stand around the roots. The bulbs can be transplanted either in Spring or Autumn, but should be kept out of the 
ground the shortest possible time. Once firmly established, they should not be disturbed oftener than once in five 
years. Many of the varieties force well in the green-house, but are more suitable for parlor culture.

(CONVELLARIA MAJALIS.) 
Weil known and universally admired Spring-flowering plants, equally 
well adapted to Winter-flowering, inthe parlor. The flowers are bell-shaped, 
freely produced, and powerfully fragrant. For parlor culture, place five or 
six buds or pips in a crock, cover to the depth of one inch, set away in the 
dark for a week or two, and keep well watered. Then bring into the light, 
and set in a warm, moist place. In four or five weeks the flower will appear. 
By repeating this process at intervals, a constant succession of bloom may be 
maintained through the whole Winter. For out-door culture, you have only 
to.set the buds or pips where they are to blossom, as soon as received, and no 
further attention is required. They are perfectly hardy, and are not injured 
by frost. EACH. DOZ.

of five inches, and well protected from the coid during Winter.
