One month fromn potting to bloom is aIl that is required in growing cold storage pips. Yon cati corder theni at any time al %vinter, as needed. One of thenîost artistic mnethods of growing them is in bowvls of moist sphagnum rnoss. When they -are brought f rom cold storage the pre- liminary. freezing needed for1 roots dug from the garden is unnecessary. You simply plant themn and ini the course of about three weeks tlîey are in bloom. About 25 pips ini a good sized bowl, say about 7 inches across, will give a beautiful display. Plant them in moss, fiber or soif, keep shaded until well into growth and then bring to the light. They should be stored in a cool place while growth is starting and kept shaded. A pot turned over the bowl 'will furnish the shade necessary. They can be grown in souiin an or- dinary flower pot most easily of ail. Planted in November, tliev will be in flower bv Christmas, putting t1î'eni out about Thankýsgivinig time. Cold stor- age pips should be pla.nted as soon as received and they will start itito growth at once. Garden dug roots are slower and niust be left out to freeze and brought in as needed. The cold storage pip s have larger spikes and larger belîs, as they are spec- ially grown for indoor use and are THOMAS DECORATING CO..

RememberThat Bulbs .Also Require Feeding An impression is often lheld tliat I)lill)s which are newvly planted ini the faîl (Io not require plant food. It is truc that mature Iîullî have stored up food ini thcmsclves wvhicli largely sup- plies the energy for carly spring groivth, and whiich nîiiav l)c sufficient to produce a flower. But this is only- part of the story. At the timie the flawcrs is being pro- duced a large nunibler of roots are bcin- formced. Thiese roots seek in the soi] for plantfood and water whicli the\, supply to the growing lplant. If there is a deficiency of plant food, in the soi], the growth of the plant is greatly harnpcred. The production of a vigorous, perfect flowver of normal sîze and color requires this additional îiourishment taken from the sou, with- out -which the flower will certainlv suifer, and may fail entirely. Fully as importa nt as flower pro- duction is the development of well matured blubs for the following year's flowering. Bfflb plants that are neg- lected soon -become worthless. Since, bulbs start to grow s0 early in the spring, it is' difficult'to work plant food into the soil so as to get it down to the bulbs before g>wt staÉts. Lt is therefore advisable. to mix. a complete plant food thoroughly ini the bottom of the trench at the rate of two pounds per fifty feet of row before, planting the bulbs.
