Beyond Ail Question One of tlie Most Beautiful 

 Flowers that Blooms 



Certainly among the handsomest of our summer flowering plants, pre- 

 senting as they do, such a variation of rich and exquisite coloring, equal to the 

 orchid in novelty and beauty. Tlie flowers are of handsome sliape and large 

 size, and a great variet.v of colors tliat are velvety in the depth and richness 

 of shading. The flowers often measure 3 inches in length and 2 in width, and 

 are upright and pendulous. They succeed well with ordinary care, and should 

 be grown in a moderately shady place, as rhe sun burns tlie foliage when wet, 

 causing brown spots to appear. Plant bulbs in a mi.xture of liglit loam, ma- 

 nure and .sand, equal 

 parts, giving but little 

 water until signs of life 

 appear. You will have 

 a succes.sion of bloom 

 from June to Septem- 

 ber, and words can- 

 not describe the rare 

 beauty of these flow- 

 ers to one w h o has 

 never seen them. 

 When done blooming, 

 dry gradually, and 

 keep in pots over win- 

 ter in a warm place.
