Exquisite little Crocus-like, bulbous flowers (ord.

 houses. Propagation, by seeds, or offsets when the 

 bulbs are at rest. Soil, sandy loam. Plant 'A" or 

 4" deep, and protect from slugs.

TEESDALIA. 



Two species of hardy, white-flowered annuals 

 (ord. Crucifera?), not worth growing in the garden.

 showy to warrant a place in gardens. Irnperati, 

 the Tree Orpine, is occasionally met with. 



TELFAIRIA. 



A genus of stove plants (ord. Cucurbitaceae).

from which a useful oil is extracted by pressure. 



Propagation, by cuttings, under a bell-glass. Light, 



rich soil.
