Pineapple Lily 
Interesting bulbous plants from South Africa. 
Large attractive foliage spotted purple on the 
back side. The numerous small whitish flowers 
are produced on the upper half of the stem 
and are surmounted with a rosette of leaves 
similar to a pineapple. They are greenhouse sub- 
jects except in the warmer sections of the coun- 
try. Grown in any kind of soil, and in sun 
or half shade. Deciduous. Don’t be alarmed if 
the bulb looks like it has been mutilated. The 
cluster of bulbs are joined together solidly and 
do not separate like other bulbs; so in cutting 
them up they will show great scares which will 
not injure the bulbs in any way. In planting 
cover the crown of the bulb one inch deep.

Fascicularia 
BICOLOR. A rare bromeliad with glaucus, 
yucca-like foliage having small spiney edges. The 
plant is terrestrial and grows equally well in sun 
or half shade, and eventually assumes a semi- 
spherical form of great size. This plant would 
be worth growing even if it did not flower, 
which indeed it does not very often condescend 
to do, but when in bloom the cone of reddish 
flowers in the center and the rosettes of leaves 
around it turned flame color is a sight to be- 
hold. Stock very limited. Delivery anytime.
