THE ORNAMENTAL ALLIUMS 
For border or rockery, nothing can be more delightful 
and unusual, than the bloom from these hardy bulbs and 
bulb-like plants. They are easily grown from seeds, flower¬ 
ing surely the next season, and enduring for years. Many

been in very good demand on the Covent Garden flower
