Houghton Florist Tells Story Of

There are hundreds OF potted Easter
call at the local horists's establishment

or have them sent To their various
home TO add to the glory and beauty
OF the celebration of the glad Easter
tide. Where do all of these beautiful
flowers come from? That was the
question that suggested itself TO the
reporter and he proceeded to find
cut.
As luck would have IL Manager York

porter called. He was busy arrang-
ing the flowers that had just been
brought to the store from the hot
houses OF the concern, but stopped AMI
took great pains to explain the pro-
cess Of which the Easter lily is reared
from the tiny bulblet. growing in the
soil of another land to the symetrical

the store and covet.
Bulbs From Other Lands.
II am glad you have come" said
Mr.. York. when the reporter had made
known the purpose of his call, more
glad than ordinarily because l have
noticed an article in another paper
which is full OF erroneous ideas con-
corning the methods Of growing AMI
handling the Easter lily. The princi-
pal things wrong in the article to
which I refer are the statements that
the blooms are difficult TO grow and
that they are kept in cold storage un-
I'll just before they are needed and
then brought into a temperature Of so
degrees II is not very difficult to grow
the lilies. only ordinary care being
needed, an they are never placed in
cold storage or brought from there in
to such a hot room. Such treatment
would cause them TO wither almost in
stantly.
"All the Easter lilies in the Amer
lean market" began the florist, ARE
grown from bulbs imported from Ber-
muda, Formosa or Japan. These bulbs
are grown I'm enormous quantities n
those countries and their biggest mar
ket is America. A bulb Is only q
grown-up bulblet. The growers plant
the parent bulb in the soil and the
bulblets grow out upon the bottom
OF this. when they have grown to the
size Of a pea. these bulblets are re-
moved and are sown upon the soil, like
grain. Here they become rooted and
grow until they are either three or four
years old when they are ready for
market and are taken from the soil
and dipped in clay bath coating them
over with the clay and excluding the
air. These are then carefully pack
ed into boxes filled with chaff from
grains tos prevent their being bruised
