Mixed Six 80c, Doz. $1.40, 100 $9.00 
These beautiful bulbs from the Cape Colony (South Africa) are far too 
little known; they should be planted in late autumn and in cold d’s- 
tricts they must be covered with a thick layer of straw or leaves. They 
are splendid for southern states. There are few bulbs so lovely and 
graceful and those fortunate enough to live where the climate is mild 
should plant them by the hundreds. (
