Ornithogalum 
Aureum 
Golden Chincherinchee of South Africa 
Illustrated on . . . Front Cover 
The Golden Chincherinchee is a remarkable flower; as a cut-flower it will keep in water for a 
month, and as a pot-plant will bloom for three months. When these amazing characteristics 
are more widely known, it will become a universal conservatory subject. This attractive 
apricot-orange flower has risen from practical South African obscurity to first rank amongst 
greenhouse bulbs. 
Gardeners who sceptically gave this WONDER PLANT a trial were enthused and surprised 
at the results attained. It has measured up to all that has been claimed for it. 
Makes an ideal vase decoration when combined with Statice. Blooms at the same time as 
the delightfully fragrant Leucocoryne (see back cover). 
Grow in a temperature of 55 degrees and treat the same as Freesias. May be had in flower 
from Christmas on.

Ranunculus 
Produce beautiful Camellia-like flowers of unusually attractive colors; excellent cut-flower. 
Indoors: Easily grown if excess heat and moisture are 
avoided. When potted, don’t water until the 
plant appears, then sparingly. Grow in a cold 
house. 
Outdoors: Plant in shady place in Fall or Spring, latter 
preferable, in a bed containing large propor¬ 
tion of sand for good drainage. For Winter pro¬ 
tection cover lightly with salt hay; avoid peat 
moss or leaves which produce dampness.
