These have appropriately been called " the Orchids of the Hardy Flower Garden," some of the choicer Orchids being their only rivals, and even they can hardly be said to exceed them in richness, variety and beauty. They are of the simplest culture, succeeding in almost any soil or position. The bulbs should be planted 2 to 3 inches deep and 6 inches apart, early enough in the autumn to allow them to make some growth before hard frost comes. For best effect they should be planted in beds or groups of 25 to 100 or more bulbsâthe larger the number the finer the effect. They flower in June, and the bulbs may either be lifted or allowed to remain for another season. They are also splendid for pot culture. Put 4 to G bulbs in a 5-inch pot and treat the same way as Hyacinths, except that they should not be brought in for flowering much before March. We offer the following select sorts: Belle Chinoise. Golden yellow. British Queen. The finest pure white. King of the Blues. Kith dark blue. Louise. Pale pearl blue. Chrysolora. Clear canary-yellow. Reconnaissance. Rich dark bronze. Any of the above 15 cts. p
