LAPEIROUSIA 
Anomatheca we have called it, but botanists 
outlaw that name. Anyway it is a highly desir¬ 
able free-blooming bulb, often flowering first 
year. Fine for pot culture, or may be grown in 
garden or rockery, storing bulbs in dry sand over 
winter. Usually winter-hardy below Washington.

THE ORNITHOGALUMS 
For quick and easy winter flowers nothing can 
excel the first four kinds below. They will bloom 
within a few months from seed, and they are 
really most attractive. Then, too, they make su¬ 
perb cut-flowers, lasting probably longer than 
any other. In the south, of course, they may be 
grown outside, but they are chiefly known as pot 
bulbs, north. echtx(or w)20. 
ORNITHOGALUM THYRSOIDES — The Chin- 
kerichee. Clusters of flowers that vary from 
snow white to cream primrose. Particularly good.

only distinction between this and O. thyrsoides.

1-16 oz. $1.25.

cies, splendid orange scarlet. Easy and free 
blooming. Pkt. 25c; spec. pkg. 60c.

den species, not a pot plant. Often fifty pure

THE DELIGHTFUL BABIANA 
Easy and quick bulbs with charming flowers 
in shades of pale and deep blue, mauve, violet, 
red, pure rose and golden yellow, with white and 
many unusual and striking bandings and mark¬ 
ings. Seedlings flower first year, blooming freely 
for a long time. Give Freesia culture in a s unn y 
window, or they will blossom in spring if win¬ 
tered in a frame. Ripen off the bulbs after flow¬ 
ering, and they will repeat the wealth of beauty 
year after year. Fragrant. erbhth(w)12. Pkt.
