THE FLORAL WORLD 



ouglily. Have the bed three inches 

 higher in the middle. Set bulbs about 

 three inches apart and three inches 

 deep, make smooth on top and cover 

 with coarse litter four inches deep. 

 Notice in the spring when they are 

 coming up, and then remove the litter 

 so they will have room, but do not 

 take it all off until they commence 

 blooming. 



I never put double and single ones 

 together. I put each kind in a bed to- 

 gether so each bed will be a mass of 

 bloom at the same time. When done 

 blooming and tops die down, I take 

 them up and cure them as you would 

 onions, and store them away in a cool 

 dark place until the middle of Octo- 

 ber, when I put them out again. I 

 have larger and finer blooms by this 

 method than to leave them undisturbed 

 for years, as some recommend. I have 

 tried both ways. Mks. L. E. Jones.

TUB PLANTS 



Most of my choice plants and shrubs 

 are grown in "tubs." I like to change 

 the appearance of my lawn once in a 

 while, and it is easy to do it with 

 plants in tubs. The altheas are fine 

 grown in this way; they are easy to 

 keep moist, without which an althea 

 does not thrive, but kept wet they 

 rival the tree roses. Bignonias, 



acacias, alocassia, tree roses, crape 

 myrtle, oleanders, ferns (I have two 

 that are three feet across), cannas, 

 brugmansias, all do well as tub plants. 

 I am partial to climbers, and when 

 trained on a large trellis they break 

 the line and make a fine display. Sol- 

 anum Wendlandii is beautiful, so is a 

 large plant Of cobea, tecomas, ipomeas, 

 bignonias, hedychiums, crinums, 

 alpinias; but the nicest is a large 

 plant of cassia floribunda, deep green 

 foliage, topped with great bunches of 

 golden, pea-shaped flowers. Rich soil, 

 lots of water and rest in winter is all 

 it requires. Will stand a little frost 

 without hurt. Keep in winter as you 

 do the oleanders.
