THE CmOOUS, 



As one of the earliest ornaments of the flower gar- 

 den, is a universal faverite, being neat, dwarf, and 

 compact in growth, and varied in all the essential 

 shades of color for producing harmony of effect, 

 either separately or blended together. The princi- 

 pal adaptation of this bulb consists in its suitability 

 for planting sufficiently near to the margin or edge 

 of flower borders, beds, etc., so as not to require 

 removal, or in forming lines or edges entirely of 

 such, in their relative color?, which, after blooming, 

 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 inches 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, covering 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 

 ifae house.
