Excerpt from Bulbs: A Treatise on Hardy and Tender Bulbs and Tubers
The plants of which the present volume treats are among the most beautiful in the floral kingdom. While comparatively few are indigenous to Northern climes, and many are natives of the torrid zone, most of them may be grown with but a slight outlay; and the garden, frame, and greenhouse may be gay at every season of the year with their gorgeous blossoms.
Many of them are also admirably suited for window-culture, and, though generally not ornamental in foliage, flower freely in the parlor, and stand well the heat of furnaces, and the poisonous gas which impregnates the air wherever gas is used for lighting. During their period of growth, which is the season at which they are generally in the parlor, they will bear any quantity of water; and therefore one of the great mistakes in parlor-culture - over-watering - cannot be committed.
