The Crown Im- perial will grow well in any good garden soil, and if it can be said to have preferences, it is for a deep loam. At the time of planting the soil should be deeply trenched and well manured. They should be planted as soon as possible after they are re- ceived in this country, as they become weakened if left loo lung out of the ground. They should be planted 2 or 3 in a clump, 6 inches deep, and then left alone for years. When established they flower abundantly, and the stems should not be cut off, but allowed to decay naturally. To cut them away is to rob the plant of some of its strength. It has also been noticed that the bulbs flower better after a hot summer, the supposition being that they become well ripened after a hot, dry season. A slight covering during winter will be beneficial. Superfine Mixed. Including red, yellow and shades of orange. 10 ct>. each, $ per doz. Add 3 cts. each for postage. Eranthis Hyemalis.
