The Zephyr flowers, or Fairy Lilies, are gems of rare beauty; and 
when planted either in pots or the open ground they produce very 
beautiful Lily-like flowers nearly all summer. Though some of the 
varieties are old, they are not generally known or seen in cultivation, 
owing to the fact that they have never been properly and thoroughly 
introduced. When once grown they are always grown, for they are 
one of the nrettiest and easiest; orm™ finra-erc if nnwi hi a to have 
one of the prettiest and easiest grown flowers it is possible to have. 
They are of a lovely section of the great and popular Amaryllis family. 
, For pot culture plant three or four in a 5 or 6-inch pot and they will 
bloom beautifully. For the garden plant in spring and lift them in the fall, like 
Gladiolus. _ We offer here several new sorts of great beauty, which makes a col¬ 
lection of six superb kinds. Those who plant them, either in pots or the open 
ground, will be delighted with them.
