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.
Large bulbs of Dutch hyacinths
can be grown In water In special

The Agriculture Department yes

new "emergency Increase in
railroad freight rates.
The department gave Its views
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which is considering a pe
tition from the railroads for a 13
per cent advance In freight
changes. The railroads have asked
an immediate "emergency" eiEht
im inciease while the pro
posed 13 per cent Increase is
studied.
Secretary ot Agriculture Bran

the ICC:
"There Is no showing whatever
of such an Immediate need for In
creased rates In the measure
sought as to outweigh the public
Interest In a proper adjudication
of the Issue In accordance with

Inlri vesterrtnv.
Tyler S. 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."
