THE CROOt S, 



As one of the earliest ornaments of the flower garden, is a universal favorite, being 

 neat, dwarf, and compact in growth, and varied in all the essential -hades of color 

 for producing harmony of effect, either separately or blended together. The prin- 

 cipal adaptation of this bulb consists in its suitability for planting sufficiently near 

 to the margin or edge of flower bordcrs,beds.<fcc. ,so as not to require removal, or in 

 forming lines or edges entirely of such, in their relative colors, which, after bloom 

 ing, may be removed as the leaves show maturity of growth by fading in color, 

 (the bulbs being stored away dry and cool until the following autumn), and the 

 same spaces being again occupied by summer flowering plants. 



The principal months for planting, are October, November and December, in 

 ordinary rich garden soil. placing the bulbs about two inches deep, and four to six 

 nches from the margin or edge, each group of six to eight or more bulbs being 

 planted in its own relative color, or otherwise in blended varieties, as taste may 

 prefer. These all improve in beauty for some years if not disturbed. 



To secure a succession of blooms in pots, commence early in the first named 

 month with six or eight bulbs in each well drained pot, using the same rich soil 

 about an inch deep. and. thus planted, place the pots on a surface of ashes, cover, 

 ing them over one inch deep with soil, tan, dry leaf mould, or sand, until the leaves 

 appear through the soil, when they may be removed to the house.
