IXIOLIRION TATARICUM. 
LACHENALIAS (Cape Cowslips). 
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 and well-decayed cow manure, the bulbs being placed 2& to 3 inches below the surface and 
surrounded by sand ; place the pots in an airy greenhouse or cold frame close to the glass, and give very 
little water until the bulbs have made foliage. In early November, before cold weather sets in, "the pots 
in the cold frame should be transferred to a sunny situation in greenhouse where the temperature does 
not fall below 45 0 . The Lachenalia likes abundance of sunshine but not overmuch heat. In May, remove 
the pots again to a cold frame fully exposed to sun, and gradually cease giving water so that the bulbs 
may ripen off. A very beautiful effect is obtained by planting Lachenalias in wire hanging baskets for 
greenhouse decoration.
