IXIA 
These charming flowers 
from the Cape of Good Hope 
are deservedly becoming very 
popular in the garden, and 
for cut flowers. They are admirably adapt¬ 
ed to basket work, and also are fine for 
planting in the rockery. 
The brilliantly colored, star-shaped 
flowers are borne in spikes on long, slen¬ 
der, wiry stems. They are easily grown, 
and should be freely planted. 
Unlike the German Iris, the Spanish and Dutch Iris are 
grown from bulbs. They are easily raised in full sun or partial 
shade.

(Leucojum vernum) 
These dainty little snowflakes bloom very early mak¬ 
ing a fine display of dainty pendant flowers, which are 
white, tipped with green. They should be planted in 
masses or clumps, and are wonderful in the rock gar¬ 
den where they can be left alone to bloom year after 
year. The flowers are also desirable for cutting.

GLORY OF THE SUN

Chile. The heads of large star-shaped flowers, lovely 
blue with white centers, are carried gracefully on wiry

flower and as easily grown as the Freesia. The supply 
of bulbs is now very limited, but it will be in every 
garden when better known.
