The varieties of Oxalis are usually started in a 

 sunny window, as they require a strong light. Like 

 the summer bloomers, they increase rapidly and need 

 considerable root room. The Bermuda Oxalis is 

 lovely in a gourd hanging-basket; indeed, a hanging- 

 basket, or bracket, is the only suitable arrangement 

 for it, as it loves to droop and spread itself, and re- 

 quires abundant room for its wealth of golden flowers. 

 When through blooming it should be allowed to ripen 

 its foliage. It may then be set in the cellar, or a cool 

 place, until September, when the bulbs should be 

 shaken out of the pot and repotted; one bulb to a 

 four-inch pot. 



Bulbs of hardy plants may be ripened off, and in 

 the spring planted out in the open ground, where they 

 will bloom the following spring, but are valueless for 

 forcing in the house.
