CARTER’S CATALOGUE OF BULBS FOR 1852. 
GREENHOUSE BULBS. 
Those designated with a * are also proper for 
a frame or the open borders, but they require 
a little protection in winter . Of the smaller 
Jlulbs marked *, and particularly of such as 
are not expensive , J. C. would recommend at 
least three Bulbs of a hind, for a pot or 
clump, as a single Bulb is not sufficient for 
effect. Those with ** are proper for a stove 
or greenhouse, but the former is preferable. 
Those marked thus f are now called Hippe 
astrum, as Amaryllis aulica, or Hippeastrum 
aulicum. The new Bulbs may be known by 
the names of the authorities affixed, as Ba 
biana fragrans (Ecklon). See also Bcilia, 
Freuchenia, 2 Gladiolus, Hebia, Hessea, 
2 Lachenalia, Micranthus, 2 Oxalis, Ovieda, 
2 Strumaria, and those marked Cape species.
