This magnificent genus of plants has in the last few years become very popular, both for decorating the conservatory, green¬ 
house and for window-boxes. They are also admirably adapted for planting in the open ground. 
They do best in a partially f haded situation, especially where protected from the heat of the afternoon sun, and it the ground 
is well enriched will not fail to please the most fastidious. As soon as all danger of frost is past in the spring the plants or bulbs 
can lie set out in the open ground. 
In the fall after the growth is finished, take up the bulbs and keep them in a warm, dry place, either in sand or charcoal, and 
in the spring they can be again set out. 
Our collect ion comprises over fifty of tho best and most distinct varieties, including over twenty-five of 
the new Brazilian sorts. 
A description of the wonderful combination of colors aud beautiful blending of shades in these plants is impossible. In some 
the leaves are bright red with darker veins; some have a delicate rose colored center, shading off to white; others are pure white 
and so transparent that writing held beneath the leaf may be readily deciphered through it. Many varieties arc as brightly 
colored and as delicately beautiful as flowers. A bed of these grand plants will not disappoint you. 
If the bulbs are started in a green house in February and potted frequently while in growth, they will make a most magnifi¬ 
cent display in the house until all danger of frost is past in thespring, when they can he set in open ground if desired. Otherwise 
by having the plants repotted as needed they can be kept in growth in greenhouses continuously until October.
