quarters, that you opposed to personal lib

your sentiments on this subject, your address in

vestige of II. But, indeed, no fairminded citi-
zen required your renewed assurance that YOU
have never opposed or attacked personal liberty.

Of the houses have gardens Some of these
gardens are large and filed with the
beautiful flowers that have brought
wealth and recognition to Holland. An
other attractive feature OF these homes
are the ycraudas- they are exceptionally
broad and often surround the house.
An addition to the verandu is the sum

Other Bulbs.
HyacinIhs and the Chinese sacred
lily are easily forced in water or by
glass culture as the process is called.
GIasse made especially for hyacinths,
each holding a single bulb, may be
easily obtained from florists or seed
men. There are various designs and
sizes, some having two or more com
partments for as many bulbs. The
glass is sometimes cOloTed to exclude
the light from the roots. About Nov,
1, bulb is placed in the top of the
vase, and the glass filed with water
even with the base Of the bulb. 1t
is SET away in a 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 a 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 a glass dish about
three inches deep and any convenient
size in diameter, the larger, the more
plants they will hold. 1t is we'll to

Moo Take Care
Of Your nlips

The tulip is ever attractive from
its briIliancy of color and delicate
markings and its cultivation is by no
means difficult. The ground should
be a light, loose sandy loan, well
drained. In preparing a bed for tulips
it is we'll to dig the ground quite deep
and place some we'll 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 a dibber or a pointed stick and
when the bulb is planted it should be
covered with a handful Of sand after
which the bed may be raked over

There are many varieties to be Sc

color and an extended season OF
bloom. There are single and double
sorts. The singles are usually the
most pleasing but do not remain in
bloom as long as the double. There
are early and late kinds which will
give a succession of bloom. A race
known as the Darwin (bloom) tulips
is becoming popular and are much
