LEUCOCORYNE IXIOIDES ODORATA 
Glory of the Sun 
FAOAB LE: ink eRe ae Per 1,000 $_.--~ 
Our experience with Leucocoryne has not been such that we can offer 
any definite cultural instructions, However, we believe that the following 
suggestions may be of help in securing good results. 
Plant bulbs two inches apart and four inches deep in boxes or benches 
containing at least six inches of medium heavy fertile loam soil. Place 
in cool greenhouse, night temperature forty-five degrees, and provide 
maximum light and ventilation, Leucocoryne requires ample water and 
good drainage. This beautiful flower should be one of the most popular 
for greenhouse culture. It has strong wiry stems of good length, beautiful 
color, pleasing fragrance, exceptional keeping qualities, and blooms during 
February and March, Everyone should /earn to grow it successfully. 
ORNITHOGALUM

ARABICUM, pure white, black disk, excellent variety for cut flowers. 
AUREUM—South African Gold Star 
As a pot plant, it is very desirable for its long lasting quality. Plant in 
September and October, about one inch deep, three to four bulbs to a 
five inch pan, or five to six bulbs to a six inch pan. Soil should be a 
rich but porous loam. Place pots directly on the greenhouse bench in a 
sunny location at about Carnation temperature. Water very sparingly at 
start and increase as growth progresses. When growing well, liquid manure 
water will help growth immensely. Ornithogalum Aureum requires ample 
ventilation and will not do well in a close atmosphere. Usually blooms in 
March, April and May. Should be allowed to dry off gradually after 
blooming. Pots should then be placed on a shelf near the glass and 
allowed to remain there throughout the summer so that the bulbs will be 
thoroughly cured. 
SPIREA

perature about 65-75 degrees. Use plenty of water and be careful to keep 
the plants out of. any draft.
