EltrY OF THE "VAEEEY (Ready in November) One of the most charming of spring-flowering plants, and can readily be flowered in the house. The pips or crowns are usually received from Europe during November, and should be planted soon after their receipt. The simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle of 25 pips in a 7 or 8 inch pot, filling it up with sand, moss, prepared fibre or light soil, allowing the points of the pips to be about an inch above the surface. They should then be placed out of doors and brought indoors as wanted, and put in a shaded place in a temperature of about 70 degrees, and when the spikes are 3 or 4 inches high they may be brought to where they are to perfect their flowers. By having a number of pots and bringing in at intervals, a continuous display can be had throughout the winter and ^ - ' spring months. We recommend clumps as i most suitable for outdoor planting.
