The Alenhurst Club will become the
headquarters next week Of not few OF
the visitors Of the Long Branch horse
show and the entire resort is alive with
interest In this equine event. The advent
OF the automobile places the horse show
formerly too far away for people here to
keep in very close touch with proceed
ings there. have brought the grounds TIC
within three to five minutes travel. just
the right distance for refreshing sprint
from the show back TO ones hotel for
luncheon or dinner.
Probably two-thirds Of the families at
AlenhurSt this summer are owners OF
automobiles, and the use Of these ma
chimes is SO much in vogue that a con-
siderable proportion Of the summer popu-
lation becomes scattered every day over
a radius which takes in 100 miles OF the
adjacent country. All-day trips to At
lantic City are frequently made.
Society folks will gather on the club
verandaS and in the ballroom tomorrow
evening for the usual Sunday night con-
cert, an affair which has come into great
popularity this season with Allenhurst
residents.
AllenhurSt Club began TO be heard the
first Of the week. and the management
say they are going to arrange for such
an event some time within the next fort
night. An event Of this sort used to be a
feature of the season at the club until

while the audience sighed with sympa-

with electric fluid from an antiquated
plant a mile away from the scene, and
that the plant was evidently weakening
at all four corners. He promised that Il
new adjustment would be made and that
the organ would belch forth tomorrow.

RAISING A $3.50 DAFFoDH.
Takes Fifteen Years and 1000 Seed
lings to Produce Such a Bulb.

From Country Life in America.
The outsider is surprised that any one
should be willing to pay much as $50
for d single daffodil bulb. That there IS
market for such expensive flowers is
evident from the fact that in single
catalogue thirteen varieties of daffodils
are listed at prices of $40 or more for a
single bulb.
The explanation is simple These are
new varieties which are believed to lie
better than any other varieties in at
least one important respect. Sometimes
only one bulb is in existence.
Who buys such varieties" First. the
very keenest nurseymen who plan to get
the whole stock. multiply the bulbs and
sell them when they can get enough 10
offer to the public at comparatively low
price.
Second. plant breeders. especially
tours who see a chance of producing
still better daffodills by using these III
crossing.
Indeed it is a question if every new
variety that contributes real improve
ment is not worth more than $50. For
every new variety takes seven years from
seed to flower and after that the public
must wait about eight years for the
bulbs to be common enough 10 be sold
at a reasonable price. Would you De
willing TO devote fifteen years to anything
for so small sum as $50?
The actual time spent in caring for the
bulbs in any one year may Seem small
item, but the odds against your getting
any real Improvement are enormous You
are lucky if you get from 100 seedlings
one new variety worth naming. 1t takes
a long time to make enough crosses to
produce l 900 fertile seeds. 1t takes a
deal of time to record those crosses and
there's many a slip between the seed and
the flower.
While daffodil bulbs have sold as high
as 500 apiece in the last few years the
costliest bulb on the market just now is
bulb. although il does not belong to the
large trumpet section at all 1t is
spectacular flower with its orange scarlet
cup set off by white petals.
1t is not the largest of the medium
crowned section. as sir Watkin sometimes
measures five inches. and only four
inches is claimed for Bedouin. But then
these red cups are very interesting. be-
cause they suggest the possibility of an
all red daffOdil.
The possibility is so remote that no.
body likes to talk about it, but every
advance toward ii makes a new stir at
the shows. We now have plenty of low
priced daffodils with orange cups and
some with decided tinge of scarlet in
them. but these high colors fade quickly
in the sun. So sensitive is the daffodil
that the bare branches Of nearby tree
will furnish shade enough to make the
blossoms appear d week later. In fact.
nearly all daffodils last longer and have
a better color II shaded from the midday
sun.
