deposited the plants win thrive the better. The season of planting is from the middle of October to the 
middle of IS ovember. The bed should be protected from heavy rains and severe frosts by the usual means- 
and about the beginning of April, when the flowers begin to open, an awning of canvass should be flxed ove^ 
them to exclude all extremes of weather, and the more brilliant moments of sunshine. In three weeks or a 
month after blooming the bulbs should be taken up, unless they are intended to remain for seed. They 
should be dried in the shade, or under a few inches of dry earth, kept dry, and afterwards cleaned and wrapped 
up in separate papers, or laid on open airy shelves till wanted for replanting.

solid : the leaves narrow, a foot long, with obtuse points : the flower-stalks rise near a foot and a half high • 
tney are naked at the bottom for about seven or eight inches, above which the panicles of flowers begin, and 
terminate the stalks. The flowers stand upon peduncles which are more than an inch long, each sustaining 
three, four, or five flowers, whose petals are cut into slender filaments like hairs : they are of a purplish blue

, ■ So named in honor of Wernerus de la Chenal, of Switzerland, author of some medical 
ri» . lii'^ tracts printed at Basle. The numerous species of this genus were chieflv introduced from the 
i^ape by Mas«on : they bear a strong general resemblance, and are yet individually different ; they may be 
styled diminutive, but ))retty ; they grow readily in sand and i)eat, and may be forced or retarded so as to 
newer at almost any season. They must be very sparingly watered when not in a growing state.
