POINTERS ON FLOWERS,

Loosen The leaves and other white,
covering from about the hardy bulbs.
The beds for the summer plants may
o be thoroughly spaded and fertil-
lied, although the plants must not be
set out for some time to come-no mat
ter how tempting and balmy are the
April days.
Don't be discouraged If the garden is
small; fertilize heavily now, and plant
closely a little later. and with careful
planning a surprising quantity of flow
ers may be raised in even the tiniest
yard.
The crocuses are now in fun bloom,
and many of the outdoor hyacinths
budded. But don't neglect them be-
cause them seem so perfectly hardy.
Keep evergreen boughs and straw con-
yenient for a light covering on cold
nights.
Now Is the time for planting and
transplant!ng hardy shrubbery. Pack
the earth firmly about the roots and al
low each bush plenty of room to grow.
See that all @ varieties are carefully
labeled for future reference.
Remember that it is not too early to
plant the sweet peas outside the very
first day of April and they should surely
be planted before the middle of this
month If they are TO make good growth
and withstand the summer heat. Don't
be in a hurry about planting other
flower seed outside for some time TO
come.
The peonies are now sending up thick
red salks and sprigs Of green iris are
forming thrifty clumps in the borders.
Loosen the soil about the clumps, then
spread dry leaves or straw over the
loosened earth. This loosening of the
soil is very important, as the winter
