(CROWFOOT OR BUTTERCUP) 
Showy, colorful plants for the spring garden, or for greenhouse forcing. Planted outdoors in very 
early spring while weather is cool and moist, they will blossom about the last week of May or first 
week of June. A well grown mass of these charming flowers in full bloom is a sight not soon forgotten. 
Although not winter-hardy in Northern states, they can be grown and handled like Gladiolus. Plant 
as soon as the frost is out of the ground in spring, about 2’’ deep and about 6” apart; making the 
soil very sandy on top so the leaves will push through readily without heaving the soil. They prefer 
a damp location, where they will receive some shade during warmer part of the day, and plenty of 
moisture at the roots during the growing season. When foliage ripens off in late August, dig and store 
in a cool room. 
A successful indoor pot plant where conditions are cool and moist. 
An excellent cut flower. 
Double Peony-Flowered 
An excellent new strain with highly colored flowers like small double peonies, about 2”’

Sproklia 
FORMOSISSIMA SUPERBA. (Improved form of the 
original species). 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 
ov other Amaryllis. In the deep south it is winter hardy and 
on excellent for landscape effects.

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 21% 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 stock, and can supply 
strong, healthy corms.
