freely, growing on in a house with a high temperature, and a moist atmosphere, till the flower buds develope ; at 
this stage, if the plants are for the conservatory or sitting-room , remove to a greenhouse temperature. The bulbs 
for early flowering pot as sooti as they can be procured, and keep in a temperature not below 60 degrees. The 
bulbs for succession pot at once, to make root growth, or keep them dry in a temperature not below 50 degrees.
