By availing ourselves of the modern method of 
cold storage we are enabled to supply forcing roots 
of this pretty decorative plant through the winter 
months. One advantage these retarded roots have 
over those handled in the ordinary way is the quick 
time in which the lowers are produced. We have 
seen dormant crowns put into strong heat and 
brought into beautiful bloom within three weeks, 
but we recommend six weeks as the average time 
for a perfect flower spike. 
MONARCH OF THE EAST. (As originally named and offered by us.) 
These roots are exempt from cur free delivery list. ( See page 191.) 
This remarkable plant exhibits one of those extraordinary traits in nature 
that few are able to understand, the magnificent flower actually comes out of 
the dry bulb without being placed in soil and water. The flower is of a red- 
brown colour, tipped with red and yellow, whilst the inner parts of the flower 
are equally as brilliant. Bulb needs only to be placed in some fancy receptacle, 
without water , in a warm room, or on the mantel shelf, when, without showing 
either leaves or roots the flower makes its appearance, thriving entirely upon the 
nourishment contained within the bulb.
