Next to the Bermuda lily the azalea
is possibly the most popular plant at
this season. 1t bears profusion Of
bright flowers which will keep fresh
and beautiful from four to six weeks.
The principal colors are white, Grim
son and white and pink shaded. Ghent
in Belgium is the true home of this
plant. There it finds better conditions
for growth than anywhere else in the
world. Great quantities of the plant
are sent TO this country during October
and are placed under cultivation in the
greenhouses. Azaleas are sold at other
seasons of the year, however, being
being much sought after for weddings
and for decorations at other festal oc
casions. A peculiality of this plant is
that the older it grows the more lux

the largest plants are perfect marvels

One of the prettiest customs of the
year is the giving of Easter gifts. I'm
like Christmas, these presents at
Easter are never supposed to be ex-
penSive. They are rather little re-
minder of the happy Easter time, and
sign from the giver to the receiver
that one is thinking of the other
OF course there are many different
kinds of gifts, and perhaps the most
conspicuous are those prepared in the
shape of eggs. These are not the only
gifts that you can appropriately make
for this time of the year The presents
described here are easily made, with
almost no expense, and you will find
that they will be very acceptable to
those you decide to send them to, be-
cause they will be the result of your
own labor and thought, and that is the
best part of giving.

Easter time is the flower growers

some instances is directed toward pro
ducing large number of flower
which will be specially in demand Il
this season. So universal has the us,

Immediately follow that fabulous

in decorating the churches. many ar,
sent as presents to friends while til,
number of Towering plants which ar,
employed in home decorations Is some
thing beyond computation. The use OF
howers in the observance of EasteI
has been increasing rapidly during
recent years. 1t is not very long age
that florists noticed no great differ
ence in their sales during the season
but now they prepare TO" it many
weeks in advance.
In any enumeration Of flowers which
are most sought after at Easter per.
hapS the first place should be given to
the Bermuda, or Easter lily There is
something about the pure white of this
Hover and the gracefulness of the
plant upon which it grows that makes
IT extremely popular. Bermuda Is the
home of the lily and it is claimed that
nowhere else can they be grown sc
so early, rapidly and successfully. BY
pursuing certain methods in their cul
uVatlon they can be made to bloom as
early as December but the main crol
comes in February and early spring
Then whole fields of blooming lilies
may be seen, while the air is scented
by them for long distances. Those who
grow lilies in Bermuda regard them
the same as they do potatoes or onions
They are not expert florists but plant
their lilies with more care than they
do common vegetables but owing to
the peculiarities of the soil and climate
they nearly always have a good crop
They can cultivate their fields any
month of the year and there IL never
any frosts, only genial sunshine, which
is just what the lilies want. The lilies
which are sold at Easter time are, as a
luie' Slo"n lIoln DulDS Drought from
bermuda. No matter whether Easter
Is late or early the lilies are brought
into bloom for use on the Sunday
which commentaries the ascension OF
our Lord. The blooming of the flowers
is hastened or retarded by regulating
the temperature of the greenhouses
where they are under cultivation. The
Bermuda lily is a special favorite in
church decorations and they remain in
condition for some days, which adds to
their popularity. The plants grow to
n height of four feet and bear from
| four to seven snow white blossoms ~,
