A great interest has lately been taken in these magnif- icent bulbs, and the demand for them is rapidly increasing as people learn what grand bloomers they are, and how easily managed. Since we first catalogued them. North- ern dealers have awakened to their great value and beau- ty and we supply them with the bulbs of C. Americanum, C Kirkii (?) and C. Fimbriatulum (Milk and Wine Lily) by thousands. Unfortunately C. Kirkii (?) is being offered under a variety of names, among them C. Kirky, C. Orna- tum and C. Nobiie. But no matter what it is called, it is one of the loveliest and sweetest of all flowers. A stately and magnificent plant, and undisputed Queen of Bulbs. This new Crinum, lately discovered in Arabia and in- troduced into cultivation, is one of the most valuable of recent introductions, and certainly one of the finest of all the known species of Crinum. Our cut conveys a fair idea of the general appearance of the plant, but no idea whatever of the great beauty of its flowers, which are very large and produced in immense umbels. They are silvery white, with rosy stripe and red buds, sweet scented and droop gracefully. In addition to the great beauty of the flowers, it is an everbloomer, repeatedly producing new flower stalks—usually two at a time —whether grown in pots or in the open ground in summer. It is an exceptionally hardy sort, which insures its successful cultivation ixnder a variety of conditions, and we can heartily recommend it to our patrons with every assurance of its giving perfect satisfaction. Having imported a considerable quantity of the bulbs, we are able to offer them at a low price, consid- ering their rarity. Fine flowering size bulbs, postpaid, $ each.
