 ofgoodluck. 



The bulbs are grown by a method known only to themselves, whereby their 

 attain great size and viralitv, ensuring luxuriant growth ani immense spikes of 

 flowers: in fact, the incredibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (fourto 

 ax weeks after planting) is one of the wonders of nature. " You c in almost see 

 them grow," succeeuing almost evennvhere and with everybody- They do well in 

 pots of earth, but are more novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowJs of water, 

 with enough of fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over when in bloom. 

 A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of flowers throughout the 

 •winter. {See cut.)
