A Fragrant Indoor Plant Lily of The Valley Blooms in Twenty one Days Easiest of All Bulbs to Force. Besides being a fine spring garden flower, for indoor planting, the lily of the valley is unique. Easiest of all bulbs to force into flower, they are deliciously fragrant, as well as beau tiful. The prepared bulbs, or pips as the seedmen call them, which are held in cold storage in a dormant condition are available to everyone, and this modern way to plant them does away with the trouble of dig ging them from the garden. Many like to prepare their own pips from the garden, however, and this may be easily done. Pot them a3 you take from the garden and al low them to freeze. Then, bring into the house and set in a sunny window. The only requisite to be sure of blooms is that a blooming sized pip is planted, the bud being already formed and dormant in the pip. Prepared pips are so certain to bloom that it is hardly worth while to dig them in the garden. One month is all that is needed to get bloom from potted pips; a little long er if you dig them yourself. Lilies of the valley bulbs or pips must be specially prepared for forc ing, and come out of cold storage when you plant them. Do not buy more at a time than you wish to plant, as they spoil quickly after be ing taken out of storage. Instead of pebbles use moss to hold them up right in the bowl. Pack the moss loosely about them and keep them in a warm, dark closet, with temper ature about 65 degrees, until leaves and spikes are well developed. If you have no dark closet, an inverted flow er pot over the bowl will shade them. When buds have formed, if they are exposed to the light gradually the color of the foliage will develop best, and by the time the fragrant, bell- shaped flowers are open the leaves will be a delicate green. It takes about twenty-one days to produce flowers. WILL TTT.ATi SECTJEITY BOARD "Washington.
