They may be grown either in soil in pots or water in a vase, but the 
latter method is to be preferred, as it lends itself more readily to artistic 
arrangement, and the bulbs bloom much earlier. They should be treated 
in the same way as Hyacinths, and can be planted at any time between 
October and March. 
The flowers are exquisitely perfumed, and of a clear white colour, with 
bright yellow cup. 
Each bulb sends up six or more strong spikes, and in a moderately cool 
room will bloom in about eight or ten weeks from the time of planting.
