Erythronium Californicum 
Fritillaria recurva 
Eucomis 
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 scars which will 
not injure the bulbs in any way. In planting 
cover the crown of the bulb one inch deep.
