BULBS FROM THANKSGIVING TO EASTER 8/ 



will not force well so early in the year, and 

 should not be brought into heat until about 

 Christmas time, or later, according to when 

 the flowers are wanted. 



By bringing in the pots in batches in suc- 

 cession, at intervals of say ten days apart, 

 flowers can be had from about January 20th 

 until outdoor spring flowers appear. The 

 pots or pans merely need digging from the 

 ground and being put in the window gar- 

 den, and the bulbs will at once commence 

 to grow if not exposed to frost. On very 

 cold or windy nights move them back from 

 the window. They cannot help flowering 

 if given decent treatment. Failures with 

 bulbs are due, largely, to careless treatment. 



THE BEST TULIPS 



Good tulips for early forcing are Pros- 

 erpine, Yellow Prince, Chrysolora, Ver- 

 milion Brilliant, La Reine, Rose Grisdelin, 

 Cottage Maid. The other varieties do better 

 if not started until late in January or early 

 February. Do not try to force double 

 tulip^ until late in February. 



To get the Easter lily in flower for Easter, 

 forcing must be started early — not later
