LACHENALIA, very beautiful greenhouse plants flowering in early Spring, with curiously 
spotted leaves and handsome flower-spikes. They should be potted as early as possible in 
Autumn in a compost of loam, sweet leaf soil, and sand, the bulbs being placed 2\ to 3 
inches below the surface and surrounded by sand ; place the pots in a cold frame close to the 
glass with plenty of air, and give very little water until the bulbs have made foliage. In 
early November, before cold weather sets in, remove the pots to a sunny situation in green- 
house close to the glass where the temperature does not fall below 45 0 . The I.achenalia 
likes abundance of sunshine but not overmuch heat. A very beautiful effect is obtained by 
planting Lachenalias in wire hanging baskets for greenhouse decoration. eac h
