Hints on Indoor Bulb Culture.

d1nCS on INDOOR buID culture.
No potted bulb should be removed
from the cellar before four weeks. II
the soil is kept moist bulbs may be
left in the dark two or three months.
No bulb can be successfully forced
without this period in the dark, for
during this time it is growing roots.
After bulbs are brought from the
cellar the tips should be gradually
exposed to the light and the soil mod
erately watered. AS soon as the stem
starts fairly to grow water more freely
and give more light, but keep the pots
in a moderately cool place in the room,
and not near the stove or register. A
temperature ranging from IS to IS de-
grees Fahrenheit is a proper one.
Hyacinths look best with long stems
To develop these stems cover the tips
for a few days with inverted brown
paper sacks till the buds show, then
expose to direct light See that the
pot is turned to the light on all sides.
This will help the buds to develop and
expand evenly.
Tulips may be made to last longer
if the stamens are clipped off when
the cups are fully expanded. This may
be easily done with a small pair of
shears. If one is skeptical as to this
point, the treatment may be applied to
part of the blossoms only, and the re-
suits closely watched.
If flowers are in demand for Christ
mas or any other holiday the bulbs
may be forced more RAPIDLY by an in
crease of solar heat and light. In
case the opposite, slow forcing is de-
sired the growth may be retarded by
setting the pots in some dark room or
cellar. A north window favors slow
growth, and is best adapted to- the
needs Of most bulbs.
All the more common bulbs may be
grown in water. Take any deep dish
and fill one inch of the bottom with
sand. Set the bulb in this and pile
around it white pebbles or small piec>
es of marble to hold it upright Keep
the sand constantly wet, but the water
should not stand above the base of the
bulb. Set in the cellar for six weeks,
and then bring gradually to the light.
Keep growing in a cool, we'll ventilat-
ed place.
When ported bulbs cease blooming
gradually withhold water, and the TO-
liage will turn yellow. Set pots and
all in the cellar, and leave them there
till the following fall. Then remove
the bulbs and set in some outdoor
bed, where they will probably bloom
the following spring. 1t hardly pays
to repot them for the house, unless
they are large and firm, and even then
they need complete change of SOIL
Exchange.

Hints on Roofing Slips.


simply. The cuttings should be small,
and several can be put in one saucer.
The sand must be kept so wet that 1t
is like mud, and the saucer must be
placed where it will get plenty Of sun.
Never shade from the sun, but protect
from the wind. This is all that is nee
essary to insure successful roofing
with good slips. When pouring water
on, care must betaken to do it very
gently, so as not to throw down or
even unsettle the slips.
The professional makes great use of
tiny pots, two inches in diameter at
the top and two inches deep. Rooted
slips do far better in small than in
large pots, where they are apt to be-
come waterlogged. They should be
potted in fine sandy soil and kept shad-
ed for two or three days until the roots
have time to strike into the soil. In
from four to eight weeks, according to
the nature of the cutting and the heat
it has had, the little pot will be filed
with a nest of roots and needs repOt-
ting, but do not use too large q PEI.
Swamp moss is so useful that any
commercial greenhouse would not
think of getting along without it. In
small pots half an inch at the bottom
is filled with this moss for drainage.
In six-inch pots and larger layer OF
an inch or more of charcoal is used in
the bottom and this covered with
moss. l have used dried grass in place
of moss with good results. 1t surely
pays to use moss or grass. Another
than the above, and not universally
known, is to keep the pots on rough
material, such as cinders, so that air
can get under them and water pass off
more freely. Pots placed on little
blocks of wood do nicely. This drain
age question is especially important
with roses as they especially dislike
excess of water at the roots.
There is one simple rule for getting
cuttings at the proper stage. If on
bending the slip it breaks off short it
is good. If it bends without breaking
it is too old. One of the most certain
methods and one which does least in
jury to the parent plant where many
slips are wanted, and especially good
for foliage plants that are liable to
rust under common treatment, is call
ed 'layering in the air. The shoot is
cut, but left hanging to the plant by
bit of bark, and is allowed to hang
there for 10 or ~ days. The wound
heals over, and if the plant has been
kept in a moist atmosphere, the slip
will already have begun to root in the
air but even if 10 roots have been
sent out, the healed surface is the first
step toward roofing, so all that is nee
essary is to detach it and plant it in
tiny pot I have also rooted begonias,
geraniums, wax plants and oleanders
in a bottle of water. Fill the bottle up
to the neck with warm water and in
sert the cutting half inch in the wa
ter, letting the top extend out from the
