Ready in September. 



Very prett}', spring-flowering, greenhouse, bulbous plants, with brightly 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
