72 THE LOVETT COMPANY, 



A superb flowering bulb; a veritable leviathau among the Amarrllis. A native of Zanzibar, but hardy and 

 robust enough to thrive and bloom magnificently in the open groimd dm'ing summer. The bulbs attain gigantic 

 proportions and may be lifted at the approach of frost and stored in a di-y place, free from frost, dm-ing winter; 

 or better still, kept permanently in large pots, which can be plunged out in a moist and pai-tially shaded ijlace in 

 summer. The foliage is very ornamental, being of the form and size of com blades; deep green in color with 

 waved edges, and disposed in the form of a symmetrical rosette. The beautiful lily-like flowers are borne in huge 

 umbels of a dozen or more on dark pm*ple stems, eighteen to twenty inches high. The individual flowers are of 

 the size and shape of those of the well-known Madonna Lily (Lilium candidxnn) and are pm e white, ^vith a broad, 

 crimson-purple stripe down the centime of each petal. Taken all in all this is one of the finest bulbs cultivated.
