ONE OF NATURE’S PLANT FREAKS 
The AFRICAN LILLY 
Blooms without earth or moisture in the 
winter time, and attains its maximum de¬ 
velopment in about thirty days, sometimes 
to the remarkable height of ninety inches 
with a calla like shaped lily fourteen inch¬ 
es in diameter at opening with an enor¬ 
mous spadix thirty-six inches long. The 
stem is green and mottled with white spots. 
The lily has a combination of red colors, 
and blooms about two weeks each year 
after the bulb is four years old. It has no 
foliage while in bloom. 
AN ORNAMENTAL PLANT 
The African Lily bulbs produce a very 
attractive palm like appearing plant. Dur¬ 
ing the summer the stem is straight and 
slender, green in color, mottled with white 
spots; the leaves are green, small in size, 
with a lace edging. The plant makes a 
beautiful and rare addition to any home 
or garden; they grow any place in the sun 
or shade. 
The one year old bulb grows a plant 
about one foot tall. 
The two year old bulb grows a plant 
about two feet tall. 
The three year old bulb grows a plant 
about three feet tall. 
The four year and older bulb grows a

They make this growth in about thirty 
days after coming out of ground.
