Nurcissus Bloom
From Mrs. r. Z. Guard,
663 HidedwGy Road,

Fairfa1, Va.
I am writing about my
Soleil dor narcissus bulbs.
Have grown some with good
success outside a terrace wall
near the east side Of the house.
They were well protected with
leaves and, until this summer.
by a large blue hydrangea bush.
Since its removal the narcissus
foliage grew all summer. never
died down at all until new
growth began over Q month
ago. Now there are two stalks
with six or seven flowers each
in full bloom. Perhaps others
also. Since 1t is hardly likely
that this foliage will mature
this fall. do you think the mar
cissus will bloom again in the
spring as for several years?
AWSIOCT
Yours is the first letter mem
tioning this effect Of our un-
usual season on bulbs. Have
noticed above ground growth
on several kinds, but no flowers.
It is likely you will have few,
If any, flowers because the new
flowers form after the blooming
season and 1t is doubtful If the
foliage will survive long enough
for such development. Our
winters are variable and it may
be that we shall have q mild
one. That might be your best
hope. but you could pot them
and grow them indoors until
the plants have time to develop
new flowers as they should.

Red Maple Leaves

From Mrs. Viola Sldttery.
1921 Connecticut Avenue,
Kensington, Md.
Why does not the Japanese
red maple stay red? Is the soil
in need Of some particular fer
tilizer?
AnSDer
There is variation in the de-
gree Of green or redness. to the
leaves Of the japanese naples.
Some hold their red color
throughout the season, others
only in the spring and in the
fall. It is for this reason that
desirable varieties are propa-
gated by grating. Fertilizing

Not likely, for a check through

perhaps, Just another proof of
