LEUCOCORYNE IXIOIDES ODORATA—The lovely Glory of 
the Sun, a rare treasure from the hills of Chile, the most 
charming of all bulb flowers for the winter window. The 18 
inch stems each carry several very large and starry soft blue 
flowers, with undulate petals and white centers. The blos- 
soms dre intensely fragrant and particularly long-lasting. 
At its best it is wonderfully good, but it is only fair to 
mention that at times the bulbs fail to flower the first year. 
Fortunately this delay in blooming is rare, and it is a delay 
only, for such bulbs almost invariably flower the second year.
