Rain Lily. 



(Cooperia Drummondl.) 



Each. Doz. 

 A very pretty plant for winter blooming in 

 the house and, although not considered 

 quite hardy in this latitude, the bulbs 

 may be kept dry over winter and planted 

 in the garden in spring, where a succes- 

 sion of bloom may be had from a clump 

 of them, from May to September. The 

 flowers are deliciously fragrant, pure 

 white, star shaped, with long tubes, and 

 measure from one inch to one and one- 

 half inch across. It derives its name 

 "Rain Lily - ' from the fact that it re- 

 mains constantly in bloom during rainy 

 weather 5 50

 on the lawn. Plant in September or October. Any
