fringed. They should be potted at first in 
pots a little larger than the bulbs, in a rich, 
light soil, and after these are well filled 
with roots replaced in larger pots, shift¬ 
ing two or three times if necessary. Be 
sure to get the bulb right side (the con¬ 
cave surface) up, and place it barely be¬ 
neath the surface. The large fleshy stalks 
are very brittle, and the large plants will 
usually require staking up, although some 
of them grow more compactly than others 
and will do without it. 
The cyclamen is another great favorite, 
but usually is bought only when it is shown 
in full flower in the florist’s windows about 
the holiday time. You will get much more 
for your money by buying a pot or two 
just nicely started in the fall, or even get¬ 
ting the “bulbs” in August or September 
and potting them up and starting them 
yourself. The cyclamen also will thrive 
in a shady spot or even in a comparatively 
dark room, and this is one of the reasons 
for its being so great a favorite. The 
flowering season is long, and the blossoms 
are borne in great profusion, and during 
this period it should be given liquid ma¬ 
nure occasionally to have the quality of 
the flowers stay until the end of the flow¬ 
ering period. 
The amaryllis is an old favorite, but few 
people are acquainted with the newer 
varieties that have been introduced during 
the last few years, which are a great im¬ 
provement over the old-fashioned sorts. 
Probably one reason for this is that the 
bulbs cost several times as much as those 
of most other bulbous plants; but it should 
be remembered that an amaryllis bulb will 
last many years, giving better results all 
the time, and that, furthermore, there is 
no bulb that is more easily grown or more 
certain to produce results even in the hands 
of the amateur than the amaryllis. It will 
go for years without repotting, and it 
blooms at a season — from January until 
spring — when flowers are scarce. The 
bulbs usually come in November ; pot them 
up at once and give them only a very little 
water at first, increasing the amount as 
growth begins. The flower stalks appear 
before the leaves. Do not, however, dry 
the plant off as soon as the flowering 
period is over, but keep it watered and 
fed for awhile until the leaves begin to 
die down of their own accord, as this 
after-growth is necessary to store up 
strength for next year’s flowering period.
