Select a sunny place of rich mellow soil, where water will not stand. Plant Hyacinth and Tulip bulbs from 5 to 6 inches apart and from 4 to 5 inches deep. They can be left in the bed for 2 to 3 years or taken up every summer after tops have died. Cover with manure or leaves after ground freezes up. Narcissus ought to be planted 10 to 12 inches apart and 6 inches deep; they can be planted in any place and be left in the ground as they in- crease in beauty every year. HOUSE CULTURE.
