No other bedding plant will give the same uniform good results in our varied 
and trying climate. They do well in all sections of the country and stand pre¬ 
eminently at the head of the list, succeeding in any sunny position in any kind 
of soil, but responding quickly to liberal treatment. For best results the beds 
should be spaded two feet deep and a generous amount of well-decayed manure 
of any kind thoroughly incorporated, and at all times supplying water freely. 
For best effect plant in large masses of one color, setting out the tubers two feet 
apart.

One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 
summer-flowering bulbs. By skillful management a suc¬ 
cession of flowers may be obtained all the year round. For 
early flowers they can be started in February or March in 
the greenhouse or hotbed; and for a succession they can be 
planted at intervals as late as July. For flowering in the 
open border, plant about the middle of May, or as soon as 
the ground becomes warm.
