HYACINTHUS CANDICANS (THE GREAT SNOW-WHITE SUMMER-FLOWERING HYACINTH). 
This is perhaps the most ornamental of summer-flowering hardy bulbs; it attains a height of 3 to 6 feet,

border as it is for the conservatory. Flowering bulbs, per too. 13/ & 21/; per doz., 2/6 & 3/6 ; each, 3a!. & nd. 
TIGBIDIA, THE TIGER-SPOTTED FLOWER. 
No flower is more gorgeously coloured than the Tigridia. The petals are self-coloured, while the petaloid 
stigmas and the cup of the flower are superbly tiger-spotted, producing a remarkable contrast between 
the lower and the upper part of the flower. From August to November, in our Experimental Grounds, we had 
beds of T. grandiflora flowering from roots planted during May and June. The individual flower of 
a Tigridia lasts one day, but from the same scape comes a series of blossoms continually replacing each other, 
and thus maintaining a succession for a long time. Plant March, April, May, or June. each— s. d'
