Amar, yllis ( Htippeastrum) Van Tubergen’s Superb Dutch Hybrid 
PERFECT FORM — RICH SUBSTANCE — PURE COLORS 
Grown from hand-pollinated seed of selected parent Amaryllis. 
Through generations of skillful plant breeding a few Dutch growers 
have produced hybrid Amaryllis of magnificent proportion and 
breathtaking beauty in a good range of clear pure colors. American 
growers have not yet been able to duplicate these results, but several 
of the best hybridists are making very favorable progress. 
Van Tubergen is one of the leading hybridists in Holland and their 
strain is exceptional. The colors are very clear and true, and the 
large finely-shaped flowers are distinguished by wide overlapping 
petals of great substance and noble bearing. The bulbs will usually 
bloom 3 to 4 flowers on a spike, and frequently produce 2 spikes, 
especially after becoming well established. 
As these bulbs are not propagated by the slow costly offset method 
(the only way to produce offspring of identical parent characteristics 
and color) there is some slight variation in shade and tone. However, 
in all cases OUR BULBS ARE CERTIFIED TRUE TO COLOR, 
FORM, BEARING, AND SUBSTANCE. At the end of the first 
blooming season if you feel the results are not up to your expecta- 
tions, or not as described, THE BULB WILL BE REPLACED AT 
NO CHARGE at the beginning of the following shipping season.

WORTHWHILE SPECIES 
AULICUM—A charming species from Brazil known as “‘Lily-of- 
the-Palace.” The bright scarlet-red flowers are borne in autumn 
or early winter. Foliage evergreen or nearly so; an attractive 
bright green. Each $2.75, 3 for $7.50 
CANDIDUM—A rare summer-flowering species from the Argen- 
tine. Sweetly scented, long trumpet shaped flowers of pure 
white. Nearly hardy. Height 21/2 feet. Each $6.25 
CRINUMS 
Crinums are rare and interesting bulbs producing in midsummer large 
umbels of fragrant Lily-like flowers on stout two-foot stems. They make 
fine accent points for terraces or borders, and an easy way to grow them 
outside is to sink the pots into the spaces where desired. They are good 
pot plants and the culture is the same as for Amaryllis. They increase 
freely by bulblets. 
MOORETI. A showy variety with long lasting pink blossoms and long, very 
wavy leaves. Bears seed if hand-pollinated or crossed with other species. 
It is said to be hardy in the latitude of New York City except that the 
bulbs grow so near the surface of the ground that the frost damages them. 
Each $1.40 
MOOREI ALBUM. A companion to above with white flowers. Each $2.50 
POWELLI. A hybrid with deep pink flowers. Bailey says, “If the bulbs 
are planted 21% to 3 feet deep (to the bottom of the bulb) in well-drained 
soil, the plant stands without protection in the neighborhood of New 
York City.” Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
POWELLI ALBUM. Similar to the above with white flowers. 
Each $1.10, 3 for $2.95 
POWELLI HARLEMENSE. Beautiful delicate pink blooms in large um- 
bels. An improvement on Powelli. Each 90c, 3 for $2.50 
POWELLI KRELAGEI. Another improved hybrid having deep rose-pink 
curved flowers 4 inches long. Each $1.45, 3 for $3.95 
YEMENSE—Large trusses of exquisite pure white flowers Each $3.75 
AMARACRINUM HOWARDI. A cross between Amaryllis belladonna 
and Crinum Moorei. Clear pink flowers borne on stout stems in 
September or October. Each $2.50 
CHLIDANTHUS 
FRAGRANS. An infrequently grown amaryllid of uncommon charm, re- 
ferred to as the “Yellow Amaryllis,” “Fragrant Lily,” and “Delicate 
Lily.” The erect golden yellow flowers have a most entrancing spicy fra- 
grance, and are borne in horizontal umbels at the top of ten inch stems. 
They usually flower in July or August and bear 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. 
Plant in full sun with a 3 inch covering of rich soil as soon as possible 
in the spring (as it sprouts early). Takes time to become well established. 
In southern gardens it should occupy a permanent location, while in 
the north it makes an excellent pot plant, or may be grown outdoors the 
same as Glads. An excellent cut flower. 
Each 40c, 3 for $1.05, 12 for $3.85 

RUTILUM—This charming rare little species is a pleasing varia- 
tion from the large flowered hybrids. The orange scarlet flowers 
are borne in airy profusion. Very graceful, and pretty for table 
decorations. Each $2.10, 3 for $5.70 
Choice California Hybrids 
These are grown by a leading California hybridist of exceptional 
skill and exacting standards. The blossoms are large, well formed and 
of great beauty. While they are not available in pure colors and do 
not attain the size or refinement of the Dutch Hybrids, we consider 
them the best of American grown mixed hybrids. All of our custo- 
mers interested in good bulbs at a popular price have been very well 
pleased with them.

EUCHARIS 
AMAZONIGCA. The rare and exotic “Amazon Lily” from Brazil. A real 
aristocrat of great beauty for pot culture in the north, or garden culture 
in warmer sections. The handsome evergreen foliage is a crisp contrast 
to the deliciously scented pure white flowers of rich waxy texture. The 
4” flowers are borne several to a stem and in great profusion. In appear- 
ance it is much like a huge white daffodil. Lovely for cutting. May be 
brought into bloom at various seasons. Each $1.50, 3 for $4.25 
ene ec GESNERIACEAE 2 are 
The Gesneria family consists of several species of tuberous-rooted plants 
having soft, heart-shaped leaves and brilliant tubular flowers in clusters. 
They have become an item much sought after by plant lovers who col- 
lect them, and there are several correspondence clubs devoted to a study 
and exchange of knowledge concerning them. The culture is exactly the 
same as for Tuberous begonias. Of this family we offer the 3 species listed 
below: Gesnerias, Naegelias and Tydaeas. Tubers of all 3 species should 
be stored in a warm place in the pots in which they have been grown and 
‘watered occasionally during the dormant season.
