 inches in diameter, and pure waxy white ; they are borne in 

 pairs on slender rush-like stems, and as they are gently stirred

 in water will keep blooming for a week or more. 10 cts.

 duced in profusion and are deliciously sweet, emitting a 

 delightful cinnamon odor. Roots 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.;
