(Arabian Star of Bethlehem) 
A very showy and distinct species, bearing 
racemes of white flowers with a black centre, 
having a sweet aromatic odor; grows 1 to 2 feet 
in height, and succeeds in cold frames or in 
sheltered locations outdoors in the vicinity of 
Philadelphia. Also excellent for forcing, and 
of the easiest cultivation. (See cut.) $1.25 per 
doz.; $8.00 per 100. 
Ornithogalum Lacteum 
(Darling Chinkerichee) 
This variety of recent introduction from South 
Africa has been given much publicity on account 
of its wonderful keeping qualities. It is claimed 
that a spike blooms for 100 days from the open- 
ing of the first flowers. Forces very readily, 
therefore should become popular for growing in 
pots or pans during the winter and early spring 
months. The blooms are pure white and are 
borne on stems 14 to 2 feet high bearing 50 and 
more blooms. Can readily be grown in cold 
frames or outdoors at Philadelphia if protected.
