3 THE ACIDANTHERAS 
From Ethiopia come these decorative summer-flowering 
bulbs, to be handled in garden and in storage exactly as one 
would Gladiolus. The long-tubed flowers are delicately frag- 
rant. Jllustrated above. 
BICOLOR—18 inches. Rich cream with patch of chocolate 
are the gracefully carried blossoms, these beginning in late 
summer and continuing through autumn. Bulbs firm, resem- 
bling those of Freesia. Spring delivery. 3 for 35c; 5 for 50c; 
12 for $1.00; 25 for $1.90; 100 for $7.25. 
MURIELIAE—24 inches. This differs from the last in being 
a bit larger in both plant and flower. The blossom is pure 
white here, and the starry throat-blotch is black maroon. This 
material may not be correctly named. It seems to be definitely 
an Acidanthera, while some botanists put Murieliae into 
Gladiolus. Bulbs, spring, 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00; 25 for $2.50.
