flowering bulbs, and is so well known that it needs no description.

in any rich, well-drained soil, and where they can have abundance of sunshine. The bulbs should 
be set so that the tops will not be more than 2 inches under the surface of the ground, and as the 
flower stalks shoot up, some light support should be provided to prevent damage by storms.

drained rich soil from the middle of April to the middle of May. In
