These are amongst the most graceful, attractive, and beautiful of Cape flowering bulbs. They differ 
considerably in style and habit of growth, but, being closely allied, they require the same cultural 
treatment. 
For In-Doors. Plant in October or November five or six bulbs, in a five-inch pot, using a compost 
of turfy loam, peat, or leaf mould, mixed with clean sand. Make the soil moderately firm about the 
bulbs, then place them in a cold pit or frame, plunging the pot in ashes, and withhold water till the 
plants appear, then give sparingly at first. The lights should not be kept on except during wet or frosty 
weather. 
For Out of Doors. Choose a light loamy soil with a due south aspect (the hotter the situation the 
better), and if possible backed by a wall or greenhouse. Plant the bulbs six inches deep and four inches
