yellowish orange-red ground, are entirely diflerent from any other as to colouring and shape. 
After flowering, this bulb should be planted in the open ground, where it then throws up 
elegant dark green wide expanding foliage, which itself forms a fine subject in the garden, 
particularly when planted in May in a moist and sheltered place. Per doz., 5/-; each 6d.
