the Amaryllis tribe from. Brazil. It sends 
out stalks bearing several pure white 
flowers 4 inches across and delightfully 
fragrant. May ibe brought to bloom at 
various seasons by partially drying out

the easiest thing to bring the flower, but

are surmounted by a leafy bract similar to 
the top knot of a pineapple. It is from 
this leafy crown that the name is sug¬

in the rock garden; but should be treated 
as a house plant in the East. 1.50
