ALSTROEMERIA

An elegant plant which belongs to the nearly hardy group referred to in
the notice of Ixia. In autumn it may be safely planted out in almost any
part of the United Kingdom, provided it is planted nine inches deep, and
can have a sunny position on a dry soil, for damp is more hurtful to it
than frost. As a pot plant it is comparatively useless, but if allowed
to remain several years in a dry border, a large clump of any of the
varieties presents a brilliant appearance when in flower.
