MILLA BIFLORA, MEX,CAN ^fVs-t flower. 



A beautiful Mexican summer-blooming bulb. A group of them is always 

 in flower after the middle of summer and very attractive. Flowers star- 

 shaped, 2 inches across, clear waxy-white, of great substance, enlivened by 

 a frost-like sparkle: the fragrance is delightful. Place a stalk in water 

 and the flowers will all open; we have seen 11 stalks shoot up successively 

 from one bulb. The bulbs flower profusely and with great certainty. Height 

 12 to 18 inches. For an effective display, groups of 12 to 25 or 

 more should be planted about 6 inches ai">art in a sunny bed.

 showy of summer-flowering bulbous plants. A 

 dozen or more bulbs planted 6 inches apart in a 

 group in a sunny position and allowed to remain

 across, producing, in great numbers, graceful 

 spikes 8 to 12 inches long, each spike bearing 

 from 18 to 30 exceedingly showy star-shaped 

 flowers, 1\ to 2 inches across. They flower 

 freely the first season, but clumps of 2 or 3 years' 

 standing are required to bring out their great 

 merits. (See cut.) Montbretia mixed hy- 

 brids. Price, 5c. each, 50c. doz., $3.00 per 100.
