Though entirely distinct from each other, we class these 
three line bulbs'together, as their habit is somewhat alike. 
They can all be grown either as pot plants or in the open 
ground. They are very effective when grown m chimps or 
masses and are very profuse and long blooming. Exceed¬ 
ingly fine for cutting. Gems of real grace and beauty. . 
Bessera Eiegans— Mower stems from one tp two feet nigh, 
bearing loose umbels of beautiful, drooping scarlet and 
white flowers. A charming bouquet flower. Few flowers 
present such graceful beauty, while growing in a nat¬ 
ural state or when cut, as does Bessera Eiegans. 
Cyclobothra Flava— Narrow grassy foliage and a constant 
bloomer. Flowers bell-shaped, bright yellow dotted 
brown.: Very graceful and in every respecta perfect gem. 
Milla Biflora —The flowers are pure waxy white, two inches 
in diameter, star-shaped. 1 and usually in pairs on long 
slender stems. It ,is beautiful, especially for cutting. 
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this lovely 
flower. It pleases everyone and should be grown very 
largely. This charming flower is exceedingly popular 
for florists’ use, and the demand for the blossoms is 
great. The blooms frequently last two weeks when 
cut and placed in vases of water. It is a perfect gem.
