 Paeonies, being mberous rooted, can be packed in moss, and expedited in the same manner 

 as Bulbous roots. 



DIRECTIONS FOR THE CULTURE OF BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS ROOTS., 



Situation. — A southern aspect, dry and airy, and sheltered from the north 

 winds, is preferable for most bulbs ; but Anemones and Ranunculuses will do 

 better in a situation commanding a southern aspect, and which can be protected 

 from the heat of noonday. 



Soil. — The following compost is most suitable for the Hyacinth, Tulip, Crown 

 Imperial, Narcissus, Crocus, Snow Flake, Iris, Lily, Colchicum, Anemone, 

 Ranunculus, Snow Drop, and most other bulbs : — One-third sand, one-third well- 

 rotted co(y-dung, and one-third good garden mould. Let the. beds thus formed be 

 well dug over to the depth of fifteen or eighteen inches, that the materials be well 

 mixed together ; a fourth part of rotten wood, or vegetable mould from a swamp, 

 may be added to the above, if conveniently to be obtained, which will, at all 

 times, be beneficial in giving additional hghtness to the soil. 



The various species of the Amaryllis succeed best in a rich sandy loam ; and 

 the families of the Ixia, Oxalis, Feraria, Gladiolus, Antholyza, Lachenalia^ and 

 most other Cape and Tropical bulbs, require the soil to be more sandy than for 

 the generality of other bulbs. 



Forming the Beds.—T\\Q beds should be raised about four inches above the level 

 of the walks, and moderately arched, which will afford an opportunity for the 

 superfluous moisture to run off. Sand (either sea or fresh) strewed in the trenches, 

 before and after placing the roots, will be beneficial. 



Time of Planting. — For the Hyacinth, Tulip, Crown Imperial, Squill, Lily, 

 Polyanthus Narcissus, Double Narcissus, Jonquil, Iris, Crocus, Colchicum, Star 

 of Bethlehem, Snow Drop, Snow Flake, Gladiolus, Allium, and most other 

 hardy bulbs, the preferable season for planting is the months of October and 

 November — and it is well to be observed, that the species of bulbs above named, 

 (Tulips excepted,) will thrive best if not taken from the ground oftener than 

 every second or third year. The different species of the Feraria, Antholyza, Ixia, 

 Crinum, Haemanthus, Eucomis, the tender species of Amaryllis, Pancratium, and 

 Gladiolus, and most other delicate bulbs, may be planted during the months of 

 November and December, in pots, when intended to be sheltered during the 

 winter, or they can be kept in dry sand until April or May, and then be planted
