sets or cloves are divisions Of the
compound bulb.
| There are two methods Of culture
one to plant the bulbs whole, about
half their depth in rows a foot apart,
nine inches between each bulb. The
more common method Is to remove the
small corms or cloves that form the
bulb and are hidden by the skin and
plant in drills about two inches deep,
nine inches between the bulbs in rows
a foot apart.

Some Of the bulbs may be pulled from

winter should be allowed to come to
maturity. This Is indicated by the
leaves turning yellow about tho middle
Of August.

the stalks and let them lie exposed to
