CHAPTER XI 



BULBS — TO KEEP YOU SMILING 



Bulbs! What is more 

 fascinating? There are 

 the httle brown shiny 

 ones that look hke over- 

 grown Spanish Chest- 

 nuts, and feel so satiny 

 smooth to your touch. 

 Then there are the un- 

 gainly turnip-like ones 

 that look as if they must 

 have been grown to chop 

 up for feed for the cows 

 in winter. And in an- 

 other basket, crinkled 

 little ones that look as 

 dead as door nails. 



And yet in these dull 

 baskets, what gorgeous 

 colors lay dormant! 

 What wonderful daubs of burning crimson, 

 gleaming yellow, and azure blue your iinpres- 



Bulbs to lend color to your 

 rooms in winter! You can 

 bring them to bloom in the 

 glass garden, and then enjoy 

 them, anywhere in the house, 

 for days.
