Sprekelia (syn. Amaryllis Formosissima) 
This bulbous plant which is also called Jacobean or Goldlily 
brings large bulbs same as Ameryllis Hippeastrum, to which it is 
comparable in general appearance. However it is incomparably 
more graceful in form. The flowers are dark scarlet, with a kind of 
golddust all scattered over the petals, which has earned them the 
name of Goldlily, carried on stems 2 feet tall. They are curiously 
formed, six petalled with the upper three petals branching out like 
claws. They suggest huge scarlet spiders suspended in mid air. 
Plant in April or May, covering them with three to four inches of 
soil. They will flower in June and early July and lend a very 
curious note to your garden. In colder sections store during the 
winter, taking up the bulbs after the foliage turns yellow and keep 
the winter over with the dried tops on. In warmer sections they 
are hardy with a good covering.

Tigridia Pavonia (syn. Mexican Shell Flower) 
The Tigerflower is one of the most striking of the Summer flowering 
bulbs, bearing on stalks about a foot high, flowers with three broad outer 
petals and an inner cup spotted with yellow. They come in soft tones of 
white, cream and rose and in warmer colors of yellow, flaming orange and 
scarlet. A certain iridescent beauty emanates from the peculiarly formed 
flowers. 
They are the more precious because their exotic beauty lasts only 
a day, but the large corms which we supply throw up a profusion of 
blooms in succession sothat they will fill a dull summer period with their 
delicate beauty. Plant them 4 inches deep in rich moist soil and a sunny 
location, and clump them profusely together to give the desired effect. 
They are charming for indoor decoration and if colored buds are picked in 
the evening you will have some exotic beauty in your rooms, although 
it last only for a day. 
If you cannot plant your Tigridia bulbs immediately on receipt, 
(when they will be packed in moist ground peat) store the bulbs in damp 
sand. If dried out they are absolutely worthless. 
We cannot recommend this flower too highly. It is reliable and 
prolific and flowers over a long time from midsummer till late October. 
Lift after the first strong frost and store the winter over like Gladiolus.
