This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs, possessing 

 a peculiar grace of form, and its fragrance is most delightful, 

 one pot of five or six bul lis being sufficient to perfume a whole 

 house. As cut flowers they are extremely valuable; the unex- 

 panded blooms, opening in water, fill the air with the most deli- 

 late perfume, and their endurance is really remarkable. They 

 force very easily, and can be had in flower at Christmas, and 

 continue in succession until June. When potted these should 

 not be placed in a dark place, like most other bulbs, but should 



put directly in the light.
