Tuberous-Rooted 
CULTURE—A popular method of culture 
is to provide a pan or box, and cover the 
bottom to the depth of one inch with 
sphagnum moss, placing the bulb immedi- 
ately on top and then covering with still 
another layer of sphagnum moss. They 
should be kept moist and moderately 
warm. As soon as roots appear plant in 
pots in a light soil, one inch below the 
surface, and water cautiously until plant 
has shown growth, then increase the 
amount. Good drainage is essential. 
While professional gardeners start tu- 
bers in pots indoors during early spring, 
the dormant bulbs may be planted 10 
inches apart in the open ground during 
May with excellent results. They will 
thrive in partial shade. Planted on the 
north side of a house they will make a 
beautiful display and in those places 
where hardly any other flower will bloom 
satisfactorily. 
We offer the following colors: Orange, 
Pink, Rose, White, Yellow, Scarlet and 
Mixed. Price, ea. 30c; six, $1.60; doz. $3.00.
