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. 
Gold Star (Ornithogalum Aureum). Clus- 
ters 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 wonder- 
ful cut flower, lasting three to four weeks. 
3 for 45c; Dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 
Gold Star Hybrids. Larger and taller than 
Ornithogalum aureum, blooming later, 
from April to June. Flowers are bright 
yellow to orange red. 3 for 45c¢; Dozen, 
$1.50; 100, $10.00.

cum). Large clusters of starry, paper-like 
flowers, with jet black centers, charming 
for cutting. Hardy and very prolific,

dazzling scarlet flowers with prettily revo- 
lute petals, borne on graceful slender stems.

Spring Snowflakes 
Leucojum Vernum. Charming spring flowers 
that resemble Lilies of the Valley—small 
white bells, tipped green, on slender 
spikes. These flowers, easily grown, make 
a delightful substitute for Lilies of the 
Valley. Plant them in groups in the bor- 
der, or use them as low edgings where 
they will remain permanently and bloom

Stately Lilies 
The tall, stately lilies with their masses of fra- 
grant bloom have a charm not surpassed by any 
other flower. All gardens should have groups of 
lilies scattered throughout, in fern beds and other 
shaded spots. Around pools they make a wonder- 
ful display.

A grand and showy new lily that is easily 
grown either in sun or shade. Resembles

beautifully marked with amber brown dots.

stems that need no staking, crowned with 
great clusters of bloom. Everyone should try 
this lily. 3 for 55¢; doz. $2.00; 100, $15.
