dnemone Corvonaua 
Though this is best known and most popular as a cut flower offered by the florist, it is equally as 
fine a plant for the summer garden. In the south and west it is winter-hardy, but in the north and east 
it must be handled as a tender bulb much like Gladiolus. It is of easy culture, preferring rich moist 
soil and plenty of water during the growing season. Solitary flowers are borne 12 to 18 inches high 
in colorful profusion over dainty fern-like foliage for a long period of time. Plant early as possible in 
the spring. Also a worthy subject for the small greenhouse or conservatory.

ELEGANS. Dainty ‘Mexican Coral Drops” that will bring much charm to the summer garden. 
The flowers are clear coral-red on the outside, while the interior is orange splashed with broad creamy 
stripes. A striking addition to the garden, suggesting as it does the burst of miniature rockets. Loose 
bell-shaped umbels of 5 to 10 blossoms are borne on 20-inch stems — excellent for cutting. Flowering 
continues for about 2 months, usually from July through the last of September. Prefers late spring 
planting in light soil in a sunny position. Harvest in the fall and keep dry until spring. A plant of 
considerable interest and beauty. :

FRAGRANS. An infrequently grown amaryllis of uncommon charm, referred to as the “Yellow 
Amaryllis,” “Fragrant Lily,’ and ‘Delicate Lily.” The erect golden yellow flowers have a most 
entrancing spicy fragrance, 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.

Cunums 
Crinums are rare and interesting bulbs producing in mid-summer large umbels of fragrant Lily-like 
flowers on stout 2-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. An excellent pot plant in any 
part of the U.S. and culture is the same as for Amaryllis. They increase freely by bulblets.
