ORD. Iridacew. A very pretty genus of bulbous plants 
from the Cape of Good Hope, having narrow, erect, Iris-like 
leaves, and flower-spikes that overtop the foliage, bearing _ 
numerous bright coloured flowers. Perianth tubular, six-cleft, 
unequal, upper segments longest; stamens three. They 
sare satisfactorily grown in a greenhouse, in pots, or planted 
out in a frame, under a south wall. They also thrive 
excellently out of doors, and should be planted 8in. or 
9in. deep for fear , or have a winter protection of + 
several inches of cocoa-nut fibre refuse or litter. The safer 
plan is to raise the roots, winter them in some dry part of 
the greenhouse ; but, previous to storing, divide the clumps, 
clean them, and re-plant or pot in February, or early in 
March. A mixture of equal parts peat, sandy loam, and leaf — 
soil is most suitable for their culture. Just previous to 
flowering, if in pots, frequent doses of weak manure water 
will be found beneficial. They may be rated by off- 
sets, which are produced in abundance, at almost any time. 
Seeds are sometimes procured, which should be sown so 
soon as ripe, in light soil, in a cool house, where they will — 
germinate the following spring, and will be fit to plant 
out in the summer of the same year. With the exception 
of A. Cunonia, they all much resemble each other, 
four or five species of this genus are worth cultivating.
