Hyaeinth First Large Bulb
The Tulip Comes Next


appearance is the tulip. The flaming
gorgeous beauty Of this blossom is too
well known TO need description. and
yet owners of suburban places about
Baltimore do not cultivate it to the
extent that it is grown in the North.
A distinct variety and one which
stands in a class by itself. as does our
American beauty among the roses, is
the Keezerkroon tulip. 1t grows from
9 to u inches tail. with blossom
about 4 inches long Of the most vivid
scarlet. with a brilliant yellow section
in each petal. and. massed i'm bed or
border, they look like a sheSt of flame.
For a plain red the Artus is a desir-
able variety. and a beautiful golden
yellow is named Chrysolora. A pure
white tulip and one that is very early
is LImmaculee. All the tulips named
are the early varieties, but for the en-
thusiast there are the late May-hower-
ing tulip. and an odd variety called
the parrot tulip. 1t Is so called be-
cause OF the brilliant coloring of scar
let, yellow and green. curiosity inter-
mingled. and because of the feathery
edge of the petals. Tulips range from
Is cents to 50 a hundred, and should be
planted about five inches apart. with
the top of the bulb five inches from
the surface of the ground.
Following the tulips comes the mar
cissus or daffodil. In addition to the
Pold-fashioned kinds. which are we'll
known. there is the Emperor and EN-
press. which are much larger and finer
than the old varieties. The former is
H.
yellow. The next blossom IN the sue
cession is the iris. These are the
flowers which our. grandmothers called
flags" and the common kinds are sim
found IN all the country gardens. But
a Japanese variety is being introduced
now. and in rich colorings and mark
ings they rival the most expensive or
chids. They. commence blooming

VIII Fiji Important Place In New
York Tenderloin

Oh joy in the renderloln, there's to
be an all-night pawnshop in Long
Acre Square.
That day aud night Bank really
didn't make much OF a hit with the
folk who center around ~Forty-sec-
ond street and who don't eat break
fast until after dark. A bank. after
all. reyerses the netural processes OF
finance as known to those who make
the bright lights on Broadway nee
essary. In a bank # is necessary to
deposit money before you can take
it out. This is a stirring perfor-
nance. Who wants to put money
in a bank whom he has #?
The really proper trick is to have
some place TO go whore YOU can get
money when you need it.
This opportunity is to be afforded
by the all-night p~awnshop which viii
open for business iu a few days. A
location has been procured three
doors from Kid McCoy's place ON
Long Acre square, and here ali
night long the three balls of the new
hook shop will gleam in the white
lights.
Hereafter the lad who has taken the
only girl 70 the thcater can respond
to a sudden and unexpected demand
for supper. An o"ercoat or an UNI
brella will make possible a festive
time in the palm room at Mink's.
while a diamond RUG or a J~urgesson
watch will open the doors of Rec
tors or stanley To- him.
There need he no longer any fea-
son for a city Official to WEIGH on a
poker bet with the doors of the all
night %pawnshop inviting him tc
square accounts. Instead OF giving
the banker a m%onologue for the
money owed be can make "A quick run
for the home Of the uncle and there
obtain at least enough to make an
effort TO keep in the game.
BY ext Tuesday it will be possible
TO obtain money at any hour in New
York.
