THE YOUNG FLORIST. 



As soon as the foliage of the Tulips began 

 to turn purple, the roots were taken up, and 

 laid in a shady place" to dry — as also the Cro- 

 cuses ; the Crown Imperials too were moved 

 the last of the month. 



Hyacinths are longer in coming to matu- 

 rity. In about two months from the time of 

 flowering, when the leaves begin to turn yel- 

 low, which is about the middle of July, they 

 should be taken up and treated in the same 

 manner as the Tulips.
