Zephyranfhes (Zephyr Flower) 
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 thorough¬ 
ly introduced. When once grown they are al¬ 
ways grown, for they are 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 in. pot and they will bloom 
beautifully For the garden plant in Spring and 
lift them in the Fall, like Gladiolus.
