winter and spring in the conservatory, or window-garden; six or eight bulbs should be 
planted in a 4-inch pot. They force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if 
desired, and bv having a dozen or more pots started they can be brought in at intervals, 
Iherebv keeping up a continuous display of bloom through the winter; the flowers are 
produced six to eight on stems about g inches high, and are particularly useful for cut- 
ting, remaining in good condition kept in water for two weeks. Pure white, with a yellow 
blotched throat; exquisitely fragrant. 25 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100.
