bulb, and leaving room to add more soil when the surface roots appear. Select a situation out of-doofs 
protected from the afternoon sun, and stand the pots on a bed of ashes raised above the general level to 
avoid stagnant moisture, and made firm to prevent the entrance of worms ; then cover with 6 inches of 
cocoa-nut fibre or old leaf soil to keep off excessive rains. When the flower buds are well formed the 
plants may be removed to the greenhouse, corridor, or sitting-room, clear weak liquid manure then leino
