Johnsonii. "The Barbadoes Spice Lily." Congenial condi- 

 tions — climate and soil — prodace a strong-growing variety of Amar j'llis,

 shaped flowers of great substance, averaging 6 to 10 inches across, of 

 nch and glowing scarlet, intensified by a contrasting wide white stripe 

 through each petal. For pot culture in the -window, conserva- 

 tory or greenhouse they are well adapted and when in bloom in 

 the winter and spring months no flower can approach their beauty 

 ^spikes frequently produce 4 to 8 flowers each, and often 2 and 8 

 spikes are produced at one time. Extra large bulbs.
