Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, using ordinary 

 garden soil, any time from September to February. Plant 

 about two inches deep. Water thoroughly and put away in 

 a dark, cool place until signs of growth commence then 

 bring into the light and heat. For holiday blooming, pot 

 early in September, and for a succession of bloom, plant 

 at intervals of about two weeks. To grow in water, place 

 the bulbs In glasses and fill with clean water; leave them 

 in a dark, cool place until the glass is well filled with 

 roots, then bring to light. 



Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny location. 

 Ordinary garden soil, enriched with well-rotted stable 

 manure, spaded to a depth of 12 inches, will suffice. Plant 

 the bulbs 5 inches deep and 6 or 7 inches apart. Set out 

 any time from September until severe freezing weather. 

 While not required, it is better to give winter protection — ■ 

 before the ground freezes, cover the beds with material such 

 as leaves, straw, pine branches, etc.. to a depth of four 

 inches. Do not uncover too early in the spring.
