A highly remarkable beautiful bulbous flower attracting immediate attention. T he only 
treatment required is to simply place the large flat round bulb on a table or shelf in a warm

on yellowish orange-red ground, are entirely different 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 expanded foliage, which itself forms a fine subject in the garden, 
particularly when planted in May in a moist and sheltered place. 7/6 per doz., 9d. each.
