Dancing Moth Balls
Fill a rose bowl, or any kind of clear bowl with a curved
surface, with water. Add one teaspoon baking soda, one
teaspoon citric acid crystals, and three to five mothballs
for each cup of water.
The chemical reaction will keep the moth balls mov
ing from the surface of the water to the bottom of the
bowl and back for about 2 hours.
If you place the bowl on a mirror, you will get twice the
effect, the water can be colored with food coloring or a
flower floated on top. Some people anchor the flower to
the bottom with a tiny, needle-type flower holder, a bit of
adhesive tape or modeling clay.
When the balls stop moving', add another spoonful of
citric acid crystals and baking soda to start them moving
again.

Forcing Bulbs
For Holiday
NEWARK, DE—The pleasure
of gardening doesn’t have to end
with the first frost. Why not
extend harvest time into the winter
holiday season by forcing pots of
spring-flowering bulbs for gifts?
“When you have the time, forc
ing bulbs is fun and easy,” says
Susan Barton, University of Dela
ware Cooperative Extension horti
culture specialist. “Most summer
bulbs can be forced to bloom
indoors over the winter, but many
require a chilling period of 8 to 12
weeks.”
If you want plants for the holi
days, the specialist advises,
choose a bulb such as paperwhite
narcissus, “Soleil d’Or” narcissus
or amaryllis since they do not
require chilling.
Plant bulbs in shallow contain
ers of, potting mix, perlite or
crushed stones. Place the bulbs top
side up at the surface of the pot
ting media. Make sure the plant is
well-watered. Store in a cool, dark
location until new growth is about
4 inches tall. Then expose to light
gradually. Directions for care and
a simple bow complete the gift
