One of the loveliest and must desirable bulbs. The flowers are nearly 2i inches in diameter, of a pure waxy white color, and usually borne in pairs; the petals are thick and leathery, of great substance, and will keep for days when cut and placed in water. The foliage is slen- der. It is a flower that will attract attention wherever grown. Each bulb will often throw up several flower stems, and always one, even under the most unfavorable circumstances. The bulbs will improve from year to year.

To its many good qualities it adds the charm of regularity of growth, forming compact pyramids densely covered with bloom, giving to the plant a very attractive a])pearance. It makes an admirable pot plant, and for winter forcing stands far ahead of all other varieties. 25 cts. each.
