blotchings and markings of charmingly contrasted shades. They 
will grow in any good garden soil, and bloom with the most 
ordinary care. The bulbs should be planted at intervals in April 
and May, to secure a succession of bloom. Take up in the fall 
and store in a dry cellar or other cool place, well protected 
from frost.
