Ismene. Their large, very fragrant, white flowers are very desirable for cutting and 
are seen often in florists’ shops. The flowers are about the size of daffodils and because 
there is a cup in the center, they are often called “Peruvian Daffodils.” 
Culture. They are hardy only in the south. With deep planting they may be grown 
as far north as the Carolinas, where they should be covered by 5” of soil and well 
mulched in winter. Probably safe to leave in the ground in Oklahoma. In the north, 
plant in the garden in early spring and after frost cuts down the tops, dig and dry the 
bulbs well, then store at a temperature over 55°. If too cold in storage the bulbs will not 
flower and they may rot. Even in the south they must be covered by 4” of soil. Ismenes 
can also be grown in pots. 
Ismene calathina. Type variety. 35c and 50c ea. 
I. festalis. An Ismene-Elisena hybrid. Pure white, no green markings. Long, narrow 
petals give great refinement and beauty to the flowers. No white Amaryllid is more 
elegant. $1.50. 
I. Sulphur Queen. Hybrid of I. calathina and I. Amancaes. Light yellow. Very rare, 
beautiful and most desirable. $1.00 ea. 
I. macleana. A very tiny Ismene on long stems. Probably the hardiest. 35c. 
I. Olympia. The giant among Ismene and it is magnificent. The huge flowers are 
tinted yellow when first opened. Bulbs become very large and propagation is slow, hence 
they are expensive. Price, $2.50. 
Ismene Collection. One bulb of each, 5 varieties, $5.25. 
Pancratum maritimum. A writer in Sunset calls this the Sea Daffodil. Foliage 
grey-green. Flowers pure white, very fragrant and resemble the Ismene. Tender, grow 
in pots in north. 50c. 
Sprekalia formosissima. Jacobean Lily. Orchid Amaryllis. Aztec Lily. Type variety. 
A well known, half hardy Amaryllid. Can be grown in pots or in the garden. In the 
far north, it can be dug and stored in the fall like Gladiolus. Bright scarlet, large flowers, 
somewhat orchid like in form. Seedlings vary in color. 50c. Jumbo bulbs, 80c. 
S. formosissima superba. A larger form. 50c and 75c ea. 
Tulbaghia violaceae. Small cousin to Agapanthus. Mauve flowers produced thruout 
the year, a true ever-bloomer. Foliage has garlic odor if bruised. An acquisition for pot 
culture. 25c ea. 5 for $1.00. $2.00 per doz. Delivery all year. 
T. fragrans. This much larger species has a large, true bulb, with glaucous green 
foliage, 18” long and 1” wide. It has no allium odor. The plant is a profuse winter 
bloomer in a cool room, with a few flowers in summer. It was introduced to this country 
only a very few years ago. It has larger, more fragrant flowers than violaceae in the same 
color. Evergreen. Since it increases rapidly the bulbs are a good investment for dealers 
or for plant exchanging. $2.00. Delivery all year.
