More often than not flowers in pots and

water is poured upon the top of the soil,
and nothing more. It is far better to
submerge the entire pot in a bucket of

five minutes. In this way the roots at

Tucking little roots away,
Decking lanes with festal ray.

Smoothing roads, and everywhere
Bustling in her nother-care
Till each woodland curtains fold
Shines with crimson aud with gold.

Making trim her wales TO wait
Till upon them through the night
Crystal makes of fluffy white
Fall and hide them from the scene

Growing Hyaoiuths

"~--N-~@
The time for planting hyacinths is Sep
tember, October and November.
The size of the pot depends upon the
number OF bulbs planted in single oHe.
Three bulbs might be planted in pot six
inches in diameter, one or two in pots
proportionately smaller, two bulbs in a
pot being particularly effective. Water
we'll, and then bury the pots in the open
ground to the depth of six inches for
eight weeks, while, the necessary root
growth takes place. After this period
take up the pots and remove to room
not heated, but not SO cold as to freeze.
Do not put them into the sun for two or
three days, as when exposed to the light
for the first time they are delicate. OF
course growing from bulbs in this way is
hardly possible in the average city house
with no ground. In this case the plans
will have, to be started by a florist. or
bought at the stage where they have
commenced to come up.
Bulbs Grown in Water
Hyacinth growing in glasses is an in
teresting variation of the more usual
method, and one, for some reason, par
ticularly dear to the hearts of our grand
mothers. All old ladies who are fond of
flowers have one or more hyscinth glasses.
For this purpose, single varieties are
best. There glasses, as most persons
know. are peculiarly shaped, so that the
bulb is placed in the top part, in a sort
of cup. Fill the glass with water so that
it touches the bottom of the bulb. Put
in cool, dark place and keep there from
six to eight weeks before bringing into
the light.
Somewhat different from the glass,
though worked upon the same principle,
is the pebble-filled bowl, in which narcis.
sus, Chinese lilies and other types may
be planted. The water should be kept
flIed up, but not actually changed. A

Many Varieties Which are Easy to Grow
and Practical for House Decoration
The last rose of summer has tumbled
off the bush, and it is time to think about
winter gardens.
All summer We have had flowers in pro-
fusion. II We had none of our own, and
no money to spend at the florists, We
could at least pick them in the fields.
Now we are beginning to live indoors
again, and if we wish flowers We must
take them with us. There should be no
question about wanting them. Nothing
brightens room SO much. or makes it
as liyeal,le and honest.looking as grow
ing pants A fern or a bright geranium
will help, but whole window full Of
flowers is lovely.
standing order at the Aorist's provides
a simple and charming way Of ''besuti-
flying ones home," but like many simple
and charming things, it is frightfully ex-
pensiye, in the winter time. Growing
plants are more trouble, but to many per.
sons it is a pleasure to care for them, and
they are within the reach of the ordinary
purse.
For house culture nothing is more satis-
factory than bulbs. They are easy to
grow and give excellent results. Hya-
cinths, tulips, nsrcissus, Gala lilies and
freesias are especilly practical. Hya-
cinths may be grown in glasses as well as
in soil, narcissus and some Of the Chinese
lilies in bowls filed with pebbles and
