Growing Bulbs in Moss 
FTER reading with considerable 
interest the article on growing bulbs 
in fibre which appeared in the November, 
1907, number of THE GARDEN MAGAZINE— 
FarmMine, I tried an experiment with moss 
which may prove useful to other amateurs. 
The moss used is found very plentifully 
in the woods, and can be stripped off the 
rocks in large sheets. It was placed in 
vases, jardinieres, etc., following the direc- 
tions given for the use of fibre, and the 
results obtained were equally as good. 
An old incubator glass jar about twelve 
inches deep and six or seven inches in diame- 
ter filled with it, the green side being placed 
next to the glass, gave a very pleasing effect. 
If kept sufficiently moist, this moss will last 
fresh and green all winter, although I have 
gathered it in the woods as late as Decem- 
ber. 
The moss must not be too wet. Drain 
off all surplus moisture by turning the 
jardiniere over on its side. There must be 
at least an inch of drainage material, con- 
sisting of broken charcoal or pottery, in 
the bottom of the jar. Do not put the 
bulbs more than two inches below the 
surface and after planting place them in 
some cool place where the light is subdued. 
Keep them there until growth commences 
to show above the moss, when the jar- 
diniere may be brought into the light and 
warmth.

Controlling Cranberry Worms 
WS the supply of water above the 
cranberry bog is such thata pond or 
reservoir may be formed, both the yellow 
and black head worms can be effectually 
controlled. Draw the water off early, wait 
until all the eggs have hatched and some of 
the worms are nearly half grown, then re- 
cover the bog with water for forty-eight 
hours. New bogs should not be laid out 
without considering this matter of reflow- 
age. Covering the bog should begin in 
the late afternoon, and be completed before 
the next morning. On a rainy day it may 
begin at any time, the object being to 
prevent injury to the young shoots from 
the sun. Drawing off the water should be 
done in like manner, so that the bog will 
be dry the morning after it is begun. Re- 
flowing will help to check the girdle worm 
where abundant.
