Milla Biflora. — {Bulbs not ready until December ,) — One of the 
most beautiful of all bulbous plants. The pure white flowers are about three 
inches in diameter, the six petals arranged in a star-like or Triteleia form. 
“ MlUa blfiora for Cot Ploweri.— The flowers are nearly as large as those of a 
Eucharis, and snowy white. 'Diey last a very long time in a cut state. This plant grows 
naturally neu the city of Mexico, and the natives gather the flowers in the same way as 
we do our Primroses, and bring the flowers to market. In autumn they ^ould be taken out 
of the ground and kept dry, and planted again in the spring. Milla biflora delights in sandy, 
loamy soil ; it should have full sunlight and abundance of water ." — The Garden,
