As the lower tiers pass out of bloom the upper flowers open, at 
which time secondary ,buds make ready to repeat the cycle. Pastel 
overlays and tints make Flamingo glow like a jewel in the sun. 
Delicately scented, rich yellow-orange shading to salmon-orange with 
a trace of pink, its petats’ are broad, overlapping, of wonderful sub- 
Stance and recurve slightly at the tips. 
Flamingo is not only lovely. It remains happy even under abuse if 
such conditions develop. It flowers from a small bulb; it increases at 
an unbelievable rate; it withstands drought; it is suitable for pot cul- 
ture and can be gently forced; it is an excellent cut flower. It is a 
rugged American hybrid of Asiatic- European ancestry. 
If your border has a difficult warm or dry spot, light it with Flam- 
ingo, or put it in partial shade always at a depth of at least 6 inches. 
‘Take the increase every second or third year. 
Early June flowering. Height 20-26 inches.

“RADIANCE” 
Radiance is the magnificent sister of Flamingo—as large in every 
way, aS fragrant, and as flaming as a Spanish fire ritual. Brilliant 
red over tangerine, spotted maroon at the bottom of giant cups, 
the arrangement still remains open and graceful. Radiance multiplies 
rapidly, is as robust and vigorous, as drought resistant as Flamingo 
and is of the same parentage. 
Plant it with Flamingo in full sun or partial shade at least 6 inches 
deep and divide every two or three years. 
Early June. Height 3 feet.

has been popular on two continents for years.

easily managed anywhere—in the sun, light shade or in the shrubbery.

be lifted and separated when crowding becomes apparent.
