Crinums in the north. Thus they become well established before fall and are more win- 
ter hardy. 
We offer several sizes. Smaller sizes will give a start but are unlikely to flower the 
first year. Prices: Small, $1.25; medium, a blooming size, $2.00; large, $3.00. This year 
we have some jumbo bulbs that require so much postage we must price at $4.00. In 
_ time, even these grow still larger. They multiply profusely and soon form a large clump. 
C. Ellen Bousanquet. Large, glowing, dark wine red flowers. The most beautiful 
crinum. $1.00 and $1.50. 
C. Erubescens. Milk and Wine Lily. Red purple center stripe on petals. 75c to $1.50. 
C. H. J. Elwes. Pink, very beautiful. Does not make Jarge bulbs. Small plant more 
suitable for pots. Tender. Small, $3.00. 
C. Louis Bousanquet. Very free flowering thru an unusually long season. Pink flow- 
ers on a very tall, erect scape. 75c and $1.50. 
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 decorative value. 
Requires shade. Nearly as hardy as bulbispermum. $1.00 and $1.50. 
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. Largest, $1.50. 
Eucharis amazonica (or Grandiflora). Eucharist Lily. Star of Bethlehem. First col- 
lected on banks of Rio Magdalena, Colombia, S. A. Thus are combined three Biblical 
names in the lore of this flower. There are 4 pure white, very fragrant flowers in an 
umbel, with a cup in center. The beautiful evergreen foliage makes this always a dec- 
orative plant. Flowers are used in corsages and bouquets. 
Culture. For pots only. Soil, coarse, fibrous loam with coarse sand, granular char- 
coal, tablespoon of bone meal and a little cow manure added is usually recommended. 
We use more peat and milled or even coarse sphagnum moss and get excellent growth 
and flowers. 
Because they need abundance of water when blooming, the drainage must be per- 
fect. Use 5” pot. Feed with Spoonit or manure water except when resting, shaded but 
plenty of light and some sun is needed to develop flowers. Frequently they flower very 
soon after potting. If they do not, induce good growth for several months until offsets 
appear and pot is well filled. Then dry them off, giving only enough water to prevent 
entire loss of foliage. After a few weeks rest, water once or twice. If they do not flower 
the rest was not long enough or the growth before was not sufficient. From 2 to 4 crops 
a year may be had. They are tropical plants and 65° is the best minimum night tempera- 
ture. We offer the best and largest imported bulbs we can get, about 2” diam., at $2.00 
ea. Smaller bulbs, $1.50. 
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. It may be crossed with Ismene. $2.00. 
Habranthus robustus. Long tubular, lavender pink solitary flowers. Closely related 
to Amaryllis. A “now and then” bloomer in all seasons 1f watered well. Hardy in middle 
south and a good pot bulb. Plant 4” deep. Full sun. 40c ea. 
-H. brachyandrus. A larger purplish flower that is most attractive. Like most Ha- 
branthus they bloom several times a year by alternate dry and wet weather, natural or 
artificial. $1.00 each. 
H. andersoni texanus. A small Texas native sometimes called Rain Lily as it blooms 
many times a year, after a rain. Coppery yellow. 75c ea. Delivery in spring when dor- 
mant. 
Haemanthus. The Blood Lilies of South Africa. So rare that few have seen them. 
Culture. Hardy only in almost frost free climate like So. Calif. or Fla., if tempera- 
tures do not go below 24° at night. They do well in pots anywhere. The soil should be
