 and fill your garden with a foretaste of the glory

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.
