LACHENALIA 
Cape bulbs 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 pendulous, 
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. 
Small flowered forms have not been hybridized. 
The flowers are small and loosely borne in a taper¬ 
ing spike 8 to 12 inches high, and do not droop. 
Stamens and style in some varieties extend beyond 
the mouth of the flower.
