CRINUM HYBRIDS AND SPECIES 
CRINUMS—the perfect bulb for the lower South, and sub-tropical 
gerdens, particularly where the ground does not freeze solid. Several 
forms are hardy to the middle South and even farthur north with protec-

types. Only careful experimenting will tell the absolute limit of hardi- 
ness of the various species and hybrids in any location. 
Osgood Mackenzie tells of growing Crinums, Watsonias, tree ferns 
and palms on the family estate at Inverewe on the northwest coast of 
Scotland, a site curiously warmed by the Gulf Stream off shore, in his 
book, "!00 Years in the Highlands.'' So it is all a matter of relativity. 
Lakemont Gardens has one of the best collections of Crinums and 
Crinum hybrids in America today. Types for every location and every 
purse. Ideal for gardens and terraces, borders, pots and tubs in the 
South and for tubs and pots in the North..
