IS a beautiful little annual, whose flowers
freely in the open border, but is impatient of wet
TZfl^? autumn, when, if it is taken up and re-
H^llt^^ M® greenhouse, it will continue to produce
Its pretty blossoms during- the early winter months.
It should be sown as a half-hardy annual in light

fi.; 1 Dr.Lindley quotes in describing
the plant, makes the following remarks with regard
to It: "The plant from which the above descrimion
was made, was cultivated in the stove, but I have
since found that others grown in a warm greenhouse
succeeded equally well, and had then- flowers quite as
high-coloui-ed. they seem to thrive in a light rich
i9am, and not too much water; I suspect it will
nnen seeds, and by them be easily increased. It is
a beautiiul bulbous plant.''
