asphodeli's rnr.ni rs. 



A native of the island of Crete. We 

 raised it from seeds received a few years 

 since from our friend Mr. Retberg, of 

 Florence. It is a hardy perennial plant, and 

 flowers in the month of June. The spikes 

 of blossoms will rise to two feet in height, 

 if planted in the ground, but not more than 

 half the size in a pot. 



It may be increased by dividing the root, 



spring, and will thrive in any good garden
