Ismene 
Peruvian Daffodil 
A race of amaryllids with large, pure white 
flowers that are very fragrant, and are useful 
both for garden ornament and for cutting. They 
are hardy only in the South, but may be lifted 
and stored away over the winter after the first 
killing frost. Plant the bulbs six inches deep, in 
a sunny situation and keep well watered as long 
as the leaves are green. Winter and spring de- 
livery. 
CALATHINA. This is the common variety 
which resembles a white daffodil. 75c ea. 
FESTALIS. This is a cross between the above 
variety and the graceful Elisena longipetala. 
This latter parent gives it greater height and 
long, spidery petals and sepals. 3 ft. Blooms in 
July, a month later than the above. $2.00 ea. 
Helleborus 
Christmas Rose 
ORIENTALIS HYBRIDS. While this is not a 
bulbous plant, the interest shown in the few 
plants in our garden and the demand for a sup- 
ply has been so persistent that we have decided 
to offer some for sale. This is a hardy shade 
loving plant that blooms in the winter, for the 
Lent season out of doors and for Christmas in- 
doors. The foliage is like that of a peony, to 
which it is related, and the large sedding flow- 
ers are white thru all shades of pink, lavender 
to purple. The flowers age to a lovely shade of 
green and stay on the plant for several weeks. 
They are very attractive when made _ into 
corsages. Delivered any time, in mixture only. 
$1.50 ea. 
CORSICA. Very distinct species with stiff tri- 
parte leaves on tall stems and yellowish green 
clusters of long lasting flowers. $1.50 ea.
