7706 Arabicum Clusters of fragrant, star-shaped 
white flowers, 1 in. across, with a glistening black, 
bead-like center. Grows 1% ft. high. Excellent for 
growing indoors in pots. If you live in a mild or 
moderate climate, plant bulbs 6 in. deep and 6 in. 
apart in any good well-drained garden soil. In moder- 
ate climates where the soil is likely to freeze during the 
winter, cover planting with a 4 in. layer of leaves, 
strawy manure or litter after the soil has become 
frozen. We do not recommend outdoor planting of 
ornithogalum in very cold sections, Not hardy.
