One of the most universally known and admired plants. The graceful spikes 

 with the dainty pure white bells, are a delight to the eye. and their delicate 

 fragrance is exqiiisite. Plants succeed almost anywhere, but prefer a partly 

 shaded situation and rich soil. For house culture, plant rather thickly in pots 

 or boxes, scatter some moss or other hght material over the soil, 

 which must not cover the crown; water well and set away in a dark, 

 cold place where they will not freeze or bury pot in ground for several 

 days. \Mien brought to heat and light after a few weeks, the leaves 

 and flowers will soon appear. Ready for delivery in November.
