The rnost popular bulbs f'or forcing are paper- wvhite narcissus, hyacinths, daffodils and tulips. You might want to try crocus, grape hyacinths, iris reticulata, or scilia but you shouid grow themi in a cool rooîn of about 550 F. The bulbs you buy should be plunip, solid and free of blemishes. The largest size is usualiy the best. You should choose a container with a drainage hole at the bottom. You should select a container that is twice as high as the bulb. This will aliow adequate root development. When you are using new dlay pots, soak them for at least one day before putting up your bulbs. By soaking the new pot you remove any injurtous cheinicals present in the new one. You should use a loose, crunîbly soil for best results. A good potting mixture would be one part soil, one part peat- moss and one part sand or vermiculite. Soul straight from the garden is usually too compact without you mixing somne of the above additives mbt the soul. Once you have the container and soul ready, the first step is to place pieces-of broken pottery or small stone over the drainage hole to prevent clogging and* to keep the soul froîn flowing out. Next, partially fiI the pot with the sou] mixture. Place enough soul in the pot so that when the bulb is placed on top, the top will reach the cdge of the container. Bulbs should be gently pressed into the sou]. Do not force themi down as it may daniage the base of the bulbs. The bulbs should be placcd so they alrnost touchi one another, Fi the pot with as many of thli as possible for a fuller effect when in flower. This is especialiy truc Mien smnallcr bulbs sucli as crocus and grape hyacinthis are used. When you have the builbs in place, filtde container with soi], fillering it down bctwvcen th)e bnilbs.

We're giving you plenty of Iegroom up front. And fan. fastic headroom. We've also done a nice thing for your nase. Our new windshield is pushed way forward, and curved. Ifs actually 42%o larger. For comfort, the seats, f00, are curved. Ancd for safety, inertia type seatbelts buckle up as standard equipment. The padded dlash is completely redesigned. To be read in a flash. Getting in and ouf of the bock seat of the Bug is now pretty easy even for non-athletic types. And we've had sonne very fresh ideas about air. And how to circulate if. Our remarkajble improved venti- lation system even de-fogs the side windows.

The casiest way is to plonge theri in a pan of waler, about klf way up, and let il soak until the top surface of the soui ooks- -and féecs nîoist. Label each container, noting the date planted, the vani- eity and color. You should give your plan ted bulbs at least 12 weeks of 'cold.' Most tulips and daffodils need 14 weeks of cold treatînent. This 'cold' trcatmnent can be provided by placing the containers in an outdoor rooting bed or indoors in a cold area. Containers kcpt indoors must be watered regularly, This is most important to achieve good resuits. In indoor rooling the containers should be kept in a dark spot, which can be accomplished by covening the containers. You can dig a pit outside and bury the pots of buibs. Set the pots as close together as possible and cover with 1 or 2"V of sand. On top of the blanket of sand add a layer of about 6" of soi]. As soon as coid weather sets in, cover the bed with a protective blanket of straw or leaves. This will prevent any deep frost daniage. IAnecdote s . 1 20 Os i r relived
