basal leaves, forming a large rosette at 

 the surface of the ground at repotting 

 time. These are invariably vigorous 

 and productive. Each of these basal 

 leaves in seedlings tips a bulb scale, and 

 it is found that the plants which hold 

 back and build up a large store by the 

 development of an abundant, strong 

 basal leafage before throwing up their 

 flower stalks are the strongest and most 

 productive. 



The plants which have bloomed in 

 the field are exceedingly interesting 

 from the fact that they bear mostly 

 double-nosed bulbs, which when potted 

 will give at the second blooming two 

 stems bearing two to five flowers each. 

 Why this preponderance of double-nosed 

 bulbs occurs at this stage so prominently 

 in field-grown seedlings is not entirely 

 clear. The condition is more general 

 than in pot-grown plants, i. e., those 

 kept in pots in the greenhouse through 

 their first flowering. It looks some- 

 times as though the stem in the field is 

 of such great diameter as actually to 

 force a separation of one side of the 

 bulb from the other, thus compelling the 

 formation of two crowns for the next 

 season instead of one, as normally ob- 

 tains in bulbs of the same size devel- 

 oped vegetatively from small bulbs. 



Basal Leaves Are Brittle. 



In the handling incident to the trans- 

 fer of the seedlings from the field to 

 the pots some and frequently all of the 

 leaves are broken off, for the basal 

 leaves of seedlings, attached as they 

 are to the tips of the scales, are quite 

 brittle. There are, consequently, a 

 goodly number of the bulbs which are 

 entirely without leafage when ready 

 to pot. No attention is paid to this, 

 these bulbs being potted like the others. 

 They invariably come on again in fine 

 condition from the same crown; in 

 other words, they are not to be distin- 

 guished from the dormant imported 

 bulbs except that they grow more rap- 

 idly. 



Strange as it may seem, these repotted 

 seedlings, although moved with care 

 and wilting but little, liave to make in 

 largo measure a new root system after 

 being potted from the field. Plants at 

 all stages of growth, even up to full, 

 well-advanced buds which will open in 

 ton days, can be sucocssfully rcjiottod, 

 but even these make an almost entirely 

 now root system. 



For this reason it will not do to sub- 

 ject the plants to heat until the pots
