(Zephyr Flowers, or Fairy Lilies.) Beautiful dwarf bulbous plants, somewhat resembling the Crocus in appearance; very effective for planting in the border in May, flowering with great profusion during the summer.

As a pot plant for the cool conservatory or window garden this is one of the most satisfactory and easiest to grow; the clumps or roots should be put into pots or pans just large enough to hold them, as soon as received in November, given a thorough watering and set outside in a sheltered position and covered with ashes or litter. For Easter flowering bring them into the house from eight to ten weeks in ad\ance of that dale. For the best results keep them cool and give plenty of water. Also very desirable for the hardy border, blooming outdoors in June, and prefer a partially shaded position. Gladstone.

The plants form very symmetrical, bushy speci- mens, and are remarkably free-flowering, a single clump pro- ducing from 25 to 40 large snow-white trusses; forces very easily. (See cut.)
