Collection of one each of the 26 var. (listed for $15.60) for $14.00, postpaid. By 
express, f.o.b. with larger plants, and an extra variety not listed, for $13. 00. 
Assorted varieties not labelled. We have a large surplus of many. Price, by express, 
f.o.b. $12.50 per 100. There will be 10 var. or more. 
Leucojum aestivum. This hardy amaryllid is prized for its hardiness in cold climates, 
its very early flowering, often before snow is gone and its attractive umbel of small white 
flowers, with a green dot on petals. Plant 4” deep. Well drained soil is best. Blooming 
size bulbs in assorted sizes, 2 for 25c. $1.00 doz. 
Lycoris Bargain. 
Lycoris, natives of Japan and China, are among our very best bulbs for the south 
and two at least, L. Squamigera and L. Sprengeri, are quite hardy in the north. Most other 
species are winter growers and that eliminates them for northern gardens. Cover the bulbs 
by about 4” of soil in full sun exposure. Leaf mould or peat added to soil is a help. 
Lycoris are recommended by many for pot culture. If one gives them a very cool room— 
not a “hot house’—they should succeed. Imitate Calif. winter climate, where temperatures 
in winter range from 32° to 60°. Most of them are hardy to Washington, D. C., and 
even in So. Kansas a few are grown in protected places. On the border line of their 
hardiness they could surely be grown in a cold frame, made of 12” boards, covered by 
glass or cloth with additional cover in severe weather. Lycoris are worth all the effort 
you give. All flower in fall before foliage appears. 
We made some fortunate importations last year and again this year and are able 
to list new species and to lower prices. I hope all our customers will take advantage of 
these special prices.

Entire Collection of 7 species for $11.00. 
Nerine. This genus is seldom seen in America, altho it is one of the most beautiful 
and varied of the Amaryllids. They bloom in succession from Aug. 1 thru January. They 
are hardy only in the south where temperatures seldom go under 26°. But they are one 
of the finest pot buibs. Culture. Pot or plant in mildly acid, sandy soil. Use peat or leaf 
mold. Alkaline soil is the most frequent cause of failure. Pot bulbs at once with bulb well 
covered and 2” to 4” deep in gardens. Full sun. When foliage yellows withhold water. They 
should be dry when dormant.

finest Nerines and very easy. 75c and $1.25.

usually in late Dec. or early Jan. Multiplies rapidly yet we can seldom have enough stock 
to list. $5.00 ea. 
N. Bowdenii var. Magnifice, very fine improved Bowdenii, similar to Pink Beauty 
but flowers earlier. $2.50. 
N. rosea-crispa. Hybrid of Filifolia but larger in all parts. Can be kept evergreen or 
dried off. $1.00 ea.
