We give below short cultural directions. For complete cultural notes see our book, Drccr's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs. Price, 25 cts., or free to customers if asked for at the time of ordering. Outdoor Culture. -The bulbs may be planted from October to December. They succeed in any good, well-drained garden soil. Set the bulbs so that the tops will be 3 or 4 inches below the surface and 6 to 10 inches apart. Before very severe weather comes on cover the beds with straw, leaves or manure, to protect them from the frost; this should be removed when danger from hard frost is past in the spring. Pot Culture.—Plantings may be made at any time from September to December. A light, rich soil, or Prepared Bulb Fibre, is most suitable. Use a 4- or 5-inch pot (or several bulbs may be planted together in larger pots or bulb pans) and have the tops of the bulbs just above the surface. After potting give a good watering, and set away in a cool cellar or outhouse and cover with coal ashes or some litter, until thoroughly rooted. They may then be brought as wanted for a succession of flowers into the house, keeping them in a very cool light room until the flower spikes are developed,
