Easiest Bulbs to Grow in House, Flower in Water Easiest flowers for the amateur to grew in the house this winter are bulbs which need only water to enable them to flower. Botanists say a bub is a storehouse contain ing a new plant, plus food and energy sufficient to carry it to maturity. Warmth water and light start up grovth. but this must not be too rapid. Paper white narcissi, its yellow cousin narcissus s >liel d'or, and top size hyacinths are the varieties most comr. nly grown in water without sol. but crocuses, and grape hyacinths can be grown in bowls containing bulb fibre, and lily of the valley pips will flower in bowls with wet sphagnum moss packed ab ut their roots. Failure is usually duo to fast growth stin: ;lated by high temper atures. \\h;ch rc. .It in scanty roots, spindly t p growth, and no flowers at all. or very poor ones. Whether grown in gravel and water, bulb fibre, or soil, contain ers several inches deep should be used, so there is plenty of room for ro"ts. Set the bulbs close together, but do r. t let them touch. There should >f . ravel, soil or fibre beli v. them, and water should be kept only high enough to touch the base of the bulbs. R >ot f rmation precedes top gr vth and should take four weeks. A tempera '.are bcl v CO degrees is essent.al, and it may be kept be 1 w 50 Roots develop best in the dark, but with these bulbs a sub dued light is permissible. When the roots are fully developed, top growth will begin, and at this stage the bulbs can be given more light though it is well to keep them out of direct sun until flower stalks be gin to develop. Then give them all the light possible. Best II nvers will result if a tem perature of 6r> degrees is never ex ceeded. ? Be careful to keep the plants away from steam pipes and radiators, or living rooms heated above 70 degrees. They should be near windows where there is light Paper White Narcissi. and temperatures are lower. An enclosed porch or sunparlor where ventilation can be given, and tem peratures kept down, is the best place for the winter garden. ? Large bulbs of Dutch hyacinths can be grown in water in special glasses, which support the bulb just above the water, in which their roots develop. It takes 10 to 12 weeks for the roots to develop, in a dark place, in cool temper;. ture. When roots fill the glass, and top I growth begins, accustom the plant I gradually to light, and grow them ) slowly in a temperature under 65 j degrees. 1 Station Revises Flower Bulletin I A revised edition of the popular I bulletin "Perennila Flowers" was ! issued by the North Carolina j Agricultural Kxperiment Station this week.
