which consist of the smallest mimbcr 

 of basal leaves, lose all their leafage be- 

 fore they are placed in pots. No change 

 in handling is necessitated by this loss, 

 these bulbs being j)otted and treated 

 precisely like the others. 



A most remarkable thing is the sub- 

 sequent loss of leafage by the plants as 

 they grow in the greenhouse. Those 

 plants which are in the form of rosettes 

 when repotted will in a few weeks be 

 seen to lose their lower leaves gradually, 

 so that bv Christmas there will lie but 

 little of "the field leafage left. Of 

 course, the leaves in this case ;iro from 

 bull) scales. The loss nVver simulates 

 wilting or any other ajjparently un- 

 healthy condition, but looks simply like 

 a gradual ripening process. 



This loss of leafage is by no means 

 confined to the scale leaves. The same 

 loss takes place in the stem leaves of 

 those plants which were in a more or 

 less advanced stage of stem develop- 

 ment when repotted. The lower leaves 

 gradually ripen and dry up in the same 

 way, often leaving naked a few inches 

 of the stem at the surface of the pot. 

 This leaf loss takes place even when 

 the plants have not been subjected to 

 frost in the field. 



Treatment After Repotting. 



The plants are repotted from the field 

 in all stages of development, from a 

 rosette of basal leaves only to plants in
