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

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.
