only July-October. They often do, but we do not guarantee 
Nerine bulbs to bloom the first season or until well estab- 
lished. We suggest purchasing 3 bulbs at a minimum and 
offer three bulbs for the price of two in each case.

LYCORIS SPECIES 
The genus Lycoris of beautiful flowering bulbs is gain- 
ing new devotees in America, and an ever-increasing number 
of amateur and fancier growers are gathering collections of 
the choice forms. They are for America’s gardens, at least 
in the lower South, what the Nerines offer in California. 
Fall blooming in most cases, or late summer, farthest South. 
We had the best showing of Lycoris at Lakemont Gar- 
dens last summer in many years and Mr. Sam Y. Caldwell 
at Nashville, Tenn., reports a similar good year. They are 
half-hardy bulbs (one species, L. squamigera, hardy North) 
which make their foliage in winter and die away in the spring 
or early summer. After a period of summer dormancy they 
produce their beautiful and almost fantastic flowers on strong 
slender stems in late summer and fall. 
We are growing most of the species offered below, and 
offer the rest subject to arrival on schedule from our Jap- 
anese nursery agent. Shipment July-December. Lycoris do 
best for us in sandy soil, fertilized well, weeded carefully. 
LYCORIS RADIATA—the old time southern Red Spider 
Lity, which passed for years as Nerine Sarniensis or Guern- 
sey Lily, Southern bulbs, $1.50 doz. 
L. RADIATA, Japanese bulbs, $1.50 doz. 
LYCORIS AUREA--the celebrated Golden Hurricane 
Lily of St. Augustine, Fla., also found around Gulf Coast to 
Texas, Southern grown bulbs, $1.50 each. 
L. AUREA, Japanese bulbs, 75c each, $5.00 doz. 
LYCORIS ALBIFLORA—from Japan, a creamy-white 
form of extraordinary beauty, close to radiata, $1.50 each. 
LYCORIS SQUAMIGERA (Magic Lily)—the hardy 
species, for North, 50c. 
LYCORIS INCARNATA—showy flesh-pink species from 
China, $2.00. 
LYCORIS “CALDWELLII’—a new, light yellow Chinese 
species, first bloomed at Nashville, Tenn., by Sam Caldwell 
the “Old Dirt Dauber” of radio fame, $2.50. 
LYCORIS “HAYWARDII”—a new Chinese species near 
Sprengeri, with bright blue petal tips, balance pink, $25.00. 
LYCORIS “TRAUBII”—new white species from China, 
$25.00. 
L. PURPUREA (?)—50c; L. SANGUINEA—50c; L. SAN- 
GUINEA var. MAJOR, $5.00. 
L. ALBIFLORA var. CARNEA, $1.50. 
We have the best assurance that the above species will 
be available next summer and fall from American and im- 
ported sources. It is impossible to guarantee bloom the first 
season as it may take two years to establish Lycoris bulbs 
to have them bloom well. They are worth the wait. 
THE “ARBORESCENT” PHILODENDRONS 
PHILODENDRON “FOSTERIANUM”—\ the first American 
hybrid, between two non-vining ‘‘arborescent” species, P. bi- 
pinnatifidum, and P. Sp. No. 1, (unknown). A superb pot 
plant, fine specimens for greenhouses, patios, sunrooms, con- 
servatories, $5.00, 4 to 6 inch pot sizes. Something NEW and 
EXOTICALLY DISTINCTIVE. Originated by M. B. Foster. 
* PHILODENDRON SELLOUM—rare self-heading, non- 
vining beauty, exotic patio and house plant, will stand light. 
frosts, $3.50.

heading “arborescent” types of the rare Brazilian Philoden- 
arons, now available in small vlants for the first time to the 
American public. Grown in Florida from imported and do-~ 
mestic hand-pollinated seed. 
ISMENES (PERUVIAN DAFFODILS) 
HYMENOCALLIS (ISMENE) NARCISSIFLORA—the old 
Ismene Calathina, or Peruvian Daffodil, in its improved vari- 
ety “ADVANCE”. This new name H. Narcissifiora, with top 
botanical priority has recently been assigned to this bulb by 
MacBride in his Flora of Peru (Chicago,, 1936) a delightful 
white flower with slender segments surrounding the large 
white corona or cup, $1.00 each, $10.00 doz. 
HYMENOCALLIS (ELISENA) LONGIPETALA—a fan- 
tastically beauiful species with long curving white segments, 
$3.00 each. 
HYMENOCALLIS SULPHUR QUEEN —a hybrid of H. 
Narcissifora and H. Amancaes, the only yellow species, pale 
yellow, $2.00 each. 
HYMENOCALLIS FESTALIS—a fabulous hybrid of H. 
Narcissiflora and H. longipetala, one of the most elegantly 
frilled and fanciful bulb flowers of all time, $2.00. 
The Ismenes are grown north as summer flowering bulbs. 
In the South we find them best grown in pots, raised beds 
or flats of very sandv loam. A mix of half coarse building 
sand and half leafmold and peat suits them.
