History, Use, Propagation, Oulinre, 
782. Erythronium. From i^vS-^o;, red, in allusion to the color of the flower and leaves. Beautiful little vernal 
bulbs, the favorites of gardeners, from the cottager's border to the nobleman's flower garden. The E. 
americanum runs very much at the root, and will not flower unless confined and prevented wasting its 
vigour in long subterraneous surculi. 
78.3. Gloriosa. So named on account of the glorious colors of its flowers, and the elegance of their form. 
This is a splendid and curious genus, which requires considerable care in its treatment so as to make it flower 
freely. The late John Sweet, of Bristol, has given the following directions ; " When the stalks and foliage 
have decayed in the autumn, and ieft the root, like a well-ripened potatoe, in a dormant state, the pot in 
which it is, must be removed from the bark-bed (to a dry part of the house) at some distance from the fire : 
all the warmth at this time necessary being merely what is sufficient to keep the earth in the pot free from 
damp : and to prevent the waterings of the house, or other moisture, falling on the earth in the pot, it should 
be covered, by inverting upon it another pot of the same size ; or if larger, it will hang over its edges, and 
more effectually exclude the wet. If the roots are small, two or three maybe placed together in the same 
pot, whilst in their dormant state ; but if they are thus shifted, the mould must be well shaken down in the 
pot, in order to prevent the access of air to them : the old mould in which they grew must also be used; for 
fresh earth or sand would stimulate them to move too early. About the second week in March, the roots 
must be replanted, putting one or two, according to their size, into pots measuring six inches over. The best 
comi)ost for them is fresh loam, mixed with an equal quantity of peat-mould, of good quality ; the loam 
should be good, not over rich with dung, nor too heavy. The roots are to bo covered about two inches deep; 
and care must be taken not to break them, unless natuie has shown where it is practicable to divide them 
easily. The pots, Vv'hen filled, must be plunged into the bark-bed, where Uie heat should be equal to ninety- 
five degrees of Fahrenheit's scale. Water is to be given very .sparingly at first; and though, as they grow,
