DUTCH BULBS FOR EASTER. 



I would like to know when to bring 

 in miniature Dutch hyacinths and tulips 

 to force for Easter. They have been out 

 all winter. We also have a few hundred 

 Dutch hyacinths, Eomans and tulips that 

 were put out January 19 and on which 

 I find no growth, either at the roots or 

 tops. The weather was warm when put 

 out. They were put in 6-inch pots and 

 covered with four inches of soil. Im- 

 mediately after covering there came a 

 hard rain, which was followed by a hard 

 freeze, and it has just thawed again. 

 How shall I treat them? I did want 

 them for Easter, but think perhaps they 

 would not do. I am trying a few in the 

 cellar. C. H. H. 



It is difficult to tell to a nicety just 

 flow long a time should be allowed for 

 hyacinths and tulips for Easter flower- 

 ing. Everything depends on the weather. 



We should say that three weeks would 

 be ample time if the bulbs are well 

 sprouted and given a night temperature 

 of 50 to 55 degrees. If it is found that 

 they will be a little too forward, it is 

 easy to retard them in a north house or 

 cellar. At this late season the bulbs 

 should be sufficiently sprouted to go 

 right in the light at once. This will in- 

 sure you much more stocky plants, also, 

 if they are for sale in pots or pans. If, 

 on the other hand, they are for cut flow- 

 ers, it would be as well to draw them 

 up a little in the dark (under a bench 

 will do) before placing in full light. 



We are afraid the bulbs placed in pots 

 or flats so late as January 19 will be of 

 no use for Easter. This is far too late 

 a date to start any of this class of 

 bulbous stock. After the end of Novem- 

 ber the bulbs have lost so much of their 

 stamina that they make but feeble 

 growth. If the bulbs in the pots or 

 fiats show no growths it would be use- 

 less to attempt forcing them. Keep 

 them outdoors or place in a cellar until 

 the growths are two or three inches long 

 before placing under glass. Be sure you 

 have good roots on the bulbs before you 

 start forcing, and get them in the soil 

 earlier another season. C. W. 



TROUBLE WITH TULIPS. 



In trying to force my tulips this year 

 I find that- I am having lots of trouble. 

 The bulbs on being brought in appear all 

 right, but after they begin to push up 

 some go ahead of the others. On exam- 

 ining those that fail to grow I find them 

 well rooted and, . on cutting the bulb 

 open, on the inside rotten and mushy.
