Tills deservedly popular family cannot be too 
highly recommended. The ease with which they 
are cultivated and the gorgeoasly beautiful 
flowers they produce at almost any season, make 
them most desirable in any collection. By 
gradually drying the bulbs they can be put to 
rest at any time during the year, and then when 
required, if started in a gentle heat, they quickly 
develop their large Lily -like blossoms, which are 
of various colours, generally embracing crimson, 
white and red, scarlet, rose-flaked, striped white 
and ciimson, ivith various shades of colours.
