of the Spring blooming bulbs, coming in bloom from ten to fifteen days earlier than the favorite Crocus. The flow- 
ers are of arich dark purple color, some specimens having black-purple veins or markings. Plant the bulb two 
inches deep, in a light sandy soil early in October ; it will produce finer bloom if undisturbed for several years.

A tall, stately plant, with beautiful flowers of various colors, and re-

peculiar lustre, and resemble a pearl. The flowers are fragrant, but the 
bulbs have a disagreeable odor which is sometimes transmitted through the bed. Plant six inches deep, and one 
foot apart, in good, rich soil in October or November. The bulbs need not be disturbed oftener than once in three 
or four years.

CYCLAMEN. 
There is no more ornamental plant for green-house or parlor culture, than the Cyclamen. It grows readily,, 
blossoms freely, and remains a long time ia flower. The soil should be equal parts of turfy loam, leaf mold, and. 
silver sand. Putin pots three times the diameter of the bulb, in October. Keep them in a cool, light place, 
watering lightly till growth begins; then water freely and give plenty of light and air. On the approach of cold 
weather, remove to a warmer situation—the parlor or green-house—but keep them near the light. The whole 
secret of growing Cyclamens to perfection is ght, azr, and a low temperature.
