and penduhi. Their treatment Is exceedingly simple, and may 

 be detailed in a few words. 



Pot the bulbs which are not large in No. 2 pots, three bnlbs 

 in a pot. This should be done in September; the soil should 

 be a mixture of peat and sand, three parts of the former and 

 one of the latter, with a very small quantity of leaf mould 

 added. Select good sound bulbs for flowering, and pot tiie 

 small offsets by themselves; give a good drainage to the pots. 



After they liave all been planted, remove the pots to a 

 frame, where they will have the light, and not be exposed to 

 the cold autumn rains. Keep them in this situation until No- 

 vember, or when the nights become quite frosty, giving very 

 little water, just sufficient to keep the earth moist. At that 

 time they may be removed to the parlor or green-house, placing 

 them in a light situation, and watering them cautiously until 

 they begin to grow. Tn February the flower stems will ap- 

 pear, when more water should be given, though with care: the 

 flower stems will now shoot up, and in the course of a few 

 weeks will be beautifully in bloom, remaining so for two or 

 three weeks, and much longer if they are kept in a partially 

 shady place. 



In May, when the foliage has done growing, and begins to 

 turn yellow, the pots may be removed to the open air for a few 

 weeks, when the bulbs should be taken out of the pots, and 

 laid away in a dry, cool place, until wanted for planting again 

 in the autumn.
