Spider Lily or Ismene. They are natives 
of tropical and sub-tropical America. In 
the mild climates they may be planted in 
a moist, sunny location in the garden and 
left undisturbed for a number of years, but 
in cold sections they should be grown 
either in the glasshouse or lifted out of 
the ground after the tops have frozen and 
stored away till next spring. Plant about 
6 inches deep. The flowers are large, 
about 4 on a stem, highly fragrant and 
beautiful. Delivery December to March.

Ixia 
South African bulbs with numerous 
showy flowers on stiff, tall, wiry stems and 
with tall, grassy foliage. The flowers close 
at night, but even when closed are deco- 
rative, and are greatly in demand for ar- 
rangements. Cultural requirements are the 
same as for Freesia or Gladiolus. For best 
results they should be planted close to- 
gether in groups of 12 or more. In warm 
sections they may be left in the ground 
for years. Delivery September to Decem- 
ber.
