great freedom, As soon as 
the bulbs are obtained place 
ten in a 6-inch pot filled with a 
compost consisting of about 
three parts light sandy loam, 
and one of sweet leaf mould, 
with a few small crocks for 
drainage. When potted, water 
thoroughly, and place in a cool 
dry situation. As soon as the 
plants have made one-half inch 
of growth remove to a position 
near the glass, and shade them.

nure should be frequently 
applied.
