MOREA POLYSTACHYA 
This is very much a favorite of ours, for either 
a late autumn garden showing, or as a pot 
bulb that responds rather readily to gentle 
winter forcing. The blossoms, carried on thin 
wiry stems in big open sprays, are shaped 
like butterflies, soft mauve, marked with rich, 
dark Parma violet, and with bright yellow inset 
at base. The inner segments are pure lavender.

these bulbs sufficiently for a good return. From then on it's 
like milking the cow. These remarkable bulbs can be kept 
alive in dry storage for one full year. In Europe the flowers

ORNITHOGALUM 
Showy bulbs, some for the garden, others for pot culture. 
Arabicum (Giant Summer Ornithogalum). A spectacular 
garden bulb-flower to be given Gladiolus culture and han- 
dling throughout. From handsome rosettes of glossy, chan- 
neled leaves rise sturdy stems, from 2 feet in young flowering 
bulbs to as much as 3 feet in older ones. The stems end in 
great flower clusters that open successive buds Over a period 
of months. The blossoms have large waxlike petals of 
creamy white about a center-boss of olive black. Long 
lasting when cut; strikingly decorative in the garden. 
Thyrsoides. Clustered, fragrant blossoms of pure white on 18 in, 
stems. An easy, beautiful bulb-flower for winter pot culture. 
Aureum. Fine pot bulb, a Thyrsoides in rich orange. 
Nutans. Hardy, dwarf rock garden bulb with white flower- 
clusters in early spring. 
Spirale. Tall, spiral spikes of little green-keeled white 
flowers. Bulbs of this will seem flabby, but that's their nature. 
Umbellatum. Hardy bulb. Dense clusters top 1 foot stems, 
the flowers small, starry white with green keel.
