CRINUM. Amaryllis Longifolium. 
A tribe of Lily-like plants, 
many of which are hardy in this 
country. Crinum Capense 
is one of the best and hardiest 
species ; it will thrive out of 
doors in a warm and sheltered 
situation in rich soil, and should 
be copiously watered in dry hot 
weather. All make beautiful 
flowering plants in the con¬ 
servatory during summer.

MONARCH OF THE 
EAST Photograph), 
A Curious Plant from Central Asia. 
(As originally named and offered by us.) 
This remarkable plant exhibits one of 
those extraordinary traits in nature that few 
are able to understand, for the magnificent 
flowers actually come out of the dry bulb 
without being placed in soil and water. 
The flower sheath sometimes reaches a 
length of nearly two feet, is of a red-brown 
colour, tipped with red and yellow, whilst 
the inner parts of the flower are equally as 
brilliant. The bulb of this extraordinary 
plant needs only to be placed in some fancy 
receptacle, without wafer, in a warm room, 
or on the mantelshelf, when without show¬ 
ing either leaves or roots, the flower makes 
its appearance, early in the year, thriving 
entirely upon the nourishment contained 
within the bulb. 
Large bulbs, 9d. each ; 7/6 per doz. 
Decorated China Bowls for placing these 
bulbs in, price, 6d., 9d., and 1/- each.
