 the handsomest of the ornamental-leaved plants. Roots ob- 

 tained in the spring Trill make good plants in the summer, and

 shades. Plant out doors about the middle of May, if the weather 

 is warm and settled. When planting out the bulbs do not water 

 too freely until well started : then they should have an abundance.
