Outdoor Culture: Plant in Oct. and Nov., in good, well-drained 
garden soil. Plant bulbs so that the top will be 3 to 4 inches below 
the surface and 6 to 8 inches apart. After the ground has frozen 
cover with litter, leaves, or manure, to protect them from frost; this 
should be removed in spring when danger from hard frost is past. 
Pot Culture: Plant from September to November, using a 4 
or 5-inch pot for single bulbs or several bulbs may be planted in a 
larger pot or bulb pan. After planting, water well and put in a cool, 
dark, airy place until well rooted, after which remove to a cool room 
and later to a warmer room.
