The flowers are trumpet-shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delightfully fragrant. The bulbs should be potted in early fall in rich soil, and the pots plunged in â sand, where they should be allowed to remain until the approach of cold weather. The freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly remarkable; even the smallest bulbs blooming freely. Fine bulbs, 5 to 7 inches . â . Extra bulbs, 7 to 9 inches Mammoth bulbs, 9 to 11 inches ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM (Arabian Star of Bethlehem) A very showy and distinct species, bearing racemes of â white flowers with a black center, having a sweet aromatic odor; grows 1 to 2 feet in height, and succeeds either out- doors or in pots. Excellent for forcing, and largely used by florists for this purpose. Of the easiest cultivation. 5 cts. «ach; 30 cts. per doz.; $ per Each Per doz. P
