(ISMENE CA It A THEN A GRANDIFIORA.) Those who are familiar with the true Giant Ismene cannot say enough in praise of its beauty and purity. The flowers are of very large size, like an Amaryllis, novel form of snowy whiteness, and are also exceedingly fragrant. It is really one of the most lovely of all the great Amaryllis tribe, having a peculiar grandeur which one can appreciate at signt, put cannot describe. Bulbs are large and strong and begin to flower in two or three weeks after planting, sending up tall flower stems, which bear several of its magnificent blossoms. As a pot plant it is grand, and as a garden bulb tieated line a Gladiolus it is one of the choicest of all flowers. Do not fail to try it. It will more than please you, for it is superior to the Bermuda Easter Lily. Large heavy bulbs, 20c each: 3 for 50c; 7 for $; 15 for $2-00*; or $10. per 100. Mbs. A. B. Coles, : klIdo not think you half extol the virtues of the Great Ismene, I buy one or two dozen bulbs of it every year and now have about 50. It is the most glorious flowering bulb seen in my garden. For pots, aJso. it is more satisfactory than any of the high priced Amaryllis. You will do people a kindness if you urge them to plant a good lot oi Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original John Lewis Childs (Firm); Henry G.
