rNDER GLASS THEY FLOWER IN MARCH AXD APRIL, OUT OF DOORS IN MAY AND JUNE. 



These are amongst the most graceful, atti-active, and beautiful of Cape floweiing bulbs. They differ con- 

 siderably in style and habit of growth, but, being closely allied, they requhe the same cultural treatment. 



For Ix-Doors. Plant in October or ^sovember five or six bulbs, in a five-inch pot, using a compost 

 of turfy -loam, peat, or leaf mould mixed vdth. clean sand. Make the soil moderately firm about the bulbs, 

 then place them in a cold pit or frame, plunging the pots in ashes or cocoa-fibre, and withhold water till 

 the plants appear, then give sparingly at first. The lights should not be kept on except during wet or 

 frosty weather. 



For Out of Doors. Choose a light loamy soil with a due south aspect (the hotter the situation the 

 better), and if possible backed by a wall or gi-eenhouse. Plant the bulbs six inches deep and four inches 

 apart, smTounding them ^vith an inch of sand. Two or three inches of dry leaves laid on the surface will 

 be sufficient winter protection. 



There are but few situations in this country where these plants succeed well entirely out of doors. 

 Xo one need, however, be deprived of a bed of these superb flowers, if they -will only plant three bulbs in 

 a four-inch pot ; treat as recommended for in-door culture ; then in April or May remove them from the 

 frame, and plunge the pots where intended to bloom.
