Moo Take Care
of Your Tulips

The tulip is ever attractive from
its brilliancy of color and delicate
markings and its cultivation is by ne
mems difficult. The ground should
be light loose sandy loan, well
drained. In preparing a bed for tulips
1t is well to dig the ground quite deep
and place some well rotted manure
in the bottom of the excavation, GOV.
cred so the bulbs will not come in
contact with the manure.
The bulbs should be secured and
planted in October about four inches
deep and eight inches apart. Holes
for planting the bulbs may be made
with dibber or pointed stick and
when the bulb is planted it should be
covered with handful of sand after
which the bed may be raked over
and the bulbs thus uniformly COW
cred. 1t is well to give a light mulch
soon after planting which may be
partially removed in the spring.
There are many varieties to be Sc.
lected from covering wide range OF
color and an extended season of
bloom. There are single and double
sorts. The singles are usually lae
most pleasing but do not remain In
bloom as long as the double. There
are early and late. kinds which viii
give a succession OF bloom. A race
known as the Darwin (bloom) tulips

their value. The parrot tulips with

their fantastic forms give pleasing re-
suits. Seedsmen and nurserymen' s
catalogues are as a rule sufficiently
explicit for anyone TO make satisfac-
tory selections.
Other Bulbs.
Hyacinths and the Chinese sacred
lily are easily forced in water or by
glass culture as the process is called.
Glassc made especially for hyacinths,
each holding single bulb, MAY be
easily obtained from florists ~ seed
men. There are various designs and
sizes, some having two or more com
partments for as many bulbs. The
glass is sometimes colored to exclude
the light from the roots. About Nov,
l. bulb is placed in the top of the
vase, and the glass filled with water
even with the base Of the bulb. 1t
is SCI away in cool dark place until
roots are three or four inches long
when it is gradually brought to the
light. The water may be changed
occasionally to keep pure or little
charcoal added. The largest and firm
est bulbs should always be selected,
and the single varieties seem to do
better than the double ones. The
Chinese sacred lily is more easily
handled by using glass dish about
three inches deep and any convenient
size in diameter. the larger, the more
plants they will hold. 1t is well TO
place little gravel in the bottom on
which the bulbs are placed and the
space around them filed with fine
pebbles. The dish can be placed in
the full sunlight and viii bloom per
fectly. These plants are very fra
grant as well as beautiful.

LEARNING IN TIE t1aREM.

Turkish women are frequently well
educated. Their lives of seclusion en-
courage study and they pass the long
winter evenings In devouring any
literature that comes their way.
Many are excellent linguists, and
Pierre Lott tells that they are well
acquainted with the works of mod
ern thinkers. They are often well
versed In ancient classics and they
eagerly read modern novels, especi-
ally of the morbid, erotic type.
These giye.them glimpse of the out

Of their christian and Jewish sisters.
Many receive instructions from the
teachers at the girls college found
