Seed Pods of the Crinum 



The seeds of the crinum show an extraordinary range of 



variation, some of them being small, whereas others are so 



large as to suggest miniature bulbs. The latter are so succulent that 



sometimes they sprout when lying on the shelf. On one or two 



occasions Mr. Burbank has had crinum seeds sent from a 



distance by mail, which sprouted en route. This is 



an interesting and very unusual peculiarity.
