Towering Bulbs.
Hover.

Summer bulbs are most satisfac-
tory when grown by themselves.
They do not appear to advantage
when grown among radishes, cauli-
flowers, potatoes and morning glory
vines.
For bordering the bed the Sum-
mer Oxalis is indispensable. OF this
there are several sorts, varying in TO-
liage and tIhe color of the flower. Di-
eppi, with odd, prettily marked foil
age, resembling four-leaved clover,
has a -stemmed, salmon-pink
blossom. Lasandria has a peculiar
umbrella-like and magenta bios
som which has the curious habit of
appearing before the leaf. The three
leaved sort has dainty white blossoms
but the foliage does not make as eff
fective border as the four-leaved
variety. Dieppi lis also useful for
hanging baskets, veranda boxes and
ornamental vases.
The Tuberous-rooted Begonias,
wonderful product of the hybridizer's
art, are new to the amateur but are
full of delightful possibilities. The
colors are softly brilliant, the petals
are heavy and rich in substance, the
blossoms are single, semi-double, dOu-
BILE as a rose, and almost as large.
The poppy is not more brightly scar
let than the red; the rose is not more
softly tinted than the pink; while the
yellow is that clear but tender shade
peculiar to the Evening Primrose.
The Tuberous Begonia and the gor-
geous GloXinia require much the
same treat ent, and will never be-
come common. Gloxinias and Achi-
menes are valuable for the decoration
of the conservatory or bow window
during the summer, but the Begonias,
while often used for the same pup
pose, are also popular as bedding
plants for some we'll drained but par
TALLY shaded spot.
The California, Hyacinthus Candi
cans, or Summer Hyacinth as it is
sometimes called, is a stately plant
and may be grown in rows, in mass
es or as single specimens. 1t grows
from three to four feet high, the
large, creamy, bell-shaped blossoms
hang gracefully from the sides of the
tall flower stalk and are delicately

The Coleus.

with it's brilliant yet delicate color
ing, it's smooth, glossy foliage and
compact habit? Our grandmothers
loved and cultivated it with as much
pride as we do, and yet, in their time
there were not nearly as many varie-
ties ais now, and even now they are
not all catallogued, probably because
there are too many.
The Coleus is one of the plants that
will stand any amount of abuse, such
as lack of water, no sunshine, ETC.,
and keep right on growing and ''smil-
ing'' the same as ever. Its culture is
exceedingly simple, so few hints
will put the amateur ION the right
track"
In the first place let me say that no
variety of plants will propagate in
water any quicker than the Coleus,
it's allotted time being about one
week; so start your ips in the latter
part of April and set out in the open
ground after all danger of frost lis
past.
Let me suggest that you put all
your young plants in one bed, all by
themselves. You have no idea how
much more they will 'show off, A
pretty effect may be had by plantin g
the slips as mentioned above, and
bordering the bed with Madame Sal
leroi Geranium, a plant which prop
agates easily and has as good a tenn
per as the Coleus.
When setting out be careful in ar
ranging the plants so that their coil
ors will not ''kill' each other. Do
not put bright yellow and a gaudy
red one side by side. The effect would
nearly put ones teeth on edge. A
good idea is to assert your plants as
to color and plant the darkest one
first and so on until the hghtest va
riety is planted last. In this way
each plant will lend beauty and more
delicate coloring to it's neighbor, and
gaudy effect produced.
| have read several different opin-
ions as to the soil which the Coleus
requires. Some writer's declare that
the plant must be put in poor soil Or
else it will not amount to anything;
and that it will wilt and the foliage
drop off if ported in rich soil; while
others say that Coleus must be
planted in very rich soil Or it will
prove a failure.
| have tried both ways, and [ really
cannot see very much difference in
the plants. A Coleus grown in poor
soil is apt to be brittle and easy to
break up, while one in rich soil is in
clined to stand still while before
growing and most generally the
plants are spindling; so the symp-
toms are the same in both cases.
Now the best way is to be safe, that
is have your soil midding-p poor and
middling- rich. / mix one part each
of manure (old), leaf mold and sand
into two (generous) parts of common
garden soil In this compost my
plants thrive and grow wonderfully.
never saw finer Coleus (and [ do not
say it to bragg than mine.

Rowland Mills Pulp Company.
]. R. LIBBY.

The case of the Rowland Falls Pulp
Co. in insolvency came up for hearing
before Judge Peabody Monday on a
peculiar point of law. Included in the
oompany's actions was a vote of the
directors whereby the sum of 81, 500 was
voted toward bridge over the Penobscnt
river between the town of H owland and
Enfield and also an approach on the
Rowland side. Of this amount s11O0
worth of lumber WAS put into the .bridRe
before the. company failed. The remain
der, $1,000, is included in the sohdule of
liabilities.
The contention on the other side ia that
the liability was not legally incurred,
first. because it was voted by the direc-
tors not by The full vote of stockholders
as required by the oompany's bylaws
The second contention is tnat the com.
pany has no right to ap. rop late money
to build bridges under its act of moor
poration, its object being to manufacture
wood pulp simply.
