A Note From "The Hoe.”
Fritillarias for Charm
Although fritillarias. are rarely seen in our gardens, their charm entitles them to every consideration. Natives of the temperate zone, they are admirably suited for New Zealand conditions. They owe their charm to their distinctive flowers,, which are bell-shaped and drooping. Many are of remarkable brilliance, and all tire hardy and easy to grow. J know of few more beautiful sights than a group of crown imperial (fritillaria imperialis). This variety grows with astounding rapidity, and produces stalks four and five feet in height which bear circles of colourful bells surmounted by crowns of glossy green leaves. Bulbs are best planted in early autumn. Choose a semi-shad-ed position and give them the same treatment as you would a choice lily. -
