With the possession of a green
house, almost any kind of flower
can be successfully grown, usually
the selection is! governed by the
owner. There is one flower that
should be added to a faTorite col

the Orchid. Many Orchids can
"be grown with entire success in
any average greenhouse,- that is,
one having a night . temperature
of 60jto 55 degrees and a day
temperature of $5 to 75 degrees.
Although the; initial cost-of an
!. orchid plant is high compared to
that of other flowers; it should be
remembered that they need no
: renewal, a plant lasting and IIow

bulbs. . 4;;;
'After their first year of bloom
they take on a different charac
ter outdoors. and produce smaller
and more ; numerous spikes of
much more grace and fewer flow
erg, to a spike. v
The reason for this Is that they
are assuming their natural habi
tat. The same Is true to a great
extent of tulips.
They; do not- make such huge
blooms after the first year but are
big enough! to satisfy anybody.
The Holland bulb growers raise
their bulbs for sale and to devel
op the largest possible flower
production. ; .
Buds ot tulips and hyacinths
are pinched out as soon as thly
appear so that the whole strength
of the plant may be thrown into
the bulb. In this manner the bulb
when imported produces its max
imum blooms. i .
: The hyacinth la its looser
spikes is much more graceful than
in Its heavy spiked form, but is
not so formal. The smaller spikes .
of old planted bulbs are beautiful
material for cutting; for which
purpose the heavy formal spikes
are not at all adapted. I
The hyacinth requires the same
soil conditions , as the tulip. It
should be planted six Inches deep
from the shoulder of the bulb and
not closer : than six : inches apart
in the bed. Eight or ten Inches Is'
better. f. - ,
, Hyacinths need it mulch of
some light materia as they come
through the soil very early In the
spring and i If unprotected the
opening blunt-nosed i spike some
limes catches rain and a sudden
freeze may damage the spike.
A light mulch which can be
readily removed and replaced ob
viates any such difficulty. Hya
cinths should . not ba given any
manure In the soil.jTbey 1 ripen
their foliage much earlier, than
either tulips and 'daffodils and
therefore are more conveniently
handled garden subjects, as an
nuals may; be planted over the
beds or the bulbs may be. dug In
time to use the beds in regular
garden operations.'
The named varieties will give
fine bloom outdoors but unnamed
varieties purchased either to col
or or in mixtures are the besf for
bedding. Catalogues list the bed
ding garden, which is taore prac
tical than, the named types.
