FLORAL CURIOSITY 
The* magnificent flov ers 
of this remarkable plant, as 
shown in the illustration, 
actually come3 out of the 
dry btilb, without its being 
placed in soil or water. 
The only treatment it re- 
quires is to simply place 
the large, flat, round bulb on 
atableorshelfin a warm room 
and Tcry soon it begins 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 yellow, while the inner part 
of the flower are equally as bril- 
liant, entirely diflferent from any 
other flower known, thriving en- 
tirely upon the nourishment con- 
tained within the bulb. After 
flowering, the bnlb should be 
placed in the open groimd, 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 off, the bulb 
should be lifted out of the soil, 
cleaned up, and placed in a dry 
condition in a warm room, 
when the previous years' dis- 
play may be repeated.
