more robust and instead of flowering in but limited period it is almost a 
perpetual bloomer. A very large bulb may give as many as 12 scapes in 
one season. If watered well, a large clump will furnish continuous flowers 
from spring to fall, making this the most valuable crinum. If planted deep 
it is reported hardy at Kansas City. Small bulbs, $1.25. Medium, that will 
flower the first year, $2.00. Very large, $3.00. Our bulbs are larger this year 
and require more postage. This amount is added to the price. 
C. Ellen Bousanquet. Large, glowing, dark wine red flowers. The most 
beautiful crinum. Very large, $1.50. Blooming size $1.00. 
C. Erubescens. Milk and Wine Lily. Red purple center stripe on petals. 
Small bulbs, 50c. Very large, $1.00. We will send still larger, extra jumbo 
bulbs, for $1.00, 6 for $5.00 if sent by express, f.o.b. 
C. H. J. Elwes. Pink, very beautiful. Does not make large bulbs. Small 
plant more suitable for pots. Tender. Small, $3.00. 
C. Louis Bousanquet. Very free flowering thru an unusually long season. 
Pink flowers on a very tall, erect scape. 50c. 
C. Moorei. Large pink, bell-shaped flowers in the fall, freely produced. 
The long neck of the bulb surmounted by rotated leaves give the plant great 
pecoraee value. Requires shade. Nearly as hardy as bulbispermum. $1.00 
each. 
C. Peach Blow. A beautiful pink flowering Crinum but here it is a shy 
bloomer. Small plant suitable for pots, $5.00. 
C. Powelli alba. Extra fine pure white. One of the most valuable and 
beautiful Crinums. Small 50c. Good blooming size $1.00. 
Eucharis amazonica (or grandiflora). Eucharist Lily. Star of Bethlehem. 
First collected on banks of Rio Magdalena, Colombia, S. A. Thus are combined 
three Biblical names in the lore of this flower. There are about 4 pure white, 
very fragrant flowers in an umbel, there is a cup in center somewhat like 
that of daffodils, ismene and hymenocallis. The foliage is beautiful and 
plant is decorative at all times. The flowers are useful in bouquets and 
corsages and often more expensive than orchids, and always more rare. 
Culture. For pots only. Set bulb with tip above surface, 5” pot. Soil rich 
sandy loam to which add more coarse sand and a liberal amount of leaf 
mould or (better) peat. A tablespoonful of bone meal and a handful of small 
granular charcoal are useful. Requires abundance of water when growing 
and blooming hence drainage must be perfect. Feed with Spoonit or manure 
water. This is necessary. Shaded but plenty light and a little sun are needed 
to make them flower. After flowering or growing 6 mo., rest them in deep 
shade for 2 months, giving only enough water to prevent loss of foliage. 
Then increase water and light. A few bulbs bloom at once. The best flowers 
follow good growth. With experience, one can get two to four crops of 
flowers in one year. They are greenhouse or warm room plants. And good 
growth can be made only when minimum temperatures are 65°, tho not 
killed by lower. 
Florida bulbs are diseased. We offer only large imported bulbs for $1.50 
each. 6 for $8.00. We have a few jumbos for $2.00 each. 
Elisena longipetla. Very rare and lovely Peruvian amaryllid. It is related 
to the Ismene but the pure white flowers are far more delicate and graceful. 
Culture like Ismene. It can be forced in pots or grown in the garden in 
summer. Bulbs stored over winter like Glads. It is hardy in the middle. 
south. $2.00. 
Habranthus robustus. Long tubular, lavender pink solitary flowers. 
Closely related to Amaryllis. A “now and then” bloomer in all seasons if 
watered well. Hardy in middle south and a good pot bulb. Plant 4” deep. Full 
sun. 40c ea. 
Haemanthus. This south African genus is very rare in cultivation. They 
are hardy only in an almost frost-free climate like So. Calif. or Florida. In 
their habitat, the following grow in cool, moist forest glades where there is 
little sun but plenty of light and where breezes keep the air in motion. These 
are the famous and rare Blood Lilies of South Africa.
