Brodietea 
A race of handsome, hardy bulbous plants native to the western part of the 
United States. The leaves are few and grass-like. The naked (lower stalks are 
gracefullv slender, the flowers numerous in heads or umbels, and of a waxy texture 
and very lasting when cut. 
There is not a species without decided merits and some of them rank high 
among the bulbous plants of the world. 
No bulbous plants which can be mentioned are better adapted to the wood¬ 
land, rock work, and natural style of gardening now in vogue. When planted 
among ferns and perennials they are at their best, the tall stems gracefully 
carried above their hosts. A loose soil well drained, sums up their needs. They 
should be planted in the fall. 
The bulbs ripen hard, and can be kept without any particular care for 
months.
