scape or stalk about 2 feet tall, bearing from 3 to 
6 large fragrant pure white flowers. One of the 
best bulbs for pot culture. Small bulbs 50c, 
larger $1.00.

LARGE-FLOWERED GINGER. A very large 
type 18 to 30 inches tall, with canna-like leaves.

ers in close panicles at the base of the crown

the bulbs can be stored until spring like cannas.

Gliocriosa Rothschildiana. CLIMBING LILY.

which rises from the bulb. The flower clusters are 
6 to 8 inches in diameter and produce 100 or more 
bright red flowers. The tops die down in winter 
like fancy-leaved caladiums. A very different, 
rare and interesting novelty. $5.00 each.
