CULTLRE. — Plant in open ground, after all 

 danger of frost is past, in a position fully ex- 

 posed to the sun, in well-enriched garden soil. 

 Avoid contact with manure, which should never 

 be fresh, and plant from 2 to 4 inches deep and 

 4 to 6 inches apart. Bring bulbs indoors before 

 the ground freezes, cutting the stalk off close, 

 and store in a dry, cool place. 



XOTE. — For be.st results from blooms, cut the 

 spikes ■vvheu the first flo^vers open; and finish 

 l»)ooniinK indoors. This is also a great benefit 

 to the bulbs.
