It is a very popular species for forcing' in win- ter for cut flowers, aud is particularly desirable for planting out in the open ground for summer blooming. In the fall the bulbs may be pulled up aud kept dry over winter the same as Gladiolus, etc., or be grown in pots and water withheld when they evince a desire to rest. Too large pots should not be used, as they bloom best when pot-bound. By having several bulbs on hand, and planting them out at intervals of two or three weeks, an almost unbroken season of bloom can be kept up. They make lovely beds cut in the sod of the lawn and planted about three inches apart. The past season we saw them growing luxuriantly in the open ground in New York, and blooming profusely ' until out down by frost. Unfortunately it has been erroneously stated in one or two popular works on plant culture that these bulbs will not nourish outside of a greenhouse. This is a great mistake, for they are as easily grown as a potato, and will bloom magnifi- cently after having laiu dry for weeks.
