For forcing, plant about twelve pips in a 6-inch pot, keeping the crowns above the soil; 

 place in a temperature of about 80 degrees, covering the pots with moss; keep them moist 

 continually. They should flower in 3 to 4 weeks from time of planting. For the garden we 

 have the clumps as well as the pips. They should be planted in masses, in partially shaded 

 and moist locations. Plant the single pips 4 inches apart; they will increase rapidly and 

 form one mass, blooming profusely every spring. Ready in November.
