boiled and seasoned they have a delicious, nutty flavor, as palatable as a po- 
tato. They are easily grown and keep better than potatoes. The Tigridia

bretias are quite hardy and should be planted early in the spring, preferably 
in a warm, sunny location. They should be protected during the winter with 
a heavy covering of leaves, or can be taken up each fall and stored the same
