One of the earliest spring-flowering bulbs. They produce fine

 especially if combined with any of the early-flowering bulbs. Plant

 Six or more bulbs may be planted in a pot or pan, placed in a cool 

 situation, and when leaves appear they may be taken indoors.

 on 3 lbs. per 100. All prices stand for Mammoth Bulbs, except as
