[Photo News Ltd Bulbs are easy to grow indoors to provide a cheerful display of blooms in the winter months. They can be grown in bowls, when bulb fibre should be used instead of soil. For bulbs in plant pots, a wad of rough leafy material (see heap on the right) should be put in the bottom of the .pot, and covered with a thick layer of good garden soil. The bulbs should then be put in place and more soil packed firmly round them so that the soil comes to within fin. of the top of the pot, and the noses of the bulbs are just covered.
