LACHENALIA 
Cape bulb new to this country but long known 
in England under the name of Cape Cowslip. 
These bulbs are especially useful for florists’ work 
as they can be grown in flats or in the field and 
shifted into pots or baskets when in full bloom. 
All of them do well out of doors in milder climates 
and are showy in beds, borders, and rock gardens 
and all are easily grown under glass. Culture 
similar to freesias. 
Large flowered forms have been hybridized. 
They have from one to two dozen generally pend¬ 
ulous, fire-cracker-like flowers, three-quarters to 
one inch in length on stems 6 to 9 inches and 
bloom from late November to February depending 
on the time of planting and the variety.
