ISMENE CALATHINA. 



Ismene calathina, which, by the way, 

 IS allied to the pancratium, is one of 

 the most useful and beautiful of white- 

 flowered stove plants. Bulbs which 

 have been rested during the winter 

 months may be shaken out and started 

 into growth. A suitable compost to 

 grow them in should consist of two 

 parts fil?rous loam, one part leaf-soil, 

 and one part old hotbed manure, with 

 t>. liberal addition of charcoal and sand. 

 Clean, well-drained pots should be ready 

 and should be of different sizes, accord- 

 ing to the size of the bulbs. Pot 

 firmly, and keep the apex of the bulb 

 level with the surface of the soil, and 

 give a sprinkling of sand to finish it 

 off. Give a good watering, and place 

 the plants in a house with a tempera- 

 ture of about 60 degrees allowing a 

 rise by sun-heat. 



Water very carefully until the pots 

 become full of roots, but keep well 

 damped with the syringe, and also give 

 a sprinkling overhead on warm, sunny 

 clays to encourage growth. Ismenes are 

 quick-rooting plants, having large, 

 white, fleshy roots, and if good results 

 are expected, should not be allowed to 

 become potbound, or, as far as my ex- 

 perience goes with them, they will not 

 flower. Therefore I would recommend 

 them to have plenty of pot-room, and 

 when the roots have reached the crocks 

 give them a shift into a larger sized 

 pot, taking care not to injure the roots 

 in doing so. A slightly rougher com- 

 post may be used for the last potting, 

 with the addition of a little good fer- 

 tilizer. Do not confine the plants to a 

 close atmosphere, but give air on fa- 

 vorable occasions, or they will become

weak End drawn and will not throw 

 such fine flower-spikes. 



Diluted manure-water may be given 

 with advantage about twice a week, and 

 occasionally a sprinkling of artificial 

 manure will be very beneficial. When 

 the flowers begin to open remove the 

 plants to a cool, dry greenhouse, and 

 give clear water. The plants last a 

 considerable time in flower when al- 

 lowed to grow under cool conditions at 

 the finish, and are much more scented 

 than when grown in strong heat. 

 After they have finished flowering cut 

 off the flower-spike and stand the 

 plants where they can be v«ell looked 

 after. They should still be fed lightly, 

 as this will help them to develop new 

 bulbs ond offsets. As the foliage turns 

 yellow gradually withhold water, and 

 eventually dry them off altogether. The 

 pots may be laid on their sides under 

 the greenhouse stage during the win- 

 ter, providing it is not too wet. — Gar-
