They should be planted as soon as possible after they are received in this country, as the}7 become weakened if left too long 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 it is said that the stems should not be cut off, but allowed to decay natur- ally. 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 cover- ing during winter will be beneficial. Superfine Mixed. each for postage. 10 cts. each, Si per doz. Add 3 cts.
