A BURBANK HYBRID TIGRIDIA. 



This is one of many interesting varieties of Hybrid Tigridia that 

 Mr. Burbank has developed. The plants are spotted and not striped, 

 yet there does seem to be something tiger-like about this richly 

 caparisoned and oriental-seeming specimen. It is rather curious to 

 reflect that the spots on the flower are intended to make it con- 

 spicuous, whereas the striped coat of its namesake is calculated to 

 make the animal invisible in the jungle.
