Mr. "J. H. S.," New Haven, Conn., writes : "Zephyranthus Treatae sold by florists has small, scant foliage, and blooms at different seasons of the year; I have it in bloom now. It seldom has but one or two flowers open at once; increases readily from seed. Z. Candida if crowded in a pan will give as many flowers in August as there are bulbs, and is a useful and beautiful plant. I have seen another variety from Florida which I supposed was Z. Atamasco, but have never grown it".

[This note is useful as showing that some one has evidently given the name of "Candida" to a form of Zephyranthus Atamasco - a point as to which we had some doubts recently. The true Z. Candida of botanists is something else; and again, it shows that a Zephyranthus very different to the one described by Mrs. Treat originally has obtained wide circulation. - Ed. G. M].
