These deliciously fragrant and exceedingly useful flowers are much more easily grown than is generally supposed, and will well 
repay the little trouble that is necessary to have them in perfection. For early forcing pot singly into five or six-inch pots, as early 
in the season as the bulbs can be obtained (African-grown are the soonest procurable), and plunge in a good moist heat, withholding 
water till the foliage makes its appearance, when water may be given abundantly till the flower-buds are formed, when they may be 
removed to the greenhouse or conservatory and less water given. For Autumn blooming, pot singly into five or six-inch pots in 
March or April, using a light rich compost, and plunge the pots about six inches above their rims in cocoa-nut fibre, coal ashes, or 
any light- material, under the stage of a greenhouse or in a cool pit or frame ; when the foliage of these makes its appearance 
they should he removed and plunged under a south wall, removing them to the greenhouse or indoors as the flower-buds are formed. 
Dr}- roots may also be planted in sheltered places in the open ground, from the middle of April to the latter part of May, and will 
produce beautiful flowers in Autumn if taken up and potted when coming into flower, and will furnish a supply of valuable bloom in 
the greenhouse almost up to Christmas.

Chionodoxa. 
Tnis is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful hardy Spring-flowering bulbs in cultivation, and at the same time one of the very 
easiest to grow. In form of flower and habit of growth it resembles the well-known and highly prized Scilla Sibirica, but its flowers 
are larger, more open, and of the most beautiful sky blue colour, the centres of the flowers being of a pure white, giving tiie plants a 
striking and charming appearance. It is extremely hardy, will thrive in any' fair garden soil, and is admirably suited for planting 
in large clumps or patches on the border, as an edging to beds, rockeries, &o , and the bulbs, if left in the ground for several years, will 
thrive wonderfully. It is also well suited for pot culture, and planted six or eight in a five-inch pot, has a very pretty effect in the 
greenhouse. When the bulbs are planted out of doors, they should he placed not less than four inches deep, and about three inches 
apart, and to be effective, not less than ten to twelve should be planted in a patch.
