No other plant is so well adapted to winter blooming. It is cultivated in every Xorthem country, where it does more than any other flower to make winter cheerful. For winter blooming they may either be grown in pots as other plants, or in glasses of Avater. A small pot will answer, but some prefer to plant three or four together in a large pot; in either case fill the pot with sandy, porous soil, plant the bulbs by pressing them down into the soil so that only a little of the bulb will show^ above the soil. Now water them freely and set away in a cool, dark cellar for several weeks, where they will make plenty of roots, but the top will grow but lit- tle. The}- may then be removed to a warm room, a few at a time, that they may be had to bloom in succession. By a wnrm room we mean from GO to 70 degrees, but not above 70. When grown in glasses the base of the bulb should just roneh the water; it will soon evaporate so that the water is a little below the bulb, which is as it should be.
