ROSE HILL NURSERY 
They do best in full sun. When cutting 3 or 4 leaves 
should be left to the plant which will allow the bulb 
to properly mature. After the first killing frost, 
take the bulbs up carefully and cut off the stalk 
about 1-inch from the bulb and allow it to dry about 
one week. Then pack in shallow boxes and place for 
the winter in a cool dry cellar where the temper¬ 
ature will not go below freezing. The following va¬ 
rieties are among the most lovely and dependable:
