cow or sheep manure in equal parts, with a sprinkling of sand added. Bulbs may be planted outdoors as soon as danger of 
frost is over, covering about three inches deep; or for largest growth start early indoors in pots and set out when the 
weather is warm and settled. But little water must be given to the roots till active growth commences when, as the 
plants develop, they require an abundance. Humidity and warmth are necessary for their best development.
