nothing of the advantage the small-
town paper would derive from the

additional and much needed revenue.”

Bulbs and Methods of
Growing Them |

there is no reason why one should
not have at trifling cost bloom
from bulbs during the winter
months, and enjoy in fact a
veritable winter garden. This is
no new theory, as winter zarden-
ing with bulbs has been practis-
ed in Canada as long as bulbs
have. been known, but. the
“when” and “how” are not as
enerally understood as ‘they
should be, and failuce sometimes
is the outcome,
Bulbs for tne house may be

and vases, in water and pebbles,
in moss, and as air plants, This
article will deal only with the
soil and pot method.
' The planting of bulbs for the
house! after October is a wasteful
effort, Have you ever grown
hyacinths where the flowers
would color while stiil hidden
away down in the foliage? That
is one of the results of late plant-

flowers of tulips and daffodils

are due to the same cause.
