LACHENALIAS 



Ready in September. 



Very pretty, spring-flowering, greenhouse, bulbous plants, with briglitly colored flowers and elegant habit. 

 They should be grown in pots, four to six bulbs in a 5-inch pot, in a compost of two parts loam, two parts leaf- 

 mould and one part each of peat, sand and well-rotted cow manure. Apply but 

 little water until growth is somewhat advanced, but give more freely as the foliage 

 develops ; give them plenty of light and air, and keep near the glass to insure 

 sturdy growth. Lachenalias are also excellent subjects for hanging baskets.
