The bulbs should be kept dry and cool dur- ing winter and in spring started in a moderately warm house. After flowering, care must be taken to have the bulbs make their annual growth. They may either be grown in pots plunged in ashes, or planted out where they can be watered occasionally during dry weather. Like other similar plants, they will benefit by a mulching of spent hops or rotted ma- nure. (J. -w. Oliveb and L. H. B. CKLO'Rk'NTK'nS {green flowe
