ALLIUM 
A large family of bulbs that has until recently been 
little known. However, through the efforts of The 
American Horticultural Society and from the many 
articles appearing frequently in their official bulletin, 
“The National Horticultural Magazine,” a great deal 
of interest in this group of bulbs has been aroused. 
The flowers are borne in large umbels and are very 
beautiful, the blooms often being fragrant. Clumps of 
a dozen or more bulbs will form pleasing patches of 
color in the border. Excellent for naturalizing or for 
the rock garden. Once established, no further care is 
required and in a short time will form large colonies.
