6 large fragrant pure white flowers. One of the 
best bulbs for pot culture. Small bulbs 50c, 
larger $1.00.

the bulbs can be stored until spring like cannas.

which rises from the bulb. The flower clusters are 
6 to 8 inches in diameter and produce 100 or more

like fancy-leaved caladiums. A very different, 
rare and interesting novelty. $5.00 each.
