THE FLOWER GARDEN Sweet peas can now be sown either for winter or spring flowering, according to the kind. Spring flowering bulbs should be planted; although they will probably lie dormant in the ground for some time, it is best to get them into the ground early as the blooms will consequently be improved. The ground should be deeply dug and the bulbs planted fairly deep after a good dressing of bone-dust has been applied. Planting would include all the various spring flowering bulbs the chief of which are anemones, tulips, ixias, daffodils, hyacinths, narcissi, ranunculus and soleil d'or.
