This splendid plant is a native of the 

 Cape of Good Hope : it grows to the 

 height of about six inches, and flowers in 

 May and June : we find it to succeed best 

 in a border close to the front wall of a 

 stove, where it has the advantage of the 

 open air, yet is very rarely frozen : the soil 

 should be sandy peat It increases itself 

 freely by offsets from the bulbs, or by 

 seeds.
