VARIOUS BULBS. 



Please tell me how to handle the fol- 

 lowing bulbs to force them, or at least 

 to get them in early: Anemone Apen- 

 nina, A. fulgens, A. stellata and A. 

 nemorosa in variety, fritillarias, ixias, 

 Gladiolus nanus and Spanish iris. Is 

 there a handy manual on bulbs, includ- 

 ing the forcing of rare bulbs? J.M. 



None of the bulbs named will stand 

 more than a moderate amount of forc- 

 ing. All should be grown moderately 

 cool. If forced like tulips, narcissi or 

 lilies they will, one and all, be ruined. 

 The several anemones named succeed 

 well in a violet house temperature. If 

 you should be growing double violets, 

 plant some of these or any of the 

 ranunculi, another beautiful class of 

 spring bulbs, between the rows, or 

 plant them in flats and bring them 

 along in a cool, airy house. You can 

 also keep them in flats in coldframes, 

 or plant direct in the frames for spring 

 blooming, giving a coating of dry 

 leaves as a winter protection. One 

 variety you have not named, A. coro- 

 naria, is excellent. For spring flower- 

 ing The Bride, pure white, is fine. 



Fritillaria Meleagris and alba, also 

 aurea, latifolia, etc., can be grown in 

 pots or pans of sandy, porous loam and 

 gently forced. Such sortEit,.as biflora, 

 Oranensis, Sewerzowi and lUiacea suc- 

 ceed well planted in frames. They natu- 

 rally flower early and sashes should be 

 placed over them before the weather 

 becomes too severe. Air freely, to pre- 

 vent damping off, when growth has 

 started. 



Ixias succeed well in shallow pans; 



6-inch is a good size. Use light, sandy 

 loam and grow in a cool, well ventilated 

 greenhouse. Gladiolus nanus and Span- 

 ish iris require similar treatment. They 

 can be planted in benches, but a more 

 profitable plan is to plant in flats four 

 or five inches deep. Keep in a cool 

 pit or frame until nicely above ground. 

 Then place in a temperature of 45 

 to 50 degrees at night, in batches, to 

 provide a succession of bloom; 50 de- 

 grees should be the absolute maximum 

 at night for either the iris or gladiolus. 

 I do not know of any special manual 

 treating on the forcing of rare bulbs, 

 but the catalogues of some of the noted 

 European specialists contain consider- 

 able cultural data. C. W.
