For open ground planting we offer large clumps, each containing many flowering crown? These may be set 

 from six inches to a foot apart and covered three inches. They succeed best in ground wnich is rather moist and 

 partially shaded. 



For forcing the pips are to be preferred, being grown under conditions tending to promote vigorous and early 

 blooming. Twelve to eighteen pips may be planted in a 6-inch pot, with all the fibrous roots carefully preserved, 

 and keeping the crowns above the soil. Place them in a temperature of about 80 degrees, cover the crowns with 

 loose moss, and keep them constantly moist with tepid water. They should flower in about five weeks.
