Kratzeri speciosum album. Very deli- 
cately beautiful pure white form of Specio- 
sum. It is a little dwarfer, as a rule, than the

mand full sunlight for it languishes i in shade.

80 cts. each; $8 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
Large bulbs, 8 to 9 in. circum., 
60 cts. each; $6 per doz.; $45 per 100. 
Melpomene speciosum. A darker form 
of Speciosum rubrum and requires the same 
treatment. In this variety the petals are 
almost solid dark crimson-pink.

Regale (Royal Lily). This is the most 
easily grown of the white trumpet Lilies, and 
one of the handsomest. The flowers are enor- 
mous, glorious waxy white, suffused with 
yellow in the throat, and have bright yellow 
centers and the outside marked with dull 
purple. Its blooms are produced in clusters of 
two to a dozen or more and are deliciously 
fragrant. The plants are very wiry and 
slender, and should be grown in such a way 
that they may lean forward toward the sun; 
along the top of a wall or in rock clefts are the 
best places. Ree Das: 100
