When the last flowers of the late
fall have faded away, it is possible to

weeks during the winter months. The
cost is nominal and the effort small*
These blooms can be provided by
bulbs in a large variety of colour* To
get the bulbs to flower successfully,
it if£ necessary to start them for sev
eral weeks in darkness in a cool cel
lar. The first essential is to make
sure that the bulbs themselves are of
good quality, A good plan is to buy
them early in the season when they
are likely to be more vigorous than
those which have been lying about
the store for several weeks. Good
bulbs should be firm to the touch;
heavy' in comparison to their
and of good size according to
variety.
The bulbs should be potted as
as they can be obtained from the seed
store or dealer. By removing the pots
from the cellar, after the bulbs have
taken root, a succession of blooms
can be obtained over a long period,
at intervals of ten days or two weeks.
Some bulbs can be grown in water
alone, others in prepared peat, and
still others in soil. The varieties that
do. best in water are Chinese Sacred
Lily, Paper White Narcissus, and Hy
acinths. The first two are grown in
bowls and the Bulbs kept in place by
small stones. A small piece of char
coal should be placed at the bottom
to help keep the water clean. Hy
acinths are grown in special glasses,
shaped so that the bulbs are held just
above water.
Prepared fibre compost can be ob
tained from seed firms and it is ready
prepared for use. Its chief advantage
over earth is that it is used in fancy
water-tight bowls. The fibre should
be made slightly moist and a layer
laid at the base of the bowl. The
bulbs should be arranged on this with
fibre filled in around them. Enough
space should be left at the top so
that water can be added easily. The
number of bulbs depends on the size
of the bowl, because .the bulbs must:
not be allowed to touch each other
or the sides of the bowl. Daffodils,
tulips, and hyacinths can all be grown
in fibre.
The most inexpensive 'way to grow
bulbs is in soil in clay pots. The or
dinary garden soil, if not too heavy,
can be used. Heavy soil should be
mixed with sand and leaf soil in ord
er to make it porous.
