BULBS FOR EARLY-FORCING. 
CULTURE.— Pot the bulbs 3 to 6, or more according to size, in a pot, at intervals during August, September, 
and October; then place the pots out-of-doors on a bed of ashes, and cover with cocoa-nut fibre a few inches 
above the top of the pots. There let them remain till the bulbs are well rooted, and have made a little top- 
growth, when the pots should be placed in a moderately warm and moist temperature, water being freely given.
