I'LORAL CURIOSITY 
The magnificent fio-si ers 
of this remarkable plant, as 
shown in the illustration, 
actually comes out of the 
dry bulb, without its being 
placed in soil or water. 
The only treatment it re- 
quires is to simply place 
the large, flat, round bulb on 
a table or shelf in a warm room 
and very soon it liegins to 
show a head, and within two 
or three weeks a 
Most Curiously Formed 
Flower 
16 to 20 inches long develops, of 
a red-brown color tipped with red 
and jellovv, while the inner part 
of the flower are equally as bril- 
liant, entirely different from any 
other flower known, thriving en- 
tirely upon the nourishment con- 
tained within the Imlb. Alter 
flowering, the bulb should be 
placed in the open ground, where 
it throws up elegant dark green 
umbrella-shaped foliage on a stout 
stalk, spotted with a granite-like 
color, and sometimes reaches a 
height of three feet, which itself 
forms a fine ornamental subject in 
the garden, particularly when 
planted in May or June in a moist 
or sheltered place. In the autumn 
the leaf fades, when water 
should be lessened, and as soon 
as it has died olT, the bulb 
should be lifted out of the soil, 
cleaned up, and placed in a dry 
condition in a warm r<,om, 
wheti the previous years' dis- 
play may be repeated.
