While the chrysanthemum is my true love, I 
am not prejudiced against other flowers, and when 
I see something that I particularly like I add it 
to my collection. Occasionally I get more of some 
item than I have space for (my space is limited),. 
and so am willing to pass the surplus along to my 
many flower-minded friends and customers. This 
explains the items listed below: 
LYCORIS, Radiata: (formerly classified as 
NERINH, Sarniensis, or Guernsey Lily). This lily 
is truly regal, blooming as it does in the fall when 
the garden is usually bare of color. The bloom 
spike emerges from the soil before any foliage 
appears. The spike is from 10 to 16 inches tall 
and the typical lily-like blooms are watermelon red 
and particularly attractive. The strap-like, typical 
bulb foliage follows the bloom, and lasts through- 
out the winter. Hot weather causes the foliage to 
die down, and the bulbs stay dormant until the 
following September. One point to remember—the 
bulbs must be planted very shallow or you will 
get no blooms; barely cover the bulb with soil— 
that is enough. $1.25 per dozen bulbs delivered, 
or $6.00 per hundred by express collect. Shipment 
in May or early June so bulbs can bloom the fol- 
lowing September. 
JONQUILLA, Simplex: The old-fashioned, deep 
yellow, very fragrant jonquil so popular in our 
grandmothers’ days. Too well known to describe. 
Mature bulbs are small and all may not bloom until 
they get well established; then plenty of bloom 
each spring. $.75 per dozen delivered or $4.00 per 
hundred by prepaid express. 
LEI LILY: Variously known as Ginger Lily or 
Butterfly Lily. By any name it is the lily used in 
Hawaii to make the lei garlands, and is equally 
pretty here. The blooms are white and very fra- 
grant. One important point: while they do not 
like “wet feet’, they absolutely require lots of 
water and fertilizer. If set in full sun and given 
plenty of these two items they will furnish a 
wealth of bloom over a long period. $.50 per root 
stock or rhizome—they are not a true bulb.
