type, having taken special pains to dis- 
ecard varieties which did not flower well 
here.

of the best summer flowering bulbs; 
they have been greatly improved of late 
years, and almost every color has been 
produced; is tinged and blotched in all 
shades from delicate rose to dark ver- 
million. When planted at intervals 
during spring, they will flower at differ- 
ent times, but those that are planted 
earliest produce the finest flowers. The 
roots should be taken up in the fall.

Gioxinias. These are really bulb- 
ous green house plants, but they can be 
cultivated in pots and kept in a shady 
place in the garden, or window. They 
are very beautiful; eolor from white to 
dark violetandcrimson. The leavesare 
velvety, and on some varieties very 
large. They should be planted earlyin
