PLANTING INDOORS AND OUT 
FREESIAS 
For growing indoors Not hardy 
These colorful, fragrant blooms are really among the most at- 
tractive of Winter flowers. Large numbers are grown annually in 
greenhouse establishments, but they will also do very well if 
grown in the sunny windows of a cool room or sun parlor. It is 
impossible, however, to grow them in the warm temperature of 
the average living room. 
Plant about six bulbs in a 6-inch pot. Use a light, moderately 
rich, fibrous soil. Water generously immediately after planting 
and then less freely until the plants are well started. Plenty of 
water and sunshine are required as they approach flowering.

GLADIOLUS—“‘The Baby Type’’ 
For growing indoors Not hardy 
Charming blooms with an exquisite, fragrant daintiness. The 
miniature ‘““Glads”’ will not adapt themselves to growing outdoors 
during the Summer months, but they are excellent when grown 
indoors in a moderate temperature, to bloom during the late Win- 
ter months. They should be grown in the same manner as Free- 
sias. and one should never attempt to raise them in the modern 
living room atmosphere.

HYACINTHS 
Hardy bulbs For growing indoors or out 
Because of their beauty and fragrance, and because they bloom 
at the same time and combine so charmingly with Daffodils, Hya- 
cinths should play a part in every Spring garden. They are also 
hard to beat as pot plants for house decoration during the Winter 
months. 
For out-of-door growing, Hyacinths may be planted in any 
reasonably good garden soil, but a well-drained location is always 
desirable. Set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart, with their tops at least 
4 inches below the surface. After the first hard freeze, cover the 
bed with a light application of some such material as Salt Marsh 
ay. 
Our English-grown stock consists of five colors only and the 
bulbs, although not as large as the Giant Hyacinths of former 
_ years will give results that will be more than satisfactory.
