CONKRD 



THIS ancient and aristocratic family, with its long line of distinguished posterity, is so well and 

 favorably known that descriptions are unnecessary, even were it possible for the pen or brush 

 to portray their almost savage beauty. They are hardy and of rapid and vigorous growth^ 

 and a bed of them, once established, becomes a permanent fixture fhat will long survive as a won- 

 drous and attractive feature of the garden. They succeed best if given a good, light, dry soil and a 

 sheltered location, such as the proximity of shrubbery or trees (if not too large and dense), or a 

 snug nook such as the angles of buildings usually aflPord. The bulbs should be planted about 6 or 8 

 inches deep. The varieties that we offer below are among the finest types, carefully selected with 

 reference to the demands for general cultivation.
