This is from the Cape of Good Hope: 
it was introduced in 1779. It flowers in 
the month of June, and the blossoms are 
very rich and beautiful. 
Though usually preserved in the green- 
house, it thrives very well in a border a 
foot wide, along the front of a stove. The 
soil should be sandy peat. The bulbs pro- 
d J 
increase themselves.
