the bulb planting, fill in first with well-composted manure, then with 

 about an inch of sand, or perhaps better two or three inches of fresh

 by mulching with well-rotted manure. Will thrive in sun or partial 

 shade, but the ground should always be kept cool and moist either by 

 shade or by a top dressing of peat or leaf mold. 



Propagate best by bulb-scales which, if separated as soon as the fohage 

 begins to turn in August, will send up leaves before winter; by offsets, or, 

 very slowly, by seed.
