ORNITHOGALUM 
Arabian Star of Bethlehem 
7706 Arabicum Clusters of fragrant, star-shaped 
white flowers, 1 in. across, with a glistening black, 
bead-like center. Grows 1% ft. high. Excellent for 
growing indoors in pots. If you live in a mild or 
moderate climate, plant bulbs 6 in. deep and 6 in. 
apart in any good well-drained garden soil. In moder- 
ate climates where the soil is likely to freeze during the 
winter, cover planting with a 4 in. layer of leaves, 
strawy manure or litter after the soil has become 
frozen. We do not recommend outdoor planting of 
ornithogalum in very cold sections. Not hardy.

basal leaves from which arise very slender stems bear- 
ing heads of showy little star-shaped waxy blooms in 
yellow, white, blue, lilac and purple. Grow 15 to 20 in.

garden. Plant bulbs 2 to 3 in. deep, 3 to 4 in. apart and 
protect in cold sections after the ground has become 
frozen. May also be grown indoors during the winter.
