BUL 



[ 160] 



BUP 



Every bulbous - rooted plant has its 

 management given in its proper place ; 

 but there are a few rules of general ap- 

 plicability. They should be moved, 

 where necessary, whilst in a state of 

 rest ; this occurs to the summer -flower- 

 ing bulbs in autumn, and to the autunrn- 

 nowering in spring. Many require to 

 be taken up annually, or at farthest 

 every second or third year, to remove 

 the accumulated offsets. No bulb should 

 be kept long out of the ground, and even 

 during the time it is necessarily so kept, 

 it should be prevented from drying by 

 burying it in sand.
