 ous plant that produces strong spikes of brilliaut 

 starlet flowers. They are splendid for pot culture 

 in window gardens and conservatories. If several 

 bulbs are planted in a 10-inch pot or 

 tub they form highly decorative groups 

 for piazza ami lawn. Wehavefrequeiit- 

 ly seen such a potful bearing 2D to 25 

 spikes, each carrying 5 to 8 flowers at 

 onetime, and we also have in mind a 

 country garden in which on old tree 

 stump was capped with a half-barrel 

 filled with luxuriant Vallota plants — 

 crowned with a mass of scarlet blos- 

 soms — so vivid that it could be seen 

 for a mile. For best results the bulbs 

 should be allowed to grow undivided 

 and undisturbed as long as possible. 

 When budding and flowering, manure 

 water will prove very beneficial. The 

 bulbs may be planted in open ground 

 in May. and be potted in the fall, if 

 preferred. [See CUt.) 25c. each. $2 50
