NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURS. OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1948 ELEVEN ) Easiest Bulbs To Grow In House Flower in Water Easiest flowers (or the ama teur to grow In the house this winter are bulbs which need on ly water to enable them to flow er. Botanists say a bulb is a store house containing - a new plant, plus food and energy sufficient to carry it to maturity1. Warmth, water and light start up growth, but this must not be too rapid. Paper white narcissi, its yellow cousin narcissus soliel d'or, and top size hyacinths are the va rieties most commonly grown In water without soli; but crocuses, and grape hyacinths can be grown in bowls containing bulb fibre, and Illy ot the valley pips will flower in bowls with wet sphagnum moss packed about tneir roots. Failure is usually due to fast growth stimulated by high tem peratures, which result In scanty roots, spindly top growth and no flowers at all, or very poor ones. Whether grown In gravel and water, bulb fibre, or soil, contain ers several Inches deep should be used, so there Is plenty of room for roots. Keep Bulbs Apart Set the bulbs close together, but do not let them touch. There should be two inches of gravel, soil or fibre below them, and wa ter should be kept only high enough to touch the base of the bulbs. Root formation precedes top growth and should take four weeks. A temperature below 60 degrees is essential, and it may be kept below BO. Roots develop best )n the dark, but with these bulbs a subdued light is permis sible. When roots are fully developed, top gtrwth will begin, and at this stage the bulbs can be f Wrn more light though it Is well to keep them out of direct sun un til flower stalks begin to develop. Then give them all the light pos sible. Best flowers will result if a temperature ot 65 degrees Is nev er exceeded. Be careful to keep the plants away from steam pipes, and radiators, or living rooms heated above 70 degrees. They should be near windows where there Is light and temperatures are lower. An enclosed porch or sunparlor where ventilation can be given, and temperatures kept down, Is the best place for the winter garaen.

Rogers, of the Owens- i Corning Fiberglass Corp., Toledo, i O., told the annual convention of the National Safety Council that too many safety rules are being broken In the rush to build new homes. 'The pressure of cost Is mak ing houses smaller," he asserted. "The stairs are being squeezed down, Inch by Inch, to make space for oilier rooms. We are, I fear, building broken legs and arms, nocks and heads into altogether too many new houses." Rogers said hazards being built Into now homes Include poorly constructed stairways, inadequate lighting, unsafe floors, improper ly constructed cupboards and cabinets, doors that swing the wrong way and poor traffic ar rangements. Ropers advocated stricter en forcement of "adequate" building codes to govern the designer or builder "ho plans more with an eye to low cost or high profit than to the safety of the house he creates."
