This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will 

 thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the 

 highest perfection it should be grown in an open bed or border 

 of deep, rich sandy loam. When planted in large groups or 

 lines of distinct color, the effect is very striking. They are in- 

 valuable for pot culture. To secure a succession of blooms 

 commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs in a pot 

 (the named varieties are best for this purpose), using rich 

 soil and planting about half an inch deep. They can also be 

 grown in saucers or bowls, in prepared bulb fibre or in water 

 and pebbles. For complete cultural notes see our book, 

 "Hints on the Growing of Btilbs." Price, 25 cts.; or sent free 

 to customers if asked for at time of ordering.
