Start them early in damp peat moss or vermiculite in a warm place. As growth starts, 
transplant to 4 or 5-inch pots, or if ground is warm, directly to the permanent beds. Use 
two parts of good soil and rotted manure, two parts leaf mold or peat moss, one part 
sand; 3 lbs. bone meal to a bushel of mixture.

cession of flowers.

loam. Cover bulb about one inch, water sparingly. Place
