friends. The focus of the festivities was,
however, the south wing. This has been
lately added. and with its addition the

secret mission, the nature OF which the
officers refuse to divulge. The Ranger

for a long voyage, and the fact that she
is being put in warlike trim-being fitted
with several six-inch guns-is evidence
enough that she is about TO depart for
some remote place TO guard United States

The Baby Primrose.

The primrose genus furnishes sew
era of the most charming and useful
house and garden plants in cultiva-
ton. In it's various species, which are
widely distributed throughout both
hemispheres, there is diversity of
habits and growth hardly excelled in
any other genus. While some Of the
best known species have been in cul-
tiva ton for centuries, new ones are
discovered and introduced from time
to time. The latest of them is the
primula Forbesi, or Baby Primrose.
It's blossoms are very dainty and
graceful, not quite one-half inch in
diameter, and of a pleasing rose col
or, with eye or center of pale gold vel
low. They are borne I'M tiers on erect
and delicate stems ten to twelve inch
es long, and remain in bloom for sew
eral weeks, fresh buds opening from
day to day. For cut flowers they are
particularly valuable on account of
their great staying qualities. The
plants Begin to bloom when quite
small and continue to throw up doz-
ems of flower spikes from a dense
c+ump of foliage. TIE plant requires
about the same treatment as the Chi
nese primrose and will thrive in any
cool house Or ordinary window gar
dem Those who have grown this new
plant are enthusiastic in praise of it's
good qualities, and consider it one of
the most desirable introductions for
many years.-American Agriculturist.

Concerning Bulbs.

C. y. Tyler in Alameda Argus: All
bulbs require a very rich soil. Use
only thoroughly decayed manure. I'm
der no consideration use green ma
nure where bulbs are planted. Small
bulbs, such as sparaXis, IXias, crocus
ETC., should be planted two inches
deep; tulips, jonquils, narcssus, ETC.,
three inches; hyacinths, four inches,
and always measure the depth from
the top Of the bulb. You can plant
from October to January. No bulb
requires so rich a soil as the hya-
cinth. IF planted in poor soil, the
flowers may do very we'll for the first
year, and if planted more shallow
than four inches the heat of the sun
into innumerably small bulbs that
will not bloom we'll for two Or three
years; and remember YAat all bulbs
and plants have a tendency to lift
while growing. Freezing and thawing
has the same effect, so it is better to
plant little too deep than too shall
low. Hyacinths should be set eight
inches apart. Tulips six and smaller
bulbs closer.
Now in regard to pot culture: 1t is
very important that the bulb should
form strong root growth before leaf
growth starts Bulbs, when lowered
in pots in the house, should be kept
in as cool a room as possible A few
degrees above freezing will ansW err.
Pot the bulbs in pots of sufficient
size in a sandy soil mixed with rot
ted cow manure and leaf mold, qua
give thorough drainage. After pot
ting give thorough soaking and then
put away in dark, cool place for SIX
weeks and water them every two
weeks
This is to encourage root growth.
But do not let them get dry aftes
starting roots or the roots will dry
up and then the bulbs will not form

Easter Bulbs.

1T is especially pleasant to have a
window of blooming young spring
bulbs on Easter. No other spring
flower seems to represent the spirit
of Easter, the Goddess of Spring, as
do the beautiful tulips, snowdrops,
narcissi and al the array of early
bulbs. 1t is easy to force these for
winter blooming. In order to have
them ready to bloom by Easter this
season they should be started as soon
after the new year as possible, for the
majority of the bulbs must be allowed
from six to eight weeks to root before
they are expected to bloom.
Almost anyone who has had any ex-
perience in the culture of bulbs knows
that in order to obtain the best re-
suits the bulb must be well rooted be-
fore it is exposed to the light or heat
Almost any bulb can be made to
bloom luXuriantly if this precaution
is observed. Plant the bulbs in pots
in a mixture of sandy garden soil,
with a little leaf mould and wel1-rot-
ted manure and about one-third of
fine sand. Plant all the bulbs under
the soil, cover them with old leaves
or any covering equally good, and put
them in the cellar where the tempera-
ture is not above 40 or so degrees.
Keep the pots in the dark. When they
are we'll filled with roots, which will
not be in less than six weeks, bring
them upstairs, where they may be
gradually introduced to light and
heat, If this is too suddenly done the

a flower. Tn six weeks time leaf
growth will have started, but do not
move them directly into the sun for
a week or two. You can put them out
doors on the porch where they will
get little morning sun, and gradually
give them more sun until they can
stand the bright sun.
To grow hyacinths and other bulbs
i'm glasses, select only dark-colored
glasses, blue or red, for instance, and
those of long, narrow or Belgian
pattern, in preference to the more
elaborate syle.
The hyacinth makes long, white
roots, and to make them quickly and
before it starts into leaf grow tn, the
bulb, after being put in the glasses,
should be put away in the dark for six
weeks, the same as in potting. AL
ways use rain water. Fill the glasses
so that the water will barely touch
the bottom off the bulb. The water
should be changed as often as once
in three weeks, using pure rain water
at the same temperature as you took
them out of. A piece of charcoal in
the water will cause it to keep sweet
longer and few drops of ammonia
dissolved in the water will give the
flowers a much brighter color. To
grow hyacinths, etc, in sand take a
soup plate, glass dish, china bowl, or
in fact anything which will hold wa
ter and fill it heaping full of sand.
Now push the bulb carefully into the
center, allowing the whole bulb to be
covered, except the crown, and set the
vessel containing the bulb in water for
a few minutes to fix them in their
places. Then treat the same as in
potting and in glasses.
When hyacinths, narcissus, china
lilies, etc, have finished blooming in
glasses or sand they should be plant
ed in a sandy foam or leaf mould, and
watered as long as the leaves remain
green. When the leaves turn yellow
take up the bulbs and put them where
they can get good deal of sun, and
after they have ripened pack them in
boxes of dry soil and put them away
until the following season.
