to contain anything, but is not a hand made, balanced mixture. No. 1 and Jumbo bulbs,

Our Gladiolus did especially well last year and very. large bulbs were dug. Many 
are too large to pay increased cost of postage on. On f.o.b. express orders we will send 
as many Jumbo Bulbs as we can in place of L. sizes. On most bulbs listed as L. we can 
send large No. 1 to Jumbos for 2c each above listed price. That 2c will about pay extra 
postage. 
Maricas 
The Maricas have long been favorite house plants in the north. They have pretty 
flowers on a leaf-like scape. Following the flowers, two young plants take their place and 
become so heavy that the scape bends over to the ground (in the garden, here) and the 
plants take root, a foot or more from the mother plant. Hence they are sometimes called | 
“Walking Iris’ or “Apostle Plants.” They usually flower Jan. to March. 
Culture: They are shade plants and require a soil of peat, sphagnum and/or leaf 
mould with a little sand or rich sandy loam. Keep moist and growing all year. They are. 
hurt but not killed by 20° but thrive beside African violets and Orchids in the green- 
house. Read about them in Mrs. Wilson’s, “Enjoy Your House Plants.” 
Marica gracilis. Smallest variety. 5” pot. 75c. 
M. northiana. A larger plant, larger, better flowers but a slow propagater. 7” pot. 
$2.50. 
M. hybrids, Northiana x gracilis. We have raised some fine hybrids from this cross 
that have flowers equal or better than Northiana in size and form. 
They are more profuse with flowers than either parent and midway in size of plants. 
They propagate far more rapidly than even gracilis, forming large clumps with conse- 
quent increase of flowers. $1.75. Small plants, unlikely to flower this year, $1.00. 
LILY FAMILY — Liliaceae 
The type species is Lilium, or true Lily. Many call Crinums, Callas, Cannas, or any 
bulbs “Lilies,” but this is an error. 
Gloriosa. Climbing Lily. The flowers resemble true lilies but surpass most of them 
in their gorgeous beauty and high coloring. They propagate by tubers instead of bulbs. 
The stem is branching and heavy and must be supported. 
Culture. They must have sandy soil, full sun or slight shade, plenty of water, perfect 
drainage. We usually plant before March 1, but sometimes as late as May. They need a 
long season. Plant 4” deep. Horizontal position. In the north they may be started early 
in pots and shifted. Do not break earth ball when shifting. They may also be grown 
ifcpots.. 4. 
Gloriosa rothschildiana. It deserves the name Glory Lily. Very vivid colors, red with 
yellow markings, turning later to deep red and then deep rose. 4 ft. tall. Two sizes, 
$1.50 and $2.25.
