A garden or greenhouse plant, also 



suitable for house culture. It Is not 



quite hardy enough to bear planting in 



the garden in the fall, but 



as the bulbs can be kept in 



a dry state until spring, 



they may then be planted 



and will produce an abund- 

 ance of flowers. Give them 



a rather shady place in the 



garden.
