OTHER PLANTS GROWN BY NORWOOD GARDENS 
BILLBERGIA These very unusual 
plants come from South America. 
They require lots of moisture in 
their growing. The cup formed by 
the leaves should be kept full of 
water thru the summer. They grow 
in the open shade in the Southern 
States and make very nice pot 
plants in the colder sections. Of all 
the plants this is the most unusual. 
The stems are pink or red while 
the flowers are green edged with 
blue. The Meades Hybrid blooms 
for us thruout the summer off and 
and on.

ISMENE calathina Often called the 
Peruvian daffodil. Large white

viving the winters in Northern 
Texas but they should be mulched 
this far North.

LIRIOPE muscari We offer the Ma- 
jestic series a Russell strain. This 
will grow in shade or full sun and 
is quite hardy up to the Northen

low growing clean foliage makes a 
nice border and in the late summer 
it is topped off with large plume 
like flowers resembling the popular 
Grape Hyacinths. 
Good size blooming plants, 50c 
each or 5.00 doz. 
NERINE BOWDENII These very 
little known bulbs are one of the 
nicest pot plants available. They 
are only hardy to 26 degrees so will 
require a lot of protection but it is 
well worth it. They bloom from 
August till mid-January. The fo- 
liage dies back then the bloom stalk 
appears about 18” tall with umbel 
of 10 or more flowers 9” or more 
across in a rich reddish pink color. 
These require an acid type soil.
