Crown Imperial. 



The Crown Imperial derives its name from the 

 -crown-like appearance of its cluster of peculiar bell- 

 ■shaped flowers, situated around the stem immediately 

 under the tuft of glossy green leaves which surmount 

 the stem. It is one of the earliest spring flowering 

 bulbs, and quite hardy. The stem is usually found 

 forcing its way above the ground before the frost is 

 quite gone, and grows to a height of about three feet. 

 The flowers are bright and of various colors, both 

 single and double. The bulbs should be planted about 

 five inches deep. They do not usually flower until the 

 second year after planting, but from that time they 

 continue to increase and flower without further care.

A curious and interesting plant, known as the

 find it in seed. One of its peculiarities is that it will 

 bloom equally as well out of the ground as in it. If

 pink flowers will appear just the same as if it had 

 been left in the ground. Each. Doz.
