A succession of bloom may be had from July to Sept'r, by planting at intervals from xlpril to June, reserving the strong- est bulbs for the latest planting. Their culture is very simple: they will grow in any ordinary garden mould, but succeed best in good earth, manured with well-rotted horse-dung. The bulbs are taken up in the fall and placed in a dry cellar, protected from frost. A discount of ten per cent, from catalogue prices will be made, when one dozen varieties are selected. Twenty per cent, on one hundred varieties. This collection received First Premiums at the Exhibitions of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, in 1870, 1871, 1872, & 1873.
