BERMUDA BUTTERCUP OXALIS. This valuable winter flowering bulb is a selec- 

 tion from Oxalis Cernua, cultivated in the favorable soil and climate of Bermuda, 

 until it surpasses the type in strength, size and luxuriance of plant and flower. The 

 flowers are a bright, buttercup yellow and are produced in wonderful profusion. This 

 variety is particularly well adapted to shallow pots and hanging baskets. One to six bulbs 

 potted in rich, friable soil, will in about six weeks form a fountain-like mass of foliage 

 and bloom which is certain to please everyone. Place the pot in the cellar or cold, dark 

 room for several days, to root thoroughly, then remove to window or conservatory.

 ' ^ ' ^^ ^ little known bulbs are 

 worthy of general cultivation as they 

 are easily bloomed, and their beautiful 

 and curious flowers always attract 

 attention. Fill a 5 or 6-inch pot with 

 sandy loam, insert six or eight bulbs, 

 covering them about an inch deep. 

 Place the pots in a cool, moderately 

 damp place, where they will not freeze, 

 and give but little water. When the 

 flower spikes appear bring into a sunny 

 place, give plenty of air and water, and 

 rather low temperature.
