ety, it builds up a avonderful spike of bloom, 
only the color is different, a silvery, greyish 
])ink aadtli a ])lum colored blotch. A distinc- 
tiam coloring. Alost of the Aadgnon offered 
for sale originated avith Errey in Australia, 
but it also occurred at al)out the same time 
i]i our oaam gardens at Hayavard, California. 
Our strain is identical except for the coloi- 
of the bulbs and ave think the ])lacement of 
the florets on the stem is more perfect.
