CRINUMS. 



Splendid large-flowering bulbs, closely allied to the 

 Amaryllis. The most suitable soil is a compost of turfy 

 loam, cow manure and some sand. They should be 

 grown in large pots or in tubs, about three-fourths of 

 the bulb being out of the soil. In late fall they should 

 be removed to a coolhouse and allowed to rest till new 

 leaves begin to appear in February. The bulbs should 

 receive a top-dressing each year when starting, and 

 manure water during the growing season. They may 

 be placed outside when warm weather begins and will 

 flower all through the summer, making splendid lawn 

 or veranda plants.
