 ground to a height of two or three feet, developing an umbel of 

 large and beautiful lily-shaped flowers three to four inches across 

 and from eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink shaded 

 with clear blue. As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any 

 protection if can be planted either in the fall or spring. Cover 

 the crown about four inches. Price, strong blooming bulbs,
