which open in succession, tlius remaining decorative a long time. It may be planted out of 
doors in May, and when in bud potted up for greenhouse or sitting-room decoration.

X WATSONIA (Bugle Lily), very ornamental and showy bulbous plants, which may be grown 
in pots for the cool greenhouse or be planted outdoors in a warm sunny situation. The 
plants must be supplied with abundance of water whilst in growth and flowering. 
Ardernei, the Large Snowy White Bugle Flower of South Africa, a most lovely plant 
for pots in cool greenhouse, or for sunny warm situations out of doors ; in summer it throws 
up graceful branching spikes 3 to 4 ft. high, with very elegant glistening snowy white 
flowers of great substance. If the top spike is removed when the flowers are fading the buds 
on the lower spikes rapidly develop, and a decoration is thus maintained for two months. 
When the plants are in full growth the pots should be kept in saucers of water. The plant 
can be easily grown outside a sunny window if the bulbs are potted up in Spring. We 
recommend Spring planting, and book orders for supply from March to April ...per doz. 7/6 o 8
