ing and used by florists for cut- 
ting. The large clusters of 
white flowers keep in condition 
for several weeks. The plants 
are one to one and one-half feet 
high, with long, rather narrow 
leaves and loosely spreading 
umbels of star-shaped flowers. 
This variety of Allium may 
also be successfully grown out- 
doors if well protected, and in- 
doors it makes a beautiful bul- 
bous plant. 
Place four to six bulbs in a 5-inch 
potin well-drained, sandy loam, and 
start into growth at once. In potting, 
place a little charcoal or broken 
pottery for drainage, then fillthe pot 
with soil and shake it down but do 
not packit. Plant the bulb just deep 
enough so that its top will not show. 
Keep in the full sunlight and when 
the plants start give plenty of water.
