These magnificent flowering bulbs are closely related to Amaryllis and Pan- 

 cratium; are of easy culture.

 as to soil. Flowers in umbels, very large and showy, striped white and carmine, 

 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Exceedingly choice and desirable. Very large bulbs, 

 50 cts. Add 5 cts. for postage. 



Kirkii. Beautiful fine sort. The flowers are large, pure white, with a reddish pur- 

 ple stripe on the outside of each petal, which, showing through, gives the 

 flower a pink tinge on the inside; some ten to fifteen of these large flowers are 

 produced at the top of a tall, purple spike, and have frequently two or more 

 spikes of bloom from the bulb during the season. In addition the foliage is 

 very handsome, the numerous wavy-edged leaves forming a perfect rosette. 

 This plant has created a sensation wherever seen. Very large bulbs, 75 cts. each. 

 Add 5 cts. for postage.
