but according to the experience of my excellent friend, the late Mr Crowe, in whose garden I have seen them many successive years, they are best removed when in full flower, the earth being cleared completely away from the roots, which are then to be replanted in their natural soil, Afterwards they must be well previously dried and sifted The bulb for the following year has not at the watered flowering period begun to throw out its fibres ;
