Large sized, fresh stock, from a rreliable seed house is also most‘ lllllDOftullC. There is not agreat deal of growth to bulbs. The flow- ers are already packed inside when planted. Because of this it is most important to get good stock as one has little opportunity to coax them along. . i While bulbs may be planted in i-‘SOll, sand, pebbles and some of lthem in ordinary water, the clean- est and easiest way is in fibre. This material which may be bought at any seed storeis inexpensive, and may be used over and over. It re- quires no drainage so may be used in fancy bowls, and other water tight; receptacles. A good plan is to plant in fibre in old tins, or cheap» granite bowls and store away in a dark corner in the fruit cellar or garage. Then before bringing out into full light to flower, turn out -of the tin and transfer to a fancy bowl. In this way the latter may be used continuously. Practically any of the early tu- lips, and fill‘ nnrcissus, ‘daffodils and hyacinths, as well as many of i the little and rarer bulbs, can be grown successfully indoors. Plant three or foul" tulips, one or two llyacinths or daffodils and four to six ilarcissus to a six inch bowl. Merely cover the bulbs with the. fibre or earth pressed clown fivmly. Thoroughly saturate with lvnicrz; then put in a cold, dark place and j water occasionally.
