Bulbs Started in December 



T^ECEMBER is from one to three months 

 -*— " late to plant bulbs for winter blooming, 

 but some kinds will give satisfactory results 

 even with so tardy a start. Several sorts 

 have flowered for us, potted between the 

 1 2th and i8th of December. These were 

 Roman hyacinths, in a dish of stones and 



Crocus flowers unfolding. Each corm sends up 

 several blossoms, unliKe many bulbous plants 



water and in a hyacinth glass; Chinese lily, 

 also in a dish of pebbles and water; crocus 

 and four kinds of narcissus, Von Sion, the 

 showiest of double yellows; poeticus, the 

 popular single white with colored cup; 

 Stella, a straw-colored medium trumpet sort, 

 and the polyanthus (Grand Monarque), 

 which was started in water.

The Chinese lily was the first, blooming 

 about the middle of January. The flowers 

 lasted for a week. The first week of Febru- 

 ary came the Roman hyacinths in stones 

 and water, followed nine days later by the 

 same sort in a hyacinth glass. On February 

 1 6th the first crocus opened, and they con- 

 tinued to send up flowers for twelve days. 

 The poeticus narcissus bloomed the third 

 week in February. There was an interval 

 of over three weeks before the later ones 

 flowered. Von Sion, Stella and Grand 

 Monarque bloomed about the middle of 

 March. 



The soil used for potting was a third each 

 of sand, leaf mold and good garden soil.
