THIS lai-ge and important order of plants contains many of the most showy and brilliant g-reenhouse plants 
known. They are mostly bulbous, and free and satisfactory in bloom with but a minimum of attention. 
Some of the species are peculiarly adapted to house culture, thriving to perfection in an ordinary window, 
and presenting their brilliant flowers in winter and earlj' spring. We have many rare si)ecies, and grow them to 
great perfection at our tropical nui'series in Trinidad. The beautiful new hj'brids ai'e fine for early forcing.
