Tfye Great Isnjepe. (Ismene Calathena Grandifiora.) Those who are familiar with the true Giant Ismene can- not say enough in praise of its beauty and purity. The flow- ers are of very large size, like an Amaryllis, novel form and 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 sight, but cannot describe. Bulbs are large and strong and begiir to flower in two or three weeks after planting, sending up tall flower stems, which bear several of its magnificent blos- soms. As a pot plant it is grand, and as a garden bulb treated like 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 super- ior to the Bermuda Easter Lily as a flowering bulb. 20c. each; 3 for 50c.: 7 for $1. oo; 15 for $ 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.
