MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK, 
Tuhornw 'Rnlh* and how to Plant them. Set 
i uuei sjulua QUt about the time you do 
Coleus, in rich, warm soil. Firm the soil around the bot¬ 
tom of the bulb with your hand, and have the top of the 
bulb just covered with dirt. When the flowers begin to 
open, if you take the plant up and put it into a pot or box, 
and place it on the piazza, or out of the sun and storms, 
all the flowers will open very white and full. They are 
among the sweetest and most beautiful of flowers. The 
bulbs may be started in the house in April, but usually do 
best planted where they are to remain after the ground 
gets warm and weather settled. The bulbs will keep in any 
warm dry place till wanted. Plant six inches apart. We
