 to grow the plants from seed. Sow seed in February or 

 March, in pots, on a surface of fine soil, and cover with 

 glass. Take great care not to wash out the young plants in 

 watering; they will give an abundance of bloom the first 



year. At the end of the season the plants may be dried off 

 by withholding water, the tubers kept in a dry place free 

 from frost, and planted the following Spring, when they 

 will bloom more freely than ever.
