For a riot of color we can give our unconditional recommendation 
to this little bulb related to Freesias. The flowers are cup-shaped, 
about an inch and a half across with each a combination of bright 
colors. The stems are stiffly erect and bear a cluster of these bright 
flowers. They prefer a sunny spot and revel in the bright sunshine. 
In colder climates they are tender and must be given the same treat- 
ment accorded to Freesias, being planted in pots or outdoors in late 
spring for summer bloom. They are bold enough in color and dwarf 
in habit to make excellent border plants.

LILIES for the Garden 
Lilies may be grown anywhere if planted in a soil that is well 
drained, deep and shaded from the hot sun. They like a cool root run 
and a generous amount of leaf mould. The bulbs are made up of a 
number of fleshy scales that would soon rot off if allowed to stand in 
a wet soil. Some gardeners plant them on their sides, others on a 
cushion of sand; in any event the whole problem revolves around good 
drainage. Lily beds should be dug deeply and the drainage 
placed in the bottom of a trench with an outlet if the soil 
is heavy. Upon this drainage place the soil. Plant the bulbs 
deep, about 8 to 10 inches. Once established they need only 
annual fertilizing, as a top dressing or mulch of well rotted 
manure.
