Putting Out Plants.

With the coming Of warm spring days
many seem to have a perfect mania to
get outdoors and make a hower-bed
somewhere at the first opportunity. Get
outdoors that's all right-but don't
make tiower-bed until the weather Is
more settled than it sometimes is during
the first of May.
There are a few hardy ANIMALS that
can only be successfully grown by early
planting; sweet peas especially can
sometimes be put in the last of March,
but the majority Of flower seeds will not
grow their best until the ground becomes
warmed thoroughly. When seeds take
so long to sprout they seem to lose their
vitality. The best way is to start seeds
In q hot-bed, and remove plants to the
border when danger of frost is over.
Then you can arrange the plants just as
desired, and have no empty spaces where
seeds have failed to come up.
For several years Ihave made a practice
of putting plants out just about Dec
Grafton day, with good success Where
l have ''got smart" and rushed them out
the first of May, there has been some
frozen noses among the posies, or else
there was an awful lot of work covering
and uncovering the plants to keep Jack
Frost at bay. Plants may be set on a
veranda before this, and become Rccus-
toned to outdoor air, with good results,
They are easily brought indoors If too
cold.
Geraniums seem to be about as hardy
as any of the popular bedding plants.
They will stand quite frost without
injury, and yet they cannot put forth
much growth when the mercury is play
ing "snap and catoh'sm" about the
freezing point. Some Of the summer
Towering bulbs that receive check
from frost do not seem to regain their
former vitality for long time. Start
seeds and bulbs in a hot bed, or in sand
in the house, if you possibly can,
moderately early, but do not bury them
up in flower-beds with the first breath
of spring, unless you wish to bury them
for all time.-GypSy, in Farm Field and

The Love Of Literature.

IfS childis brought up amidst intel
lOctual people, hears books spoken Of as
beloved friends, and literary topics con-
Stantly discussed, he insensibly acquires
q love of literature and taste for in
tellectual pleasures which give him
delight in them. This love may behsred-
itary and he may turn to books as
naturally as a young duck takes to the
water. In this case he will seek them
in spite of the most prossic and material
environment, and assimilate their
contents as the only means of satisfying
the craving he feels within him.

A Good Way to Keep Flowers.

Very few people are aware that flowers
can be kept very much longer by setting
the stems into dish Of sand Put the
flowers into vase, as usual, then care
fully sift in sufficient sand to fill the vase
nearly to the top; then add water until
it stands very little above the top of
the stand. This is useful in more ways
