LACHENALIAS (Cape Cowslips). 
Very beautiful greenhouse plants flowering in early Spring, 
with curiously spotted leaves and handsome flower spikes 9 to 
12 inches high. They should be potted as early as possible in 
August-September in a compost of loam, sweet leaf soil, sand 
and well-decayed cow manure, the bulbs being set with their 
tops h inch to 1 inch below the surface ; place the pots in an 
airy greenhouse or cold frame and give plenty of air (avoiding 
draught) but very little water until the bulbs have made 
foliage. In early November, before cold weather sets in, the 
pots should be transferred from the cold frame to a situation in 
the greenhouse where the temperature does not fall below 40° 
at night and never exceeds 55° by day : avoid too warm an 
atmosphere. After flowering give the bulbs a little feeding 
with Phytobroma (see page 84). In May, remove the pots 
again to a cold frame fully exposed to sun, and gradually cease 
giving water so that the bulbs may ripen off. A very beautiful 
effect is obtained by planting Lachenalias in wire hanging 
baskets for greenhouse decoration. In South Devon and 
Cornwall Lachenalias may be grown in sheltered nooks out¬ 
doors.
