76 HOME FLORICULTURE 



adapted to basket culture because of the spread- 

 ing and drooping nature of their foliage. In spring, 

 withhold water and let the foliage die off. Do not 

 disturb the tubers until October. Then shake them 

 out of the soil, repot them, water well, and they will 

 soon start into growth. They will begin to bloom 

 about the first of January and continue to do so 

 until May.
