Vallola 
Named after Pierre Vallot, the famous French botanist. 
Popularly called the ‘Scarborough Lily’ it has been cul- 
tivated by rich and poor for over a century. Its popular 
name is supposed to have been derived in the same way 
as the Guernsey Lily . . . a Dutch bark was wrecked off 
the coast of England, some bulbs washed ashore and 
became established as garden plants. 
A South African amaryllid of exquisite beauty. The leaves 
are long, ever-green, and dark green stained purple at the 
base. A well-grown plant will produce from 30 to 40 spikes 
of from 3 to 8 flowers each. 
They are usually grown in the open in California and the 
South. Excellent for the window garden in the north. 
PURPUREA MAJOR. Rich scarlet flowers to 3 inches 
across of lily-like appearance borne on stems up to 3 feet 
in rounded clusters.

NOTE: Vallota bulbs are imported from South 
Africa and are very difficult to obtain. We are 
never certain of our stock until it actually 
arrives . . . so delivery cannot be promised on 
any given date. This year’s stock probably will 
not arrive until late 1951, but we would advise 
that you order immediately as the supply is 
always limited. 
Jophyranthes 
The dainty little ‘“Zephyr Lilv” or more poetically, “Flower 
of the West Wind’’. A beautiful and interesting plant that 
should become very popular with every gardener who ap- 
preciates flowers of gay and subtle beauty. Flowers are 
borne in great profusion throughout the summer on slender 
graceful stems 6 to 12” high. It is most effective for mas- 
sing, or in little clusters sprinkled throughout the peren- 
nial border and shrub border and rock garden. Lift bulbs 
like Gladiolus and store in fall. 
They are equally at home indoors, and pots of them may 
be brought into bloom several times each year by alter- 
nately drying them off and then forcing into growth.

delicate pink, and green throated. A large and beautiful

borne on tall 10’’ stems. Usually have one blooming period

frequently when there is ample moisture.
