HELPFUL HINTS 
Bulbs of Paper-whites, Soleil d’Or, and the Chinese 
Sacred Lily are set in bowls, with white pebbles to 
hold them in place. No drainage ts necessary. Rain- 
water or distilled water is a great help in growing them 
successfully. Store the bulbs tn a cool, airy, dark place 
for ten days. The bulbs grow best in a sunny room 
with a temperature not over 65° F. A plant-food tablet 
for every six bulbs every two weeks during the grow- 
ing period will give the bulbs a lift. Paper-whites 
usually bloom in seven to eight weeks. Chinese Sacred 
Lilies take a little longer, and the Soleil d’Or Narcissus 
require nine to ten weeks. 
Lily-of-the-Valley pips are the easiest of all to grow. 
Plant 15 pips in a 7-inch bowl that ts at least 5 inches 
high. No drainage is needed. Set them in moist sphag- 
num moss, packed firmly, allowing the pips to pro- 
trude above the moss. Place directly in a room tempera- 
ture of 65° F. and in partial shade until leaves and spikes 
are well developed; then admit full light gradually and 
increase the temperature to 75° F., if possible. Usually 
about 25 days are required to bring the pips into bloom.
