If the high labor associated with
most traditional funicate bulbs
such as tulips and daffodils
doesn’t appeal to you, why not
look at a group of smail bulbs and
corms that can be naturalized?

These small, hardy bulbs need
only minimum care for five or six
years before they may have to be
split up and replanted in new soil.

Try some eranthis (winter

With low light conditions in the
spring and small flowers, keep the
plants close to the house or
walkways in order to be able to
appreciate their beauty,

Any of them can be tucked in
along walkways, at the base of
garden rocks, at the edge of
flowering shrubs or under tradi-
tional rockery plants where they
will emerge up through the
greenery for an early show of col-

A small investment ina few
named varieties of hardy bulbs
will provide a touch of color in
your garden from the Jast snow
until the annuals start to bloom.

And don’t forget to keep out
that one special toy to keep your
child amused while you're travel-
ling to your new home.

Every household in Canada,
regardless of size, usually has lit-
tle-used personal possessions
stored away in a basement, closet
or garage.

Now’s the time to go through
those containers and sort out the
items that aren’t really ever going
to be used again.

It might also be time to have
that garage sale or, if possible, to
pass them along to a charitable
organization.

Packing for storage, explains
Clay, means sorting out the items
that you know you won’t be using
in the near future or regularly,
and marking the containers so that
you can easily move them to the
appropriate place in your new
home.

{ft also pays, he adds, to mark
the contents of each storage unit
so that you don’t.end up tearing
open a dozen different boxes every
time you do have a need for that
special something.

Seff-packing can seem complex
at times, but it’s not. Ask your
moving consultant for assistance,
stich as where to find bubble-
pack, styrofoam peanuts or ap-
propriate containers. They're there
to help.
