Caring for Spring Bulbs.

When tulips, hyacinths and other spring
bulbs are through blooming. and the last
blossoms have faded, pick off the seed pods
and If possible leave the bulbs in the beds
until the tops begin to turn yellow. This
gives the bulbs a chance to ripen before
digging them up.
If 1t is wished to plant the bed with
SONS fade. pick off the seed pods be-
using a spade. thrusting 1t deep into the
This should be done carefully. because
the stems OF tulips especially are brittle and
break easily just above the bulb. When all
the bulbs have been dug. take them to a
convenient place in the back yard and heel
them In. leaving them until the tops are
dry. BY heelins in is meant to dig a
trench about six inches deep and as long as
necessary, lay the bulbs in II. tops up. In
single row, and cover only the roots and bulbs
with moist EARTH In about two three
weeks, or when the tops are dry. dig UP the
bulbs and clean them. Re move all the old
roots. tops and bulb scales and place the
clean bulbs in shallow boxes. leaving them
to dry thoroughly in the sun before storing
them away. When dry. put them away in
cool dry place, where they will not be
reached by the sun.
Although these suggestions apply princi-
pally to tulips, because they are the most
widely used of spring bulbs. the same treat
nlent should be given hyacinths and mar
cissi. Where the bulbs are left in the ground
permanently do not pull the tops until they
begin to turn yellow.

Price of Graves Raised.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 2S.-Folowing the
recent investigation of the high cost Of liv-
ing expenses in this city by special COM
mittee of the legislature. which found
Pittsburg to be the most expensive city in
the country in which to live, an announce
ment yesterday by the cemetery associa-
ton imposes even further burdens in the
increase of the price of graves. Undertake
ers in the city have received notice from
cemetery officials that beginning June l
the prices of single graves would be ad-
vanced 81 over the present rate. The bur-
den will fall heaviest on the poor who are
accustomed to buy single graves, and will
not affect the lotholders in the cemeteries.
The reason assigned for the advance is the
rapidity with which the local "cities of the
dead are filling up and the rapid rise in
the valuation Of land.
