Lachenalia Pendula. 



LACHENALIAS. 



This beautiful genus of 

 half-hardy bulbs is com- 

 paratively new in this 

 country, owing, no doubt, 

 to the prohibitive price. 

 The few specimens ex- 

 hibited at horticultural 

 shows created quite a sen- 

 sation owing to their pro- 

 fusion of bloom and their 

 bright diversified colors, 

 as well as their ornamen- 

 tal foliage. Of easiest 

 growth : can be had in 

 bloom by Christmas and 

 last for a very long time.

 sea-green and purple. 20

OXALIS.
