 besides being most remarkable in size 

 and in beauty of the color arrangement, 

 which is a dainty lavender pink flamed 

 and dotted in crimson, This variety will

 summer-blooming bulbous rooted plants 

 can be grown successfully with ordinary

 until hate summer, when they should be 

 dried off, letting the leaves die. The pots 

 containing the bulbs or the bulbs them- 

 selves must be kept out of reach of frost 

 or severe freezing. They are natives of 

 tropical Africa, and are among the most

 proved by culture. See illustration.
