How To Grow Them 



Pot Culture — Use a 4 or 5 inch pot for each 

 bulb, or plant thi^ee in a 6 inch pot; a light, 

 rich, sandy soil is best. The upper surface of 

 the bulb should show above the soil. After 

 potting, water thoroughly and put in a dark, 

 cool cellar, covered up with sand or ashes 

 until well rooted; this generally takes from 

 two to three months. 



Outdoor Culture — Plant in October or early No- 

 vember, in well fertilized soil, about 6 inches 

 apart and 5 inches deep. Cover the bed with 

 straw, leaves or short manure during the 

 winter.
