18 inches high, bearing erect spikes of large attractive flowers with 
oddly blotched cup-shaped centers. Few flowers are more gorgeously 
colored or so beautiful. Bloom from middle of July to September.

delicious, nutty flavor, as palatable as a potato. They are easily grown 
and keep better than potatoes. The Tigridia should be extensively 
grown in vegetable and flower gardens everywhere. Bulbs are planted
