Gloriosa rothschildiana

Gloriosa 
Glory Lily 
Charming climbing lilies from South Africa. 
Plant the long, finger-like tubers horizontally 
four inches deep in light sandy soil enriched 
with humus. They will grow in full sunlight but 
will appreciate light shade. They will climb on 
strings or wires about three feet or more high. 
They bloom in the summer and become dormant 
in the late fall, when the tubers should be very 
carefully lifted out of the ground, stored away 
in a warm place over the winter. If grown under 
glass they can be rested for a short time and 
started again. Winter and Spring delivery. 
NEW SALMON. A newly discovered species 
not yet identified, and we are fortunate to be able 
to make it available to you. It is rather low 
rowing compared with the others, but well 
ranched, free flowering. The flowers open lemon 
yellow and soon develop a bright salmon color, 
which covers the whole flower. Very delicate and 
exquisite. Here is something really outstanding 
and rare. $4.00 ea.,-3 for $10.00. 
ROTHSCHILDIANA. This is the standard 
form so popular for its large flowers of brilliant 
yellow and red, long-lasting and fine corsage 
flower. $1.50 ea. 
SUPERBA. The flower of this species is much 
like Rothschildiana in color but the segments 
are very frilled and sharply reflexed, $1.50 ea. 
Heliconia 
SPECIES. A tropical plant allied to and rfe- 
sembling the banana in foliage, but growing only 
to a height of about six feet. The red and yel- 
low flowers resemble Strelitzia in form but very 
numerous on the stem. It will withstand several 
degrees of frost. We have not identified the 
species but it is the easiest of all Heliconias to 
grow. Delivery anytime. $5.00 per rhizome. 
Hesperantha 
STANFORDIAE. A_ charming cape bulb, 
which requires the same treatment as Ixia. Bright 
clear yellow flowers. Height 114 ft. Fall delivery.

Haemanthus katharinae 
Haemanthus 
A race of amaryllids from South Africa very 
varied in their habits, appearance and flower. 
They all will do well in sandy soil and in half 
shade. Well suited for pot culture and are uni- 
versally admired. 
ALBIFLOS. Wide evergreen leaves that al- 
ways attract attention. The late summer is_ its 
blooming season when clusters of closely packed 
white flowers appear on flexuous tall stems. Plant 
with over half the bulb above the soil. De- 
livery anytime. $1.50 ea. 
COCCINEUS. (Blood Lily.) A very unusual 
species producing annually two large leaves 
which lie flat on the ground. In late spring the 
leaves die down and the flowers are up before 
the new leaves in the fall. The heads of flowers 
are blood red with orange anthers, followed 
with purplish berries. Will bloom equally well 
in open sun. Summer delivery. $2.00 ea. 
KATHARINAE. The most gorgeous of the 
haemanthus and one of the most spectacular of 
all bulbous flowers. The leaves are palmate and 
decorative, nearly evergreen. The two foot stem 
rises from the base of the leaf stalk and carries 
a large umbel of scarlet flowers in the summer. 
There is nothing like it in beauty and novelty. 
Delivery January to April. $6.50 ea. 
Hyacinth 
ROMAN. These are charming cut flower va- 
rieties that make loosely formed and small flow- 
ered slender stems in great profusion. As is ex- 
pected, they are very fragrant and long lasting 
when cut. If left undisturbed for several years 
they form large clumps that make a charming 
picture when in bloom. We can supply it in 
blue only. Fall delivery. $2.00 doz.
