They thrive best in a compost of two-thirds good gai-den 

 soil and one-third leaf mold, to which is added a little 

 sand. They should be grown in a six or seven inch pot, 

 only one bulb to a pot, covering with soil as far as the 

 neck or upper narrow part, water sparingly at first until 

 the flower shoots appear. 



After flowering they should be placed in a warm win- 

 dow, or set outside and watered every day until the end

 the bulbs allowed to rest, if the bulb does not rest it will 

 not bloom again.
