 true name, referring to the way the style bends 

 to one side away from the stamens. Stove 

 bulbs, except Nepulensis. Divisions of the 

 roots and seeds ; if by the former, take a pot 

 that has been kept dry all the winter, say in 

 March, turn it out, and separate the bulbs 

 carefully, without bruising them. Place each 

 bulb, with the end farthest from the old tuber, j 

 uppermost, in the centre of a clean pot, cover- I 

 ing it with an inch or two of soil ; the pot being i 

 five or ten inches, or any intermediate size, in ! 

 diameter, according to the size of the bulb 5 ; 

 peat, loam, leaf-mould, old cow-dung, and sand | 

 in equal proportions, with good drainage. Give j 

 no water until the bud appears above ground, 

 then water and place in a strong moist heat, j 

 growing vigorously, and training as the plant ' 

 proceeds. When done flowering, and the leaves ; 

 turn yellow, refrain from watering, and shortly ! 

 after turn the plants on their broadsides in a > 



dry place, and allow them to rest until next 

 season,
