LEGEND OF THE

became moro frequent and annoying.
The troublesome neighbors tegan to
forage upon them. and devastated
their farms.
So. to save their lives they built
houses high up on the cliffs, where
they could store food and hide away

FOR CHRISTMAS FLOWERS.
Raising Bulbs in the Window Garden
 and in the House Cellar.
The Garden Magazine


 The Roman hyacinths and paper white narcissi are SO easily grown for Christmas flowers that the amateur should not neglect to start up a few bulbs of each. Pot the bulbs in Au- gust. placing three bulbs in f1ve-inch pot. and using soil as for tho Dutch bulbs. Give one good watering and plunge the pots in a frame or in the cellar (where they can be covered with coal ashes) Tn about six weeks they will be thoroughly rooted and may be brought into the light.
 For the window garden there is noth- ing better than these two easily grown bulbs. If only few pots are brought into the light at one time a longer sea son of bloom can be assured than if all the supply is started into growth at once.
 It Is very important that the place where the pots are plunged for root ing the bulbs Is quite free from frost. The Roman hyacinths are very sensitive to cold and failure in their growth Gas in the case of the Dutch hyacinth tool Is more often due to frost reaching the bulbs than to all other cultural short comings combined.
