One of the most attractive and most easily grown winter, flowering bulbs for the window garden or conservatory. 

 These delightfully fragrant flowers may be had in bloom from Christmas until June by making a succession of plantings 

 from August to February.

 very quickly, therefore it is not necessary to keep them in a cool dark place for a time before bringing them to the light.

 pears, put in a frame or brought into the house.
