LATE PLANTED LILIES.


December Plotting Has Given Fine
Blooms of LOngiforum For Easter.
Lily growers of large experience
have come to the conclusion generally
that longihorum bulbs received from
abroad and planted late-that is, up to
the middle of November-at least give
just as good results as do those planted
in September or early in October. Even
as late as the first part of December
has proved practicable time for plant
ing for Easter crop, but this is not adj
vised. One of the largest growers of
lilies for the New York market states
that during the last few years he has
found that the second shipment of
Japan bulbs came into bloom at the
same time and just as full as those
of the first shipment.
William H. Siebrecht says: Lilies
need a certain amount of rest, as do
other bulbs, and if not given sufficient
resting time before being put into fore
ing temperature they will make weak
stem and will take actually longer to
come into flower than When planted
later and given a more natural start.
From a certain lot of bulbs potted in
September part were taken into the
house in November and part in Deem
Der. The latter came into bloom earlier
and better than the first. Also, bulbs
potted in the end of December and
put into the greenhouse Immediately
bloomed for Easter and with a less
number of weak flowers than came on
the above mentioned November lot.
The bulbs were all of the same size. 1t
does not always follow that the man
who plants first will get the first flow
ers, although there are growers who
seem to think o.'-Gardening.

The season for this work may begin
in Mississippi with the first good fall

sometimes made during midsummer by
taking advantage Of spells of rainy

secure good stands from midsummer

CELERY STORAGE.

How Growers, Large and Small, Han
die the Last of the Seasons Crop.
Large growers handle the last of the
celery crop by the method known as
renching. The celery is partially bank
ed with earth and allowed to remain
where grown so long as there is no
danger from heavy frosts. The work
of trenching will be greatly facilitated
by setting up two parallel lines of
twelve inch boards about eighteen or
twenty inches apart, between which
the celery is packed with the roots
Embedded in the soil. When the space
between the boards is filled, the soil
is thrown up on the outside to the tops
of the boards.
Another method of trenching is to
excavate pit (see first cut to depth

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

A Contemporary Account of the PiO-
neer Feast In 1921.
The first Thanksgiving day was cele-
brated in the autumn of 1921.
An account of the pioneer of all these
feasts has been presented in a letter by
Edward Winslow written in the same
year:
"You shall understand that in this
little time that few of us have been
here we have built seven dwelling
houses and four for the use of the plan
tation and have made preparations for
eleven others. We set the last spring
some twenty acres of corn and sowed
some six acies of barley and peas
Our corn did prove well, God be
praised, and our barley Indifferent
good, but our peas not worth harvest
ing. Our harvest being got in, our
governor sent four men out fowling, SO
that we might after special manner
rejoice together after we had gathered
the fruit of our labors. They four in
one day killed as much fowl as, with
a little help beside, served the whole
company almost week, at which time
among other recreations we exercised
our arms, many Of the Indians arriv-
ing among us, and among the rest their
greatest king, Massasoit, with ninety
men, whom for three days we enter
tanned and Toasted. And, although it
be not always so plentiful as it was at
this time with us, yet, by the goodness
of God, we are SO far from want that
we often wish you partakers of our
plenty"
Thus Thanksgiving was born.
1t continued to be celebrated, though
not with any regularity, for about six
ty years, after which it was annually
ordered by the general court, not al
ways in November, but generally after
the harvests were gathered.

The fruit is of the very best quality

rior to our pack Of last year. There
will also be very considerable In,
crease in the tonnage over last season
provided that we do not have rains, In
which event the crop would be some
what curtailed Orders for the goods
are already coming In from Chicago,
New York. Des Moines, st. Louis and
many other eastern points. The indi-
cations are that we will not have
enough figs to fill our orders. There is
no doubt that this industry has q
great future not only in this state, but
In the warmer parts of Arizona, New
Mexico. old Mexico and Texas. | be-
lieve the figs can also be successfully
grown In the Hawaiian Islands and
Australia. There has been more or
less apprehension that we would not
be able to retain the insect, but the
experiences of the last two years in
this state, the winters having been the
coolest for over fifteen years and the
insects having survived through them
without receiving any injury. is, l
think. proof enough that the insect
question In connection with this sub
ject Is settled once and for all.
