ACHIMENES 
They love light shade and a reasonable amount of moisture. In fact, 
they respond perfectly to treatment given Tuberous Begonias. They 
make charming beds of flowers where because of shade, flowers hereto- 
fore could not be grown successfully. In window boxes, in pots in the 
house, or conservatory, they are a constant joy. 
Blue Beauty Three 90c, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
A lovely plant for shady, warm places. Very attractive in the rock gar- 
den where it provides color all summer long. Equally good as an edger 
in shady places and excellent in window boxes which do not get much 
light. Achimenes are also easily grown as pot plants for the house. 
The tiny little rootlike bulbs grow into plants 12 to 18 inches long and 
require at least 12 inches square. 
ACIDANTHERA MURIELAE 
(Sweet Scented Gladiolus) 
A vigorously growing Gladiolus-like bulb which produces highly scented 
flowers in late summer. The fragrance is delightfully fresh and soft, 
yet insistent. A few spikes in a vase will make themselves pleasantly 
known throughout the living room. Flowers are white with brilliant and 
clear purple marking in centers, length of stem about 2 to 214 
feet. In mild climates the bulbs may be left in the ground where they 
will soon form gocd sized clumps. In colder sections, dig and store as 
Gladiolus bulbs. 
Three $1.25, Six $2.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Amaryl lis Hybrias 
Whether you grow them in the hotse or in the garden, these Giant 
Flowering Amaryllis produce truly magnificent blossoms. Even the 
amateur gardener can confidently expect expert results and with the 
least possible care and attention. Planted in a pot in winter, they 
bloom about 6 or 8 weeks later. You will have a succession of blooms 
throughout the winter if the bulbs are kept dormant and planted ten 
days or two weeks apart. March, April and May are the months to 
plant them in your garden and they will bloom during July and 
August as easily as Gladioli. From these lovely bulbs a vigorous stem 
shoots out, carrying 4 to 6 very large blooms. The colors range all the 
way from pure white grounds with varied markings of rose, red and 
crimson to the richest main colors of scarlet, crimson and bright red. 
We can supply them from November until June, but place your order 
today. We guarantee them to bloom for you. 
GIANT CALIFORNIA HYBRIDS

Great improvements have been made in Amaryllis culture in this 
country. Not only are the flowers bigger and of better form, but they 
have better and clearer colors. On our California nursery they 
are produced in greater quantity than ever before. Mass production 
always reduces price and we are passing this saving on to you. Try 
planting some Amaryllis in the garden when danger of real cold weather 
is past. Cover the bulbs with 3 inches of soil and see what magnifi- 
cent flowers you can grow. Amaryllis bulbs should be dug in the late 
fall and stored the same as Gladiolus bulbs. They increase in size and 
last for years.

superbly shaped and of mammoth size. Only a very limited number of

ROYAL DUTCH NAMED VARIETIES

and not from seed, hence are true to kind as well as color. This method of 
reproduction is slow and applied only to a very few of the ultra ultra 
choicest, largely used by experts and hybridizers as mother stock. There 
is nothing finer available in Amaryllis than those offered here. All have 
wide flaring, perfectly formed blooms.

HARDY AMARYLLIS. (See Lycoris squamigera, page 112.) 
AMARCRINUM 
The Amarcrinum, a cross between Amaryllis Belladonna and Crinum 
Moorei, has the appearance of a mammoth Amaryllis, but its color is 
an even frosty pink. Great trusses of flowers are borne on 3-foot stems. 
This American creation won the coveted Cory Cup of the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society of Great Britain. This amazing flower has a scent 
similar to that of the famous Dutch Hyacinth.

ANEMONE 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly brilliant when 
in flower and excellent for cutting. They like to be planted about 6 
inches deep in a cool, moist, but well drained soil. Will establish without 
any trouble and remain for years. For northern states we advocate 
early spring planting, for the southern section of the country, fall 
planting is best. Cover in winter with strawy manure.
