TUBEROUS 



ROOTED 



The tubers which we offer are of the very best quality, and 

 with proper care will give a beautiful display early in the 

 summer. For growing in pots or boxes in the house, plant 

 in rich, sandy soil, give good drainage and water freely after 

 the leaves start, but do not let the soil become sour or sog- 

 gy from over-watering. If it is desired to have a bed out- 

 doors, select a shady, moist situation, making the bed rich 

 with thoroughly rotted manure and leaf mold, if obtainable. 

 Plant as soon as danger from frost is over. After the plants 

 start into vigorous growth, keep well watered.
