Lice ExterInintOr.

Years ago / discovered that aloes,
in fine powder, is a specific for the
destruction of lice OH animals, and
as it is harmless (aloes contain no
poisonous properties, its intense
bitterness is what destroys it can
be freely applied, and as it is to be
used in dry state, its application
is as safe in cold as in warm wealth
or, consequently is free from all
objections to other remedies. My
regard for the comfort of animals
and the interests of their owners,
in luces me to publish this for the
be le6t of all concerned, and as this
is the season when these parasites
ara usually most numerous and
annoying, an opportunity is af-
forled for testing its unparalleled
merits.
Directions Fill a large common
pepper box with the powder and
sprinkle into the hair on the neck,
back, sides and rump of the crea-
lures infested, and rub it thoroughly
through the hair and on the skin
with the ends of the fingers; leave
it undisturbed for a week; then
card or curry thoroughly, and APP
ply as before, and so continue at
intervals for a week, until there is

in numerous cases without a failure,
and two different applications. if

Hardy Bulbs in Bradford County.

| wonder if the readers of the May
Flower will think the summer an inar-
propriate time in which to talk of winter
flowers? For some time past | have
been intending to tell them of my beau
tiful collection of Hyacinths, and some
howhave putit off from time to time, un-
til l find the midsummer has caught me
talking OF winter bloomers. have found
such pretty way to display Il er beau
ties that [ want some others to try it
the coming winter.
! made level bed about seven feet
square and edged it with triangular white
bricks so placed that the points stood up.
/ then planted the Hyacinths about fif-
teen inches apart each way, and all
planted mixed Tulips about two inches
apart. At each of the fOurcOrners of the
bed, close together, l put q cluster Of
three double crimson Tulips. Over the
whole sowed Pansy seed, and then COW
cred the bed evenly with Spanish moss to
the depth of a foot or more. In few
weeks this had settled good deal and
looked, at distance, like gray Garrett
There were sixteen varieties of Hya-
cinths and don't know how many Tu-
lips. They all bloomed about the same
time and the bed was lovely. The soft
gray background ofmoss displayed their
beautiful colors to perfection.
Now, the bulbs have disappeared to
take their summer nap and the Pansies
are glorying in full possession. With
these the edging of white brick is quite
pretty.-Mrs. E. K. T., Bradford county,

Hardy Bulbs.
WILL THEY SUCCEED IN FLORIDA?

Has any one ever had any success with
hardy bulbs in Florida? mean in South
ern Florida. Now don't all speak at
once, but if you have, do tell us how you
did it, A friend of mine has her Gala
Lilies planted in the yard amongst her
other plants. They get the same treat
ment, only little more water, and grow
and bloom thriftyer than mine do in
pots. They die down after the rainy sea-
son is over, but commence to grow as
soon as the weather gets cool in the fall.

given the same care and culture as in the
States north of US.
In the winter OF 1886 [ had a bulb of
the tulip Gesneria, planted in a box of
rich earth which was frozen during the ex-
traordinary cold ofthat year. ItblOomed
in the spring and for long time ''its
beauty made me glad" and ever since [
have sighed for a bed of tulips Ike that
one. l have no doubt that ice water APP
piled to them in the growing season, or
ice wrapped in sawdust put on top OF the
earth that contains them would work
wonders i'll producing blooms on the, 30
often, disappointing hardy bulbs.
During the winter we often use warm
water for our tropical plants, even hot
water on our CaIlas, and the result is
very satisfying. Doubtless the one freeze
that our hardy bulbs need can readily be
supplied by artificial means as well.
There are few persons to whom ice is not
accessible in winter or summer, in South
Florida, where ice factories are found in
every considerable town; and where the
country people indulge in the luxury of
ice, at very cheap rates, at all seasons.
Moreover exposure to the occasional
frosts that visit our section would doubt
less be sufficient to make them bloom in
a satisfactory manner, if the ground had
been previously in good condition, the
bulbs set in early autumn.
Many of the Florida readers of the
Mayfower have, like myself, made exas-
perating failures with hardy bulbs, and
resolve each time 10 improve upon orr
former efforts; yet have delayed until the
proper season was past.
| intend to make deter
mined effort to successfully grow them,
and hope others who read this will also
try, giving all the culture and fertilizer
they would bestow upon the early vege-
tables so successfully grown here for the
Northern markets. | feel sure il this plan
is followed we will cease to complain of
failures in growing hardy bulbs in the or
ange belt.-Mrs. Jennie S. Perkins, Crown
Point, Florida, in the Mayflower for Oc-
tOber.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-04-23
Hardy Bulbs in the Orange Belt.


There is nothing in the whole realm of
flowers so missed by Northern settlers in
Southern Florida as the blooms of the
hardy bulbs.
They are unquestionably among the
most beautiful of all the fairy creations
which the florist offers to his admiring Gus
toners, and it is, indeed. a great depriva
ton not to be allowed to see the "Sea-
sons glorious show" that greets the
denizens of colder chimes, beginning while
the snow yet fingers on hill and vale, and
ending in the sunny summer, with it's
glowing heats and fervid skies.
That the tulip and hyacinth, natives of
Persia and the Levant, should be fail
ure in semi-tropical Florida, is matter
OF surprise to all. and suggests to the in
quirer the idea that the modes of culture
OF those who have tried to grow them
here, must be greatly at fault.
The wives and daughters of the new
conner, far from neighbors. and pining for
a sight of well remembered flowers, plant
the hardy bulbs loving friends send them
from their native States. They treat
them precisely as they do geraniums,
begonias and other green house plants,
and marvel that the blooms are very
few and poor, or perhaps never open at
all.
The husbands and fathers plant the
same vegetables that comprised their
main crop in the North, beginning in the
early autumn preparations, and omit
ting no condition OF soil or care in plant
ing to which they were accustomed. The
difference is, they plant to get the benefit
of the cooler atmosphere which waning
suns and cool moist wind of the declining
year affords.
Florists usually recommend hardy
bulbs to be allowed to freeze slightly,
once, before giving them their winter COW
ering of leaves, or whatever else is put over
the soil where they are set.
1t is the custom here to set hyacinths,
tulips, etc., in boxes or pots, and keep
them in sheltered place until their
blooming season. Whatever benefit of
cold rains or frosts we have during our
winters they are kept from sharing. They
are not planted out in an open and thor
oughIy enriched soil in the early fall, and
allowed to experience all the cold that
our winters can possibly furnish, and
