DICENTRA 
SPECTABILIS. (Bleeding Heart) The “Lyre Flower” or 
“Locks and Keys.” A charming hardy perennial plant of 
most interesting structure. The leaves are a fine shade of 
green and have much decorative value due to their un- 
usual pattern. Long racemes of graceful, heart-shaped 
pink flowers, inner petals which protrude are white. 
Excellent border plants as well as a wild garden addi- 
tion where they lend beauty and charm. Extra heavy 
clumps, each $1.00; $9.00 for 10. 
GALTONIA 
CANDICANS. (Hyacinthus Candicans) The Great Snow 
White Summer Flowering Hyacinth. This Cape Hyacinth 
is a valuable summer-flowering bulb with long, slender 
leaves and a candelabra-like arrangement of thirty or so 
pure white, bell-shaped blossoms borne on a scape from 
3 to 4 feet tall. Distributed about the borders in groups 
or massed against shrubbery, they are very effective, 
giving lines of definition and strength to the riotous 
growth of summer flowers. Planted with Gladioli they 
form an imposing contrast and last a long time in bloom. 
In every way they may be treated like Gladioli, but south 
of Philadelphia the bulbs may be left out-of-doors over 
the winter with a light covering and will increase and 
give better results every year. Extra selected bulbs, $2.75 
for 10; $25.00 per 100. 
GLORIOSA 
ROTHSCHILDIANA. Climbing Lily. These odd and 
handsome plants originally came from Africa. Flowers 
are lily-like with sharply reflexing petals that meet at the 
back of the bloom. Golden yellow with the edges of the 
petals sharply marked scarlet-red, the scarlet markings 
become more prominent as the flower ages. Grows 3 
feet high and produces 15 or more of its lovely blossoms 
during the summer and fall. Plant near a trellis or pillar 
for finest effect. Can be grown in pots guided on wires 
shaped like a ball or trellis where all its beauty can be 
enjoyed as a porch decoration. Likes full sun, easy to 
grow. Extra selected, large tubers, $1.65 each; $15.50 
for 10. 
ISMENE 
CALATHINA. (Peruvian Daffodil) Lily-white flowers 
resembling an Amaryllis. The trumpet shaped blooms 
are borne in clusters of from 3 to 4 blossoms each. 
Delightful lily-like fragrance that is lovely. Extra large 
jumbo bulbs, $6.75 for 10; $65.00 per 100.
