with the soil, Sandy loams require nothing more than the addition of manure and 

 deep digging. Plant, when the soil is dry, in rows about nine or ten inches apart, 

 and a foot between the rows. The crown of the bulb should be three or four inches 

 under the surface of the soil. Before severe freezing, cover the bed with three or 

 four inches of old tan, hops or short litter, to exclude frosts. This, however, should 

 be removed early in spring. 



Double Syacinths^ 



The very earliest are marked thus **, the early *. These are suitable for growing 

 in pots and glasses, but are not quite as early as the single. The double and late 

 varieties succeed best in pots, boxes or open ground.
