3 THE PARANA LILY 
The Parana Lily carries lovely blossoms of pure deep pink, 
flaring trumpets in form. While it will usually bloom nicely 
‘in the garden if planted early, it really excels as a pot bulb for 
window culture, easy to grow, sure to bloom, and altogether 
‘beautiful when it is in flower. Under pot culture it blooms late 
April until well into July. It may be left in the pots year- 
through. If grown in garden for summer bloom, it should be 
lifted in autumn and winter-stored in sand in a frost-proof 
Place. It is HABRANTHUS BRACHYANDRUS, a cousin of 
Amaryllis. a Sit culture. Pkt. 20c; 3 for 50c. Bulbs, one year 
(small blooming size) each 30c; 4 for $1.00.

SALMAGUNDI doesn’t always mean pickles. One dictionary 
meaning is ‘‘a medley,” and our particular SALMAGUNDI, 
offered here, is surely that. It is a mixture of seeds of pretty 
nearly everything we offer, and of a few we don’t as yet 
catalog (left-overs from our own. trial sowings). Of some 
kinds there will be just a trace, of others much, for this is 
where old seeds go. Seeds are mostly one-year old, a few older. 
They won’t all grow, but a lot of them will, and at low price 
at which this is sold, you can be pretty sure of getting ex- 
cellent value in plants from it. 1%4 oz. 35c; 1 oz. 60c; 1% Ib. $2.00.
