FORCE BULBS IN WATER OR PEBBLES FOR EARLY BLOOMING THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Pag® Five MOOSE LODGE WED FIFTY-FOUR YEARS . 'Teen-Age Club The McHenry Moose Lodge would like to announce to all the 'teens of our tfown, the beginning of a club especially/or them. As you may already knOw, there are dances held the first and third Thursdays of every month at the Moose lodge on route 120. At our last dance, Feb. 7, the officers and committees were chosen to head this club, which has been discussed at our dances for quite awhile. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Lance Parks, who has worked very hard and given up much of his own time to keep these dances going and give the club a start. Our elected officers are Lance Parks, president; Eleanor Wirfs, vice-president; ' Eileen Noonan, secretary; and Shirley . Jager, treasurer. There are three committees. Entertainment, publicity and membership. We hope# this club will be very successful, but.; we will need new members to help popularize it. The dances are held from 7:30 to 1 p.m. and any teen is welcome. The next dance and meeting will be the twenty-first of this month. After this, the dates for the dances will be found in the "Coming Events" section. Hope to see you the twenty-first. Lynne Buckie, Publicity Chairman. Colorful spring flowers will add a* note of interest to your home within a few weeks if you plant them now. C. E. Ackerman, University of Illinois floriculture specialist, says that hyacinths, crocuses and daffodils are the easiest and best firing bulbs to force indoors. iiese bulbs contain miniature plants that are ready to grow and flower wherf you give them proper light, moisture and temperature. The flower colors include white, yellow, pink, red, blue and lavender. " . Forcing bulbs in water or in pebbles is the simpleit and cleanest method.v Bulbs forced this way, however;1' are practically Worthless for;, .future use and should be mswirded after they bloom. These bulbs will bear flowers about five weeks after planting. You can xhave a succession of blooms from January to April if you plant them about 10 days apart over a period of several months. You can use them to decorate the table, the living room 14^- other areas in your home. jfo force bulbs in this way, place a Ifalb atopji/sfciss of clean water, preferably rain water. The top of the glass will support the bulb. Be sure the base of the bulb does not quite touch the surface of the water. The roots will grow and1 reach the water within a short time. If you use pebbles, select small, Jean, evenly graded ones. Either lite or colored ones are satis- . factory. Put them in an attractive, shallow bowl. Press the bulbs firmly into the pebbles. Then add enough clean water to bring the water level just below the base of the bulbs. The roots will soon develop and spread throughout the pebbles to support the bulbs firmly. A word of caution: Hie most rtjpiportanf thing in forcing bulbs, regardless of method, is to get substantial fro&t development before top growth begins. You can •do this by 'fitting the planted bulbs in a dark, place where the temperature is'Very cool, but not freezing, for-about 10 days. These bulbs do not, force satisfactorily at high temperatures. •<* When the,-rodts are about two taches long/ pal the bulbs in a v%ht and warmer room, preferably near a north or an east window. After the tops are entirely green, move the bulbs to a place near a south window to complete their growth. Frequently^ replace the water lost from tfte ^container through absorption -by, the plant or by evaporation. ^Usually you will not need to fertilize the plant.
