Tulips for pot culture do well in a mixture of two parts of fine garden soil and one part ivell rotted manure, with a little sanrl mixed in. Three to five bulbs may he planted in a five inch pot. Fill the pots with the loose soil and press the bulbs into it until only the tops remain un- covered. Pack the soil tightly around the bulbs and cover the pots with soil or leaves to pre- vent freezing, or place the pots in a cool dark cellar until the bulbs are firmly rooted. This will usually require from five to six weeks. Bring into the house and water freely but not to ex- cess. If it is very cold outside it will be advisable to keep plants away from the windows at night. After the flowers appear care should be taken that the direct rays of the sun through a ivin- dow do not burn the floivers. Yearly all of the single varie- ties are suited to pot culture. Of the reds, Brilliant Star, Cou- leur de Cardinal and Crimson Brilliant are dependable. Pros- perity, a rosy pink. La Reine, white shaded pink; Primrose Queen, for yellow. Of the early double tulips which cannot be forced quite so early as the single, the follow- ing do well: Yellow, Couronne D'r, Red, Imperator Rubrorum; Pink, Peach Blossom. For a succession of bloom, pot a few bulbs every two weeks from now until December. Hyacinth glasses may be used for irater culture of tulips, and the same method used as for hy- acinths with the exception that the tulips should only be left in the dark closet for about ten days and then brought out anrl given plenty of air and light. To groiv the Paper White Nar- cissus and the Chinese Sacred Lily very little trouble is neces- sary. Simply secure some shal- loir dishes such as soup bowls or bulb boivls, which may be ob- tained in many stores and pick up a feiv clean pebbles with which to prop up the bulbs in the bowl, so that only the roots of the bulbs will stand in the water. Add clean water from time to time as required. "Anxious," asks the following "What plants or shrubs would you advise for planting in my window boxes now that the ger- aniums and other flowers are al- most over. Answer:--KVindow boxes are too frequently stored out of sight for the ivinter, or irorse still are left with the old frozen down plants pathetically adorn- ing them. It is encouraging to hear of your interest in replac- ing the plants to avoid this. Small boxwoods symmetrical- ly trimmed are satisfactory. Cy- press, Veronica plants are inex- pensive and hardy while for a gayer box one might have Heather of the winter blooming variety. Would suggest as be- ing most satisfactory for Car- nea. Spring bulbs may be plant- ed as soon as the present plants are removed and will brighten up the appearance of the boxes early in spring. Snowdrops, scillas and crocus are most de- lightful and the early tulips are also satisfactory. AVe deliver. Phone AVest 65 BE I-I ER BREAD N'e all want the utmost in value for the money we spend.
