BABIANAS. 



RARIAIVA A charming genus with leaves of the darkest 

 1J/"»LM'»1^I*»« green, thickly covered with downy hairs, and 

 bearing showy spikes of flowers, characterized by their rich self 

 colors or the striking contrast of very distinct hues in the same 

 flower; they vary in color from the richest carmine to the bright- 

 est blue, many of them being sweet-scented. As they are not 

 hardy north of Washington, should have the protection of a cold 

 frame. They are very successfully grown in pots. Five or six 

 bulbs in a five-inch pot make lovely and useful specimens.
