 in the conservatory, oT window garden; to 8 bulbs should be planted in a 

 4-inch pot. They force readil.v and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, 

 and by having a dozen or more pots started in the cold frame they can be 

 brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a continuous display of bloom through 

 the winter; the flowers are produced 6 to S on stems about 9 inches high.

 snow white flowers of immense size and deliciously fragrant ; it is very free bloom-
