CRINUM CAPENSE 



The great white Crinum of South Africa is a noble 

 Amaryllis, standing about 4 feet high ; several 

 umbels of pure white lilies are thrown up from the 

 bulb from May to November, according to the 

 amount of warmth provided. The plant is, how- 

 ever, nearly hardy, being dormant in winter, and 

 can be grown in any place free from frost. It is 

 most decorative in the cold porch, or in the house 

 when in blossom. Some of the varieties are flushed 

 with pale pink.
