IF YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING
This
time of year children wonder if the winter will ever pass. You can create
your own harbinger of spring. Just cut branches of forsythia and then set
them in a large vase filled with room-temperature water. In a few short weeks
spring will arrive when the branches green up and burst into bloom. To pull
off a similar feat of an early spring, try forcing your own shrubs and trees
into bloom between 1 and 2 months before actual flowering time. Good candidates
include pussy willow, flowering quince, and ornamental cherries and pears.
