California Flowerland 
African Star Flowers 
Ornithogalum 
These showy flowers are of easiest culture, always sure 
to bloom, and are remarkable for their keeping qualities, 
both in the garden and as cut flowers. 
Give them a sunny position in ordinary soil with good 
drainage, and cover the bulbs two to three inches. 
Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum Arabicum). Large 
clusters of starry, paper-like flowers, with jet black 
centers, charming for cutting. Hardy and very prolific, 
blooming at Easter. Dozen, 75c; 100, $5.50. 
Gold Star (Ornithogalum Aureum). Clusters of large, 
showy, cup-shaped blossoms of brilliant golden yellow, 
on stems about 12 inches high. Blooms continuously 
from February to May, and is a wonderful cut flower, 
lasting three to four weeks. 3 for 45c; Dozen, $1.50;

Scilla campanulata. Known also as Wood Hyacinths,

ing, for low borders and rock garden planting. Scillas

in masses or clumps, for the best effect. Growing, 12 
to 18 inches high, effective in clumps in the border, 
especially among Narcissus.
