LILIUMS AND OTHER BULBS 137 



Gladiolus Princeps. This is undoubtedly the largest and most 

 decorative Gladiolus in existence. The colour is 

 brilliant scarlet, each petal having a white stripe. 

 A superb flower for large decorative work. 



Gladiolus Brenchleyensis. This old favourite is still worth a 

 place in small collections, as the bulbs are very 

 cheap, and it makes a splendid show, either in the 

 garden or in a cut state, but I should not advise 

 any one to grow it if they have room for a collection 

 of the better ones. 



LESSER KNOWN BULBS OF GREAT VALUE 

 TO FLORISTS 



Alstrcemeria (Peruvian Lily) aurantiaca. Every one should 

 grow a few clumps of this hardy bulb in the her- 

 baceous border. 



Alstrcemeria, Chiliwisis hybrids. These are among the most 

 beautiful of all flowers for cutting. Their colours 

 bafHe description, and with care and attention 

 the bulbs increase year by year. The flowers last an 

 incredible time in water, and they are with us 

 at a time when this is a great point in their 

 favour. 



Amaryllis, Belladonna. One of the sweetest rose-pink flowers 

 in existence. (Cool greenhouse plant).
