Crinum erubescens. Fragrant and 
free-flowering 
A. UMBELLATUS. 2 to 3 ft. 15°. Ever- 
green foliage with heads of beautiful blue 
flowers on 2 to 4 ft. stems. June flower- 
ing. $1.00 each. 
A. UMBELLATUS MOOREANUS. 
Dwarf form of the above but the foliage 
is deciduous and the plant is hardy down 
to zero. Good plant for rock gardens and 
for planting near pools. $1.00 each. 
AMARCRINUM HOWARDI. (Garden 
Hybrid.) 30 in. 15°. This beautiful plant is 
a hybrid of Crinum Moorei and Amaryllis 
Belladona. The foliage is handsome and 
evergreen. The Crinum-like flowers are 
silvery pink and come in the summer and 
fall. One of the finer bulbs for Southern 
gardens. Mix a liberal quantity of bone 
meal with the soil before planting. Any 
good soil in sun or part shade. Delivery 
anytime. ¢2.50 and $3.50 each. 
CRINUM. Crinum Lily. Mik and Wine 
Lily. 2 to 6 ft. One of the finest and most 
satisfactory of all the bulbs that may be 
grown in Southern gardens. They are 
very long-lived and easy to grow. In the 
Deep South they are often found growing 
luxuriantly around old abandoned homes 
and in old cemeteries where for years 
they have had no care whatever. In such 
places, too, you will find several forms 
of old-fashioned roses, Crape Myrtles, 
Flowering Quinces, Day Lilies and a few 
other plants. Most kinds of Crinums have 
attractive, evergreen foliage. At different 
seasons of the year they send up long 
spikes bearing from a few to twenty or 
more large lily-like, fragrant flowers. 
They prefer a rich, moist soil but most 
of them will grow in any soil and under 
most adverse conditions. Plant in sun or 
part shade with about half the bulb above 
ground. Most of them are entirely hardy 
south of the Red River along the Texas- 
Oklahoma line. In the Upper South give 
a protective mulch of peat moss or leaves. 
In the North they may be grown in large 
pots. Delivery any time.
