The tubers which we offer are of the very best quality, and 
with proper care will give a beautiful display early in the 
summer. For growing in pots or boxes in the house, plant in 
rich, sandy soil, give good drainage and water freely after 
the leaves start, but do not let the soil become sour or soggy 
from over watering. If it is desired to have a bed outdoors, 
select a shady, moist situation, making the bed rich with tho¬ 
roughly rotted manure and leaf mold, if obtainable. Plant as 
soon as danger from frost is over. After the plants start 
into vigorous growth, keep well watered.
