TIGRIDIA or SHELL FLOWER 
Blossoms like brightly lighted, triangular, winged shells, 
such as might be found, but probably never are, along the 
coral strand of some southern sea. These are bulbs of 
easiest culture, growing readily from seeds sown in shaded 
open ground seed-beds in spring, and sometimes even flow¬ 
ering first season from seed if grown thriftily enough. The 
bulbs should be dug in late autumn, and carried over 
winter in the cellar, packed in dry loam or sand. *euftrbk.

TRIADENUM VIRGINICUM—ernmath(3) 18. While this 
plant is far from spectacular, it has such complete balance 
and finish throughout that it will appeal to those who see 
beauty in approach to perfection, rather than in gaudy 
color-spreads. The blossoms are of the silkiest of pinks, 
laid over with silvery haze, but they are not large enough

toxicate. Pkt. 20c.
