Ismene. Their large, very fragrant, white flowers are very desirable for 
cutting and are seen often in florists’ shops. The flowers are about the size 
of daffodils and because there is a cup in the center, they are often called 
“Peruvian Daffodils.” 
Culture. They are hardy only in the south. With deep planting they may 
be grown as far north as the Carolinas, where they should be covered by 5” 
of soil and well mulched in winter. Probably safe to leave in the ground in 
Oklahoma. In the north, plant in the garden in early spring and after frost 
cuts down the tops, dig and dry the bulbs well, then store at a temperature 
over 55°. If too cold in storage the bulbs will not flower and they may rot 
in storage. Even in the south they must be covered by 4” of soil. Ismenes 
can also be grown in pots. 
Ismene calathina. Not available this year.

summer. It was introduced to this country only a very few years ago. It has 
larger, more fragrant flowers than violaceae in the same color. Evergreen.

plant exchanging. $2.00. Delivery all year.
