Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; o single bloom 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they ore 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment; 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loom. The 
bulbs planted early, say August and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered ond kept growing all 
the time. In November, before frosts ap>pear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room.

These beoutiful bulbs from the Cope Colony (South Africa) ore far too 
little known; they should be plonted in late autumn ond in cold dis¬ 
tricts they must be covered with o thick layer of straw or leaves. They 
are splendid for southern states. There ore few bulbs so lovely and 
graceful and those fortunote enough to live where the climate is mild 
should plant them by the hundreds.
