HESPERANTHERA STANFORDIAE—This is really a beauty. A 
rather rare South African bulb-flower that gives a display of 
brilliant, satiny yellow flowers in late winter when grown in pots. 
We like it, and displays of it at our nursery attract much favorable 
comment. Handle like Freesia. 3 for 50c; 7 for $1.00; 25 for $3.00. 
THE PARANA LILY—In April and May come charming trumpet 
blossoms of pure pink. It is Habranthus brachyandrus, a cousin 
of Amaryllis that blooms easily and freely when grown in pots. 
Bulbs suitable for forcing, each 40c; 3 for $1.00. 
THE CUBAN JACINTH—The most beautiful of bulb-flowers for 
pot culture when it is well-grown; that is 
our estimate of the Cuban Jacinth, Scilla 
peruviana. Rich blue blossoms are densely 
packed in pyramidal clusters to one foot 
of height. Showier, more massive, yet more 
graceful than a giant Hyacinth. Rich blue 
always. Usually grown as a pot bulb in 
window or greenhouse, but with some pro- 
tection it is reasonably garden-hardy from 
Philadelphia south. Illustrated opposite. 
Large bulbs, like those of Hyacinth. Each 
Toe3~3 for’ $2.00. 
STREPTANTHERA CUPREA-—Sprays of rather large flowers 
in a glowing, orange-toned copper, deepening to black-purple at 
center in an unusually rich effect. Same culture as Freesia. 3 for

MOREA POLYSTACHYA—tThe blossoms, carried on branching, 
wiry stems, are shaped like great butterflies, soft mauve, marked

TRITONIA CROCATA MIXED—Exquisite, sparkling pinks, soft 
salmons, apricot, flaming orange, scarlet. Blossoms of satiny 
sheen, carried in graceful sprays. As easy as Freesia, and to be 
handled in just the same way. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00. 
GLORIOSA ROTHSCHILDIANA—Glory Lily. Airy, recurved 
flowers in iridescent crimson, some- 
times gold-edged or _ rose-tinted.
