Extremely ornamental greenhouse plants, with large, fragrant, beautifully colored flowers. The most 

 suitable soil is good loam, with one-fourth part of leaf-mold or pulverized manure, and some sand. Good 

 drainage is very important. The growing season is from early spring until about September, when 

 the plants should be kept cool and allowed to rest until February. They require plenty of sunshine, but 

 in the flowering season a light shading tends to pre -serve the blossoms longer. Frequent disturbance of 

 the roots is to be avoided. Established bulbs in large pots should have a top-dressing each year when 

 starting, and manure-water during the growing sea-ton.
