Hardy bulbs, 2 to 4 feet high, making a splendid display in the 
border in their brilliant orange and yellow colourings, the leaves 
being a vivid green, and rather like a gladiolus leaf. Any good 
garden soil well enriched will suit them, but not clay. Should grow 
in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered border to see them at their 
best. Plant the bulbs 3 inches apart and 3 inches deep. They 
grow well in suburban gardens under the shelter of walls. Some 
new and very beautiful varieties have recently been raised, the 
finest being Star of the East, with flowers 4 inches across, and at 
present at a prohibitive price.
