C. campanulatum. Belongs to the “Milk and Wine Lily” type. That is, the flowers 
are white with a bright rose stripe thru center. $1.00. Very large, $1.50. 
C. Cecil Houdyshel. Flowers deep rose pink. One of the best hybrids, all qualities 
considered. It has the same parents as C. Powelli but with C. bulbispermum as the seed 
parent. Instead of flowering only once, like Powelli, this hybrid flowers most profusely. 
One very large bulb has been known to give 12 or more flower scapes in one year. A 
large clump will give continuous bloom from spring to fall. 
An article in the Kansas City Star by Jack Romine, reported it hardy in that 
vicinity. Now there are many growing from Topeka, Kan. to Independence, Mo. If 
planted 6” or 8” deep (to bottom of bulb) and heavily mulched over winter it has 
survived 10° below zero temperature. Spring is the best time to plant this and all 
Crinums in the north. Thus they become well established before fall and are more winter 
hardy. Plant any time in the south. 
We offer several sizes. Smaller sizes will give a start but are unlikely to flower the 
first year. Prices: Small, $1.25; medium, a blooming size, $2.00; larger, $3.00. Jumbo 
bulbs in two sizes, $4.00 and $6.00. The latter will furnish a lot of flowers the first 
year. Keep this variety very wet at all times and its rapid growth and profuse blooming 
will surprise you. The $6.00 bulb weighs up to 3 or 4 lbs. If we fill your order we 
guarantee its winter hardiness. If killed by winter cold we replace with another or 
equal value of other plants. Our bulbs began to flower this year in March, a few flowers 
may be seen today Dec. 21.

Eucharis amazonica (or Grandiflora). Eucharist Lily. Star° of Bethlehem. First 
collected on banks of Rio Magdalena, Colombia, S. A. Thus are combined three Biblical 
names in the lore of this flower. There are 4 pure white, very fragrant flowers in an 
umbel with a cup in center. The beautiful evergreen foliage makes this always a 
decorative plant. Flowers are used in corsages and bouquets. 
Culture. For pots only. Soil, coarse, librous loam with coarse sand, granular char- 
coal, tablespoon of bone meal and a little cow manure added is usually recommended. 
We add peat and milled or even coarse sphagnum moss and get excellent growth and 
flowers. 
Because they need abundance of water when blooming, the drainage must be 
perfect. Use 5” pot. Feed with Spoonit or manure water except when resting, shaded but 
plenty of light and some sun is needed to develop flowers. Frequently they flower very 
soon after potting. If they do not, induce good growth for several months until offsets 
appear and pot is well filled. Then dry them off, giving only enough water to prevent 
entire loss of foliage. After a few weeks rest, water once or twice. If they do not flower 
the rest was not long enough or the growth before was not sufficient. From 2 to 4 crops 
a year may be had. They are tropical plants and 65° is the best minimum night tempera- 
ture. We offer best and Jargest imported bulbs we can get, about 2” diam., at $2.00. 
Started plants in 5” paper pots, $2.75 postpaid. 
Elisena longipetla. Very rare and lovely Peruvian amaryllid. It is related to the
