Hymenocallis Harrisiana. True Spider Lily. The large snow-white flowers have 
very long, narrow petals which with the exserted stamens give them a spidery appear- 
ance and a delicate charm. The contrasting very dark green foliage adds to the beauty 
of the plant. The species is rare in cultivation tho it propagates freely by seed and bulb 
offsets. Plant in garden in early spring or pot in January. Can be shifted to garden after 
flowering. This is one of the few deciduous Hymenocallis. Culture like Ismene. Bulbs must 
be dug and stored over winter like Gladiolus and Ismenes in the north. Price $2.00. 
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. See also their close relative, Elisena.

beautiful and most desirable. $1.00. Large $1.50.
