Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, using 
ordinary garden soil, any time from September to 
February. Plant about two inches deep. Water 
thoroughly and put away in a dark, cool place until 
signs of growth commence, then bring into the light 
and heat. For holiday blooming, pot early in 
September, and for a succession of bloom, plant at 
intervals of about two weeks. To grow in water, 
place the bulbs in glasses and fill with clean water; 
leave them in a dark, cool place until the glass is 
well filled with roots, then bring to light. 
Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny 
location. Ordinary garden soil, enriched with well- 
rotted stable manure, spaded to a depth of 12 
inches, will suffice. Plant the bulbs 5 inches deep 
and 6 or 7 inches apart. Set out any time from 
September until severe freezing weather. While not 
required, it is better to give winter protection— 
before the ground freezes, cover the beds with 
material such as leaves, straw, pine branches, etc., 
to a depth of four inches. Do not uncover too 
early in the spring.
