SPREKLIA 
FORMOSISSIMA. The “Jacobean Lily.”’ Another interesting member of the 
Amaryllis family with flowers carried on two foot stems that suggest huge 
scarlet spiders suspended in the air. Planted in May in northern climates 
they will usually bloom in late June and early July. Lifted and stored 
during the winter like Ismene. 
Also excellent as a pot plant, with same culture as any other Amaryllis. 
In the deep south it is winter hardy and excellent for landscape effects.

TIGRIDIA PAVONIA—Pictured on page 1. 
Few more brilliantly colored flowers are to be found in the Iris family 
than these “Shell Flowers,” undoubtedly named for the iridescent beauty 
of the large, bizarrely formed blossoms. 
The foliage is short and sabre-like, with stems rising to 2'/2 feet bearing 
unique triangular flowers of three outer long petals and three inner short. 
Center petals are gayly spotted and banded thus giving the plant one of 
its common names “Tiger Flower.” When this plant is set to a depth of 
4 inches in rich moist soil in a sunny location it is very free flowering, 
filling the dull summer period with many weeks of gay, cooling colors. It is 
most effective when clumped, preferably with a low foreground planting. 
Culture is the same as for Gladiolus. 
Of these charming and uncommon tuberous-rooted plants we grow a large

PURPUREA MAJOR—The pretty “Scarborough Lily,” long 
popular in England as a pot plant. Rich scarlet flowers of lily- 
like appearance are borne on 2’ stems in rounded clusters, and

usually grown in the open in California and the South. After 
becoming established a well grown plant will produce numerous 
stalks and an unbelievable profusion of flowers. 
Excellent for the window garden. Pot in May in 3” pots, top 
of bulb level with soil, and do not repot until crowded.

shrub border. Lift bulbs like Gladiolus and store in fall.
