3 AGAPANTHUS or 
AFRICAN LILY 2 
Great umbels of glorious trumpet-flowers, 
spread to starry form. Waxy petals, ame- TANGUTICUM 
thyst to indigo, or rarely white. The bloom is carried on stems 
that range between 25 and 60 inches in height. First year of 
blooming there may be only a few flowers but the second year 
up to 30 or more in the blue, and on a single stem of the 
Giant White we have had as many as 160 blossoms. Agapan- 
thus grows readily from seed. It may be handled as a large 
pot plant, and will force for winter bloom, but usually it is 
grown out of doors in summer, and carried over winter in a 
semidormant condition, in a light cool cellar. Illustrated page

foliage. Exceedingly free blooming, and just right size to
