliantly colored flowers are easily grown by anyone. In fact, 
we do not know of any other house plant which responds so quickly 
and easily to the simplest of care and treatment. Their gorgeous 
velvety flowers last for months and make a stunning effect between 
the soft handsome leaves. The bulbs may be planted from early Feb- 
ruary until late May to provide for a succession of flowers. Place one 
bulb in a 5-inch pot filled with good, rich, sandy loam. Cover bulb about 
one inch, water sparingly. Place at once in warm, sunny window or 
conservatory. Growth is quite quick. After flowering save the bulbs to 
be used again another season because they can be used over and over 
for many years.

Srranae oxtail TEE: 
A noble family of hardy bulbous plants, most spectacular and desirable 
for stately and colorful groups in hardy plant borders. They are perfectly 
hardy, and when well established, produce giant flower spikes, like huge 
Hyacinths, attaining a height of from 5 to 8 feet. They thrive in any 
sunny, well drained border, and should be planted in early fall. The plant 
disappears above ground after flowering and annuals may be planted close 
to them to fill the vacant space, or the vacant space may be satisfactorily 
covered with Gypsophila Flamingo. A light mulching is advised as a winter 
protection in the very coldest parts of the country. 
Robustus Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
Light rosy pink flowers grow on stems 6 to 8 feet tall. One-third to 
one-half of the stem is covered with sparkling, small cuplike flowers. 
This is one of the giants of the family, easily grown and lasts from 
year to year. Giant roots producing one or more spikes. 
SHELFORD HYBRID EREMURUS IN PASTEL 
SHADES 
Stately Cut Flowers or Garden Plants 
Beautiful, tall, hardy hybrids; the inflorescence is 3 feet long, studded 
with myriads of coppery pink. orange, pale yellow and pink flowers. Rare 
and richly colored. They grow to an average height of 6 feet. For garden 
planting as well as for cutting these hybrids are superb. They make a 
stunning show in the garden as well as cut flowers indoors, lasting fully 
three weeks in water. For several years we have been increasing our stock 
so we could offer roots at a popular price. We suggest that they be planted 
in groups of not less than three, better effects are created if planted in 
masses of six or twelve. Our price is very low, enabling you to do this.
