CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. 
FOB EXHIBITION PORFOSE8.— Select an open situation. In October, trench the soil 2 feet deep; use a 
liberal supply of old hot-bed or cow.manure, well mixed with the soil. Commence planting the first week in 
tlarob, and at intervale. Plant in beds of three rows, placing the bulbs one foot apart and 4 inches deep. Stake 
a« soon as the plants are eufficiently high, and mulch over the ground with half.rotted manure. As soon as the 
plants show bloom, stimulants are beneficial for the full development of the flowers ; for this purpose, use our 
Real Manure once a week.

five, at intervale of 4 or 6 feet, between Standard ^see, Dahlias, Ac., or in massee in the centre of large beds, or 
between Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Ac. 
The bulbs should be taken up ae eonn as the leaves begin to fade ; gradually dry them, clean them, put them 
into a paper bag, and place out of the reach of the frost.
