001C95FE October 12, 1928. THE ~ST VAN NESVS GARDENS AND GARDENINGCHORAL SOCIETYNORMAN@'S SPEGIALS FOR Saturday 5 Monday Ask to see Home -Made Cakes By BIINA G. HUFF, Landscape Architect14th and illarinefor It is desired that all those in- tending to become associate members of the IVest Vancouver Choral Society send in their sub- scriptions as promptly as pos- sible as the programs for the first concert are now being pre- pared. As the names of all associate members will appear on the pro- gram it is desired that the list be complete before going to press. The subscription is $5.00 for an Associate membership in the Society which entitles the hold- er to 2 reserved seats for each concert. Cheques may be made payable to the Royal Bank of Canada and mailed to the bank direct or handed to any member of the Society. The date for the first concert has been set for Tuesday night, December 11th, in the Hollyburn Theatre. The program will consist of Verdi's "Stabat Mater" with or- chestral accompaniment and a second half of solos and carols. The Society now has 90 mem- bers and at the next practice it is expected this will be increased to 95. Any members joining after the next practice will be inelig- ible to take part in the first con- cert but as practise for the sec- ond concert will begin at once they will be able to take part in the preparation for the second concert. It is hoped that members and prospective members will re- member that the practises start at 8.15 and members are asked to get to the hall in plenty of time to be ready.

True the dahlias and chrys- anthemums are still blooming but the dahlia at least is doomed to go with the first hard frost. After all outdoor bloom has pone we either have to fall back on the florist for our winter blos- soms or go to a little trouble and grow our own. And it is such a little trouble to secure a few good tulip, hyacinth, narcis- sus and freezia bulbs and grow them indoors. Possibly it is lack of knowledge as to how to go a- bout the indoor culture of bulbs ivhich has deprived many peoI'le of the enjoyment of fresli frag- rant growing flowers durinIg the winter months. The first suc- cess will enthuse you so that you will never again let winter pass without having some bulbs set aside for indoor growing. Hyacinth bulbs for indoor cul- ture should be large and solid. Pot each bulb in a five inch pot in a mixture of loam, sharp sand and leaf mold. Fragments of broken flower pot should be placed in the bottom of each pot for drainage, and the pot filled loosely with the soil mixture. Press the bulb down into it until only the top of it remains above the surface. The pots should then be buried in soil to a deptii of eight to ten inches, with a lay- er of coal ashes beneath to keep out worms, and allowed to re- main for seven or eight weeks. A sheltered southern exposure is best, but any place where the ground is not likely to freeze very hard will do. Upon taking up the pots you will find that the bulb has sent out a shoot, and the plants are ready to be taken inside. Keep them in a subdued light at a temperature of about 50 Degrees, until the shoots have assumed a vigorous green color. KVater lightly a- bout twice a day, a little manure water will help, but the less forc- ing you do the longer the bloom will last. Some of the hyacinths best adapted for pot culture are:-- Grand DIaitre, deep lavender blue; Gertrude, rosy pink; King of the Yellows, deep yellow. A few of the single hyacinths may be grown indoors in water. Glasses for the purpose may be purchased. They should be fill- ed with pure water and the bulb so placed that only the very bot- tom is touching the water. Place the glasses in a dark cool place until the root system has devel- oped and the shoot is about three inches long. Usually from eight to ten weeks is required. Do not place in bright light for several days, but when hardening off is completed, place in an airy sunny window. Keep the water at a- bout the same level by adding fresh as required. L'Innocence, pure white; Grand Maitre, deep lavender blue, and Lord Balfour, lilac, fringed violet, are among those best suited to water culture. A continuous bloom of freesi- as may be enjoyed from Christ- mas until June by successive planting from August to Febru- ary. Use the same soil mixture as for hyacinths, although a little more fibrous material may be used if convenient. Plant five or six bulbs in a five inch pot. These bulbs do not require to be stored or kept cool as do tulips and hyacinths for they root quickly and grow rapidly. Bloom may be secured from ten to twelve weeks after planting so that bulbs planted now will like- ly bloom for Christmas or New Years. Keep the soil moist and the bulbs in a reasonably cool place. By that I mean away from direct heat. California--a large golden yellow, and Splendens--a beau- tiful lavender, are splendid for indoor culture. 2 tins 22c 2 lbs. 16c Pork and Beans. Icing Sugar ...
