i ORDER to have a beautiful bulb garden, Nar-
cissus should be planted very freely. They thrive
in practically any climate in the United States, and
are not only excellent for outdoors, but millions are
used every year for forcing indoors. Their graceful
form, beautifully shaped trumpets and cups, and the
long, straight stems have made them favorites for
cut-flower purposes.

Plant m soil in pots or bulb pans. Plunge in cold-
frames or place in cool basement. When well rooted
bring into conservatory or greenhouse or place in
sunny window in a cool temperature.

Culture Outdoors: Plant so that top of bulb ts
at Ieast 5 inches beneath the soil. A little protection
should be given during severe winter weather, al-
though they are perfectly hardy.

bility to home ornamentation, color range, fragrance, texture of

home for a longer time, even under adverse conditions, than any

Meleagris. Single, dwarf, spring-flowerimg plants, bearing large,
pendent, bell-shaped flowers of yellow, white, black, purple,
striped, and splashed and checkered in the most curious way.
They are invaluable for rock-gardens and pretty when grown
in large groups in a dry situation. 60c per doz.; $4.25 per 100.

ERANTHIS HYEMALIS
(WINTER ACONITE)

Early in the spring the golden blossoms look charming, resting
on an emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a striking
contrast to the snowdrops, scillas, and chionodoxas. The foliage
remains Jong after the flowers, making the plant especially valu-
able in moist situations, such as under trees, which the Winter
Aconite enjoys and where few other flowering plants will thrive.
Plant firmly, 2 inches deep, about fifteen bulbs to the square foot.
60c per doz.; $4.00 per 100.

SNOWDROPS (Galanthus)

Everybody knows the Snowdrop, with its little white bells com-
ing through the snow very early in the spring—practically the
first flower to show itself after the dreariness of winter. It is a
wonderful bulb for naturalizing and planting in every garden.
Plant 2 to 3 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Can also be grown in
pots or baskets.

Single-flowering. 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100.

GRAPE HYACINTHS (Muscari)

SCILLA SIBIRICA, Spring Beauty

SPRING-FLOWERING CROCUS

Crocus are frequently the first flowers to apes in spring, com-

ing a few days after the snow disappears. They are at their very

best when scattered over a Iawn or planted in rows as a border

for a bed of perennials. When used on the lawn, scatter them

freely over the surface, then lift the sod with a trowel and slip the

bulb underneath. Crocus may also be grown in pots or bulb pans

and will produce a pleasing effect. The bulbs are entirely hardy,

and the grass may be mowed without injuring the Crocus plants.

The Fragrant
HYACINTHS

Hyacinths should be planted early, but they may be set from
October until the ground freezes. Spade the soil 8 to 10 inches
deep, making it as fine as possible. If the soil is heavy, add sand,
well-decayed manure, or peat moss. Set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches
deep and about the same distance apart. Before hard freezing
comes, cover the bed lightly with leaves or litter, removing it in
the spring.

Hyacinths grow readily in pots. Use the named varieties, one
bulb in a 5-inch pot, or three bulbs in a 7-inch pot. Use garden
soil or bulb fiber, and a little plant-food; set the bulb 1% inch be-
low the soil level. Water thoroughly, put in a dark, cool place for
six to eight weeks, giving water as needed; when the bulbs are
well rooted, bring the pots to a warm room.

Hyacinths also thrive in water. Set the bulbs in a Hyacinth
glass, with the base merely touching the water. Place in the dark
until the roots are well grown. Add water as needed; a small
piece of charcoal tends to keep the water pure. Give plenty of
light and air, but the temperature should be less than 60 degrees
until the flowers develop.

START YOUR LAWN THIS WAY

Be sure that the soil has good drainage and that the seed bed is fine, smooth, and mellow. Careful consideration
should be given to the kind of seed to be used. ‘lhe cost of the seed represents the smallest part of the investment. It
is false economy to save a few cents by purchasing lawn seed from a questionable source, only to be annoyed Jater by
repatching a weedy turf or being required to do the entire work over. '

Select a calm day and sow half the quantity one way and the remaining half at right angles. Seed at the rate of 1
pound to 200 square feet on new lawns or 125 to 150 pounds per acre. It requires about half as much seed for an estab-
lished lawn. A thick sod is the best protection against weeds. The seed should be covered by light raking and a top

dressing of peat moss or humus. The lawn is then ready for rolling.

If watering Is necessary, use a fine spray to pre-

Facts Concerning Fall Sowing

The cool, moist weather of late summer and early fall affords an ideal condition for renovating or rebuilding a lawn
that has suffered from drought, neglect, or the ravages of crab grass or other weeds. Fall is also the ideal time for
building a new lawn. Seed sown at this time will show quicker growth and has a tendency to stool or spread out, a
condition not present during the warmer months. Competition with weeds is practically eliminated at this season,
since they will not germinate until spring, by which time fall-sown grass is thoroughly established. Seed may be
sown successfully as late as November in the latitude of Cincinnati, but we would recommend September for best

results.
