If this eavfr- iog is not readily obtained, leaves cm w used to advantage. Take box a foot Seep and at least two feet square. Knock: tbe bottom out of it, and place it over the-plant. -Then ,011 In with leaves, packing them down well. ' When tbe box ia fall, nail tbe bottom in place, to shed rain. Bank up about the . box with soil from the bed. In spring, do not uncover until tbe danger of freezing weather Is ovei" that Is. weather cold enough to freeze tbe soil to tbe depth of the bulb.
