Flowering Bulbs for House Culture 
Flowers in the House from Christmas Until Easter 
Provided directions are followed and except where stated otherwise, 
the Elliott Money-Back Bond applies to all Bulbs for indoor growing 
Y\ 7ITH only such facilities as every home has, and 
** with about as much trouble as it takes to keep 
the eight'day clock running, one may, by selecting 
bulbs in the proper classes, have flowers to bloom in 
the house all winter. The amount of skill required is 
so little that a twelve-year^old school girl should be 
able to do it as well as the most experienced profes- 
sional. The flowers produced are among the finest 
known to floriculture and you purchase exactly similar 
flowers all winter in the florist’s shops at three times 
as much as it would cost you to grow them yourself. 
If you are a beginner you will, of course, want some 
Hyacinths, since there is nothing easier to grow. You 
may use anything in the first sued named Hyacinths 
(page 34), the Miniature Hyacinths (page 38), or 
the Special Prepared Dutch Hyacinths for very early 
bloom, listed on page 36. Equally easy are the Single 
Early (page 22), and the Double Early Tulips (page 
26). The Triumph Tulips (page 24), grow as easily 
as the Early sorts. The Mendel Tulips (page 16), have 
been developed specially for forcing and are easiest of 
all to grow in this way. Then there are the Narcissi 
(page 29), which seem almost to grow themselves. 
There are also the Lily^oTthe'Valley and the Calla 
Lilies which require hardly enough attention to make 
the experience interesting. 
The Freesias are a little more difficult, though still 
quite simple. The Lilies require some skill and the 
beginner should prepare himself for some disappoint" 
ment the first time he attempts to grow them. Among 
late flowering Tulips the Breeders (page 12) and the 
Darwins (page 4) may be forced but to force them 
successfully requires real skill. Consequently, unless 
you are sure of your ability you had better stick to 
early Tulips and not try the Darwins and Breeders. 
Force your own flowers this winter. You will save 
money and have fun doing it.
