AN assortment of magnificent varieties, of distinct and superb shades 

 of color, all strong-growing, producing large and fill I spikes of Mo., m. 

 and sure to give the greatest satisfaction for winter flowering in the 

 conservatory or window garden. 



Fill a 5 or fi inch pot rather loosely to the brim with soil composed of 

 loam, leaf mold and sand, fertilized with hone meal : place the bulb down 

 so that it appears about even with the top of the soil. The pots should 

 then be plunged in a cold frame orin the garden, the top of the pots fully 

 4 inches below the surface of the ground, then cover with soil and leaves 

 or litter to prevent f reding; this will euro lira ire a BtroDggrowth ot roots 

 before the top starts. It must not be forgotten that a strong develop- 

 ment of root can only be had at a low temperature, say from to to 50 

 decrees, and anv attempt to force them to make roota quicker by placing 

 them in a high temperature will certainly enfeeble the (lower. They may 

 be removed in succession as required, after six to elghl weeks' time, to a 

 cool room for flowering.
