A Rare and Beautiful Plant-Iman-
tophvl1um

[ once had cook who, whenever I
ventured to give her an order, gave
me some of her experience" as she
termed it; but [ soon found out that
she was a most excellent cook, and
simply told her what wanted.
Whenever [ start to write for the
Florist, it always occurs to me to first
give my experience, and the readers
of this delightful journal will have
to find out for themselves whether /
really know what [ am talking about.
Now, as to this interesting plant
with so long name. [ have been at
some pains to give what information
[ could about it, as it was a plant
which came into my possession
through a very kind friend, and was
altogether new to me. 1t was before
given to her by cousin living north,
he would say, eff you would give that
plant to Mrs. Park it would bloom"
For she had had it for years and never
could coax it to flower.
This friend finally went away for a
long stay, and sent me this plant as y
parting gift. The very first season
thereafter it bloomed. There were
two flower stalks with 35 lilies to each
stalk. was so charmed with the COR
geous richness of the blooms and foil
age, I tried to obtain a cut of it, both
for my friend and the Florist and Gar
dener, but at the time it was in per-
lection our only photographer was
out of town, and lost the opportu-
nifty.
sent blooms of it to my friend and
the cousin who gave it to her, and to
Messrs. Peter Henderson e Co., New

A Chapter on Bulbs.

AOA oIC Iu1I OuIU IIolIOlIS' DOIoIO CA'
ground has been robbed of all its
summer beauties we should set ou
the hardy bulbs which nestle under
the ground and thrive all the better
for good, snowy covering. The beds
should be deeply spaded, and some
well-rOtted manure, street sweepings
or leaf mold worked into them. After
mixing well the soil should be allow
ed to stand until settled by a goo6
rain. Then any time before freezing
weather, the bulbs should be planted
fully six inches deep. Not with siz
inches of loose dirt, but. with SIX
inches of actual soil, that will settle
down into a good protection, requir.
ing only light covering of leaves OF
straw for the severest winter weather
The Hyacinths are sure to receive
the first consideration in planning for
the bulb planting. In their selection
it is great mistake to choose the
largest bulbs; it is far better to take
the second sized, but of first quality
as regards health and soundness not
simply because they are cheaper, but
because they are better,-better be-
cause they will last longer. When
the bulbs have reached perfection,
which all large bulbs have, they break
up into small bulbs after Towering,
something which the small bulbs will
not do for many years.
There are three other classes OF
bulbs on which we most depend for
garden decoration; these are the Tu-
lip, the Narcissus and the Crocus; and
for more varied collections we have
the Snowdrop, Scilla, Crown Imperial,
etc. What is true of the Hyacinth is
equally true of these other bulbs in
regard to the age of standard varie-
ties. Mixed Tulips of various classes
are now very cheap, and are effective
for garden decorating, Or for the win
dow garden. When large varieties are
wanted for massing, as for ribbon
gardening, it is better to buy named
varieties, in order to secure harmony
of color in their arrangement.
These bulbs are usually considered
hardy from the fact that they can
stand considerable freezing without
apparent injury; while such is the
case, they should all be so thoroughly
protected, especially during the first
winter, by liberal mulching of leaves
ter the ground. The best plan with
Hyacinths and Tulips is to plant in
beds to the depth of six inches, and
cover the beds with newly fallen
leaves, because this is the most nat
ural protection. There they can re-
main undisturbed for number of
years, and as soon as the flowers have
faded each spring a little well-rotted
manure may be worked in over the
ANIMALS sown for summer blooming.
Petunias, Sweet Alyssum, etc., will
soon cover up the dying forms of the
Hyacinth and Tulip and make a desir-
able mulch during the summer for the
bulbs, without which the soil will be-
come too hot and dry for their well
sbeing. This is better plan than the
usual practice of lifting and storing

A LOCAL ENGINEER

for Ten Years.
Before the brotherhood of Locomo.

in some states required to pass exam
nations as TO fitness for important
positions an engineer aud fireman and
man of all work was forced to bank
his fire and stop his engine on account
OF pounding. He tinkered at it for a
day or two but the trouble was as bad
as ever when he started her up again
lie tried again with the same result.
Finally his employer was forced to call

ORIENT TESTS.

Interesting Experiments Tried on the
WaItham Bicycle Last Night.
A novel feature of last nights enter
tainment under the auspices of st.
Luke's church choir, at the Opera
House, was the series of tests performed
on the Orient bicycle, manufactured by
the Waltham Manufacturing Company,
of Waltham, Massachusetts, and sold
exclusively by the Big Four Cycle Com
pany of this city.
The tests were performed by Mr..
w. o. Stark, traveller for this con-
cern, and Mr.. Brokaw, of this city, and
tended to show the strength of the
bicycle frame and parts.
The Orient is reputed to be one of
the best coastiug machines in the east,
and Mr.. Stark is well known coaster
in that part of the country.
Naturally, then, his entrance upon
the stage was in the coasting position
used in all his contests during the
season of 1896
After dismounting from the machine
Mr.. Stark proceeded to take the bicycle
apart. First the cranks were removed
in an incredibly short time. Then the
chain was taken off, and the front and
rear wheels followed suit After this
the saddle and handle bar were re-
moved, and then followed one of the
most interesting of tests to bicycle
riders:
Taking the bare frame of the bicycle
Mr.. Stark placed the head or forward
portion on one chair and the rear
forks on another. Then he stepped
and jumped upon the center of the
frame, which did not seem to spring or
bend particle. AS Mr. Stark weighs
between 100 and 10 pounds, the sever
ity of this test may be imagined.
These tests finished, Mr.. Stark pro-
ceeded to put the machine together
again and smilingly rode off the stage
This feature of the programme was
warmly applauded, and the fact that
the machine was ridden upon the
stage, taken apart and most severe
tests applied, and then put together
again and ridden off the stage seems
to indicate that the bicycle is not only
an extremely finely made machine, but
also an abnormally strong one.

Liveryman Frank Lasure Loses Valuable
Horse Tuesday.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Frank Lasure,
the we'll known liveryman, drove his
handsome team of bays up the pike to
take II gentleman to the residence of
Mr.. Granville Harnesses. Upon arriv-
ing there Mr.. Lasure hitched the team
to post about three feet high aud
went into the house. The horses be-
came restless and before the owner,
who apprehended trouble, could get 10
them, one of the animals had reared on
it's hind legs ard fallen on the sharp
post, which penetrated its abdomen
and was forced almost through its
body.
The horse was shot Immediately to
put it out of misery. The loss is quite
a heavy one financially, as the team
was valued at $500.
