O'XALIS DE'PPEI CULTURE. Plant bulbs of this 

 in pots at the beginning of March, and shelter in a cold 

 pit or greenhouse. When all fear of frost is passed, 

 plant them in a light soil, and in a southern aspect, 

 about 12 inches apart each way ; or the bulbs may be 

 kept out of the ground altogether until the middle of 

 April, and then be planted at once in the open soil. It 

 should be trenched, and a little manure turned in with 

 the bottom spit, as for other tap-rooted crops. The 

 scaly bulbs, from which it is propagated, grow in a cluster 

 round the crown of the root. The only cultivation re- 

 quired is to keep the crop free from weeds, and to water
