TTOB-ERQ'S.'I^e A tender bulbous plant of the easiest culture, suitable for 
the summer garden, or for house forcing throughout the year. For gardens in warm 
latitudes they may be planted in spring, when danger of frost is past, in good soil, 
well enriched with hue old cow manure or rich compost, setting the bulbs six to ten 
inches apart, and slightly under the surface. Where the growing season is short, 
they must be started in pots in the house, and afterwards turned out into the bor- 
ders when the weather is settled and warm. The bloom commences in twelve to 
fourteen weeks from planting, and usually consists of fifteen to thirty flowers, which 
are pure white and very fragrant.
