LACHENALIA READY IN SEPTEMBER 



If wanted by mail, add 5 cts. per doz. for postage 



Very pretty, spring-flowering, greenhouse bulbous plants of elegant habit and with brightly colored flowers. 

 They should be grown in pots, four to six bulbs in a 5-inch pot, in a compost of two parts loam, two parts leaf- 

 mould and one part each of peat, sand and well-rotted cow manure. Apply but little water until growth is 

 somewhat advanced, but give more freely as the foliage develops; give them plenty of light and air and keep 

 near the glass to ensure sturdy growth. Lachenalias are also excellent subjects for hanging baskets.

Hardy, summer-flowering bulbous plants that are becoming 

 more popular every year. Their brightly colored flowers are borne 

 on long, graceful spikes in the greatest profusion, and they are 

 most valuable for cutting and general decorative purposes. They 

 should be planted in groups and left undisturbed. Ordinary gar- 

 den soil and a sunny position suit them. The following are the 

 handsomest and most distinct varieties.
