The reasori is easily found, because within the bulbs are stored all the fnture glory of leaves and flowers, only requiring the simplest culture to develop them in their highest perfection. Success is therefore the rule. Another reason why bulbs are prized so highly is that a large •lumber of them produce their flowers in very early spring, when the rest of Nature is asleep.
