a bulbous plant, the interest shown in the few 
plants in our garden and the demand for a sup-

loving plant that blooms in the winter, for the 
21 
Lent season out of doors and for Christmas in- 
doors. The foliage is like that of a peony, to 
which which it 1s related, and the large nod- 
ding flowers are white thru all shades of pink, 
lavendar to purple. The flowers age to a lovely 
shade of green and stay on the plant for sev- 
eral weeks. They are very attractive when made 
into corsages. Delivered any time, in miuxture
