Puschkinia Scilloides. 
(The Striped Squill.)

Saunomatum Guttatum. 
(Monarch of the East.) 
Produces out of the dry bulb without water or soil, a beautiful 
coloured flower spathe 16 inches long. 
A highly remarkable beautiful bulbous flower attracting immediate attention. The only 
treatment required is to simply place the large flat round bulb on a table or shelf in a warm room 
or greenhouse; very soon the bulb begins to show a head, and within a few weeks a curiously 
formed flower 16 to 18 inches long develops. The flowers which are spotted dark red 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 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 fid. 
Schizostylis Coccinea. 
Like a miniature Gladiolus, flowering from Autumn to Winter, blooms rich scarlet ; a fine 
plant for borders or for forcing in pots ; contrasts finely with Chrysanthemums, and a gem for 
cutting. Will grow in any light soil. Per 100, 3/-: per doz., fid. 
Sparaxis. 
These flower earlier than Ixias, but require similar treatment. In habit they are dwarf and branching, but compact, therefore 
very suitable for pots. The colours are very bright, and in some varieties most gorgeous. s. d.
