DUTCH BULBS AND FLOWERING ROOTS. 



COLCHICUM. 



A species of Crocus, producing its flowers late in the Autumn, after 

 all other flowers have perisl.ecl and the leaves fallen. The following- 

 Spring- the plant throws up its foliag-e and ripens its seed. Six or eight 

 flowers are produced from one bulb. 

 Their culture is the same as given for 

 Crocus, except they should be set out 

 earlier. They are perfectly hardy, 

 and will endure the coldest weather. 

 The bulbs are large, and should re- 

 main a long time without being disturbed.

CROWN IMPERIAL. 



A tall, stately plant, with beautiful flov, ers of various col- 

 ors, and remarkable for the drops in the petals of the flowers, 

 -which shine with a pecuhar 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 g-ood, rich soil in October 

 or November. The bulbs need r.ot 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 in flower. The soil should be equal parts 

 of turfy loam, leaf mould and silver sand. Put in pots ihree 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 Cycla- 

 mens to perfection is light, air, and a low temperature.
