Is SCHOOL AND HOME GARDENS 
The bulblets will produce plants that will flower the 
second year, but they will not be prolific bloomers until 
the third year. Space in a schoolroom window is too 
valuable to wait so long for results. If pupils can find 
room for them at home, the experience of bringing 
them to bloom will be valuable and interesting. Only 
the strongest bulblets should be used. A five-inch pot 
will be large enough for three of them. Plant in the 
same way that the larger bulbs are planted, and give 
them the attention usually given to window plants. 
THE Easter LILY 
Any one who has had some degree of success in culti- 
vating bulbs may try the Bermuda lily (Liliam harrisic), 
generally known as the Easter lily. Use the same kind 
of soil as for other fall bulbs. Select large bulbs; the 
smaller ones will bloom, but they seldom give satisfac- 
tory results. One bulb may be put into a six-inch pot. or 
three may be planted in a ten-inch pot. Place the bulbs 
so that the tops will be three inches below the edge of 
the pot; fill soil around them firmly and barely cover 
the tops of the bulbs. This lily produces two sets of 
roots: One set comes from the base of the bulb; it 
furnishes nutriment for the development of the plant. 
The other set is thrown from the stalk sent up by the 
bulb; the office of this set is to provide support for the 
plant. After the plants are taken from storage, soil 
should be filled in around the stems until each pot is
