HTACIXTHS srown in glasses are elesant and suitable ornaments for the parlor 

 or sitting room, and can be flowered in tliis way «ith very little trouble. The 

 following assortment, which we liave designated the " Water Collection." is made up 

 of exceptionally beautiful varieties, such as we have found to succeed well when 

 grown in glasses. 



The bulbs sliould be placed in the glasses as early in the season as possible, keep- 

 ing them in a cool, dark airy cellar or similar situation until the roots have nearly 

 reached the bottoai of the glass, after which the lightest and sunniest cool situation 

 that can be had is the best ; the water in the glasses should be changed two or three 

 times a week. Fill the glass with' water, so the base of the bulb will only toiich 

 the water. ,

Fill a ."> or 6 inch pot rather loosely to the brim. with soil composed of 

 loam, leaf mold and sand, fertilized with bone meal : jilace the nulb down 

 so that it appears about even with the top of the soil. The pots should 

 then be plunged in a cidd frame oriii the ganien, the top of the pots fullv 

 i inches below the surface of the ground, then cover with soil and leaves 

 or litter to i)revent freezing; this will encourage a strong growth of roots 

 before the top starts. It must not be forgotten that a" strong develop- 

 ment of root can only be had at a low temperature, snv from 40 to ."lO 

 degre<»s, and any attempt to force them to make roots quicker bv placing 

 them in a high temperature- will certainly enfeeble tlie flower. Thev mav 

 be rem.oved in succession as re(iuireil. after six to eight weeks' time to a. 

 cool room for flowering.
