These brilliant colored summer flowering bulbs of easy cul- 
ture are ideal for shade. Along the coast of Oregon, Wash- 
ington and California they are among the most popular flow- 
ers of today. Our bulbs are from selected strains. 
Plant indoors in a warm place in February or March in 
moist sand or peat moss just covering the bulb. Pot up when 
well sprouted in a mixture of peat moss, humus or soil. Plant 
outdoors after danger of frost (early May in this section). They 
do best on the north side of a building or other location where 
they are shaded much of the day. To be successful prepare 
soil carefully and add liberal quantities of peat moss or well 
decayed leaves, Keep well watered and fertilized. Dig and 
store in late fall in a dry place during the winter.
