Our All the Year Round Garden Family

little brother Jonqul. Sometimes great
big Fat lIyaclnth behaves. but small,
brown-coated. sm0Oth-l0Oking, long
nosed Daffodil is quite the incest. So
buy few daffodi and jonquil bulbs
and get acquainted with these two good
children.
Notice particularly how similar lit

There are several ways Of doing this.

builder II he will give us lust a little
sand for our garden SInto this bowl

our jonquil bulbs. They must nestle
down so that only a little bit OF their
noses stick out. Two bulbs must
never touch each other. They would
not be comfortable that way. Two lit

close to each other at the breakfast
table that neither one could move
We must always make our plant chill

they do not like the light, and want al
ways TO remain cool and covered. The
noses have turned green. And within
about three weeks Daffodil and jon
quill blossom!
Sometimes instead OF using the sand,
place some small stones in. a low.
pretty bowl and arrange the bulbs on
top OF them. This bowl should be put
away in the dark for about ten days or
two weeks and then brought out into
the light. There should always be
enough water 20 touch the base OF the
bulbs but never 10 come around them.
This you see, is just the way we start

better than the Chinese lilies because
her blossoms rarely blast.
