hor a rich and grand effect during the summer and autumn months, the many and beautiful colours of this splendid tribe of 
flowering bulbs form one of the most attractive features of the flower garden. They prefer a warm south border, but will grow in 
almost any situation in ordinary garden soil, which must be deeply dug and 
slightly enriched with well-decayed manure. The bulbs should be planted 
from 3 to 4 inches deep, and covered with sand to the depth of an inch, 
over which place the soil. By planting from February until April a 
succession of bloom will be produced from July till October.
