FLOWERS BRING JOY

FLOWERS bring joy. And in what way can the investment of so small a sum bring more lasting pleasure than in their purchase? Flower lovers well agree that of all blooms none give more pleasure for the slight

trouble and expense involved in growing them than Spring

flower bulbs — Tulips, Hyacinths, Daffodils, Crocuses and the like — for which Holland has so long been famous.

INCOMPARABILIS NARCISSUS

The cup (chalice or crown) of the Incomparabilis Narcissus is larger than that of the Barrii Narcissus. It measures from one-third to nearly equal the length of the perianth segments. Like the Barrii they are much favored for cut flowers, for borders and for forcing.

Stages in the development of a Hyacinth grown in water

RS yee Beauty with Ser’ Mulls

FLOWERS from bulbs bring joy not only for a long season in the Spring — from March until June—but add their good cheer to dispel the dreariness of long Winter days. A few pots blooming on the window sill or in the Winter window garden, will change the whole atmosphere of the room and for this purpose they may be had in long succession, from Christmas to Easter. Here again their cultivation is of the simplest. All that is necessary is to place the bulbs in pots. The bulbs are placed with the tops just level with the soil surface, about half an inch below the rim of the pot. Allow them to make roots in some cool, dark place, water pots in cellar weekly, and then bring them into living room or sun porch to bloom, but not before the bud is three inches long. Bulb pans (shallow flower pots) with half an inch of broken pots, pebbles or crushed shell on the bottom for drainage, are used for planting. Hyacinths and many Daffodils may be grown directly in pebbles and water, in moist peat or bulb fibre (obtained from Seedsmen). Peat moss and bulb fibre should be thoroughly moistened before use. Allow them to make roots in a cool, dark place, under no circumstances place them into the living room before the bud is three inches long. The longer the pots remain in a cool place the better and when placed into the room or greenhouse, a moderate temperature is to be preferred. Avoid dry room temperature.

Left: properly rooted to start forcing; right: stage at which increased heat and light can be given.

Bulbs set at proper depth for forcing.

Prepare the soil well for lilies, plant about 7 to 8 inches deep in a drainy spot. Give them time to settle. As a rule they do so much better the second season after planting and soon start to increase in size and multiply in number.

PLANTING OUT OF DOORS

The cultivation of these bulbs is simplicity itself. Provided only that one starts with sound, firm bulbs — obtained from a thoroughly reliable source — failure is almost impossible. When planting out of doors, the soil is prepared as for other flowers, by being well dug and fertilized. Even in unfertilized soil the bulbs will usually give good flowers and for the best results it pays to be generous in the matter of fertilizing, using bonemeal. Each year some additional plant food can be given right after planting and again just after flowering. The purpose of the latter application is to develop good strong bulbs for next season’s bloom. Good drainage is essential — particularly for Tulips. The depth to plant is about five inches. Planting is best done in October — and in some parts very well possible during early November. As all of the so-called Dutch bulbs are perfectly hardy, protectioning against frost is not essential, but many gardeners provide for a Winter covering after the ground freezes hard to prevent premature growth in the Spring and thus lessen the chance of injury from late frost.
