Spring Bulbs Forced Indoors


Narcissus, grape hyacinth, and lily of the valley forced indoors in unfinished wooden flats that were sprinkled with fast-growing grass seed. How nice. Photographed from one of my books: Paradise Contained, Growing and Decorating with Flower Bulbs by Kathryn George and Mary Sears. Photography by William Stites.
Get started now and these spring-flowering bulbs will be ready in time for your Easter table. The lily of the valley sprig in the scallop shell is my photograph from last summer. I love the scent of these tiny flowers best of all.

The Stevenson post is missing "Comments"... nothing earth-shaking...I simply wanted to tell you that I think you have his last bit of advice down pat.
