Thus the republic, while 1t recently

be most inopportune.

is his statement:
"The charge d'afraires OF Colombia

NEW YORK SCHOOL GARDENS
Even In the Heart Of the Crowded
Metropolis These Beauty Spots
Are to Be Found.

School gardens, for some years a
feature of education in smaller towns,
have at last taken root in New York.
Even in the heart of crowded Man
haitian it has been found possible to
turn a bit Of the school yard into a
garden and there to let the children
grow flowers and vegetables. In some
schools each class has its plot, in
others there was enough room to
provide a plot for each child, but
this, except In the rural outskirts. Is
rare. In one school, where it was
impossible to raise plants from the
earth, a goodly part of the cement
paved playground was given over to
boxes which afforded a home for
growing plants. There is a large So
ciety, called the School Garden as
ISOLATION, of which the president is
Van Evrie Fitzpatrick, principal of P.
S. No. 81. The photograph printed
herewith shows one of the classes of
P. s. No. 81, Manhattan, at Amster-
dam avenue and One Hundred and
Fourth street, working its little gar.

LITTLE TROUBLE WITH TULIPS
These Beautiful Flowers May Easily
Be Made as Successful Here
as In Holland.

Horticulturists visiting Holland
bring back tales Of how Dutch bulbs"
are grown for the world in the land
reclaimed from the Zuyder Zee. The
soil Is sandy, superb In drainage and
naturally poor. but proper handling has
made it a rich one. After reading of
the Holland methods, the writer has
this year produced tulips that are Sec
Ond to none, some being more than
two feet in height and very robust with
large flowers. The method of care is
herein given In the hope that some
who have given up hope may be able
to grow these beautiful flowers to q
satisfying degree of excellence. Many
other lots have been visited that are
very fine, where the care and culture
has been very similar to that followed
by the writer.
The two strong points in growing
good tulips are deep planting and
plenty of water. To provide good
drainage Ga supposed essentially the
writer dug out a bed to the depth of
is inches, mixing the soil with some
sand and one-fourth horse manure that
contained a large per cent of planning
mill shavings, used for bedding. This
was replaced and trodden down until
within six inches of the surface. Then
a mixture was made Of one-half good
garden loan, one-fourth sand, and one
fourth pulverized sheep manure. The
soil was smoothed on the bottom of
the bed, one inch of this special soil
placed evenly over the surface, the
tulip bulbs placed upon 1t and the bal
ance of the special soil placed on top.
After being wetted down 1t was about
six inches from the surface to bottom
of tulip bulbs. A little ridge of earth
was placed around the bed so that
when given a liberal watering the
water could stand two inches deep be.
fore soaking down, which latter 1t did
very rapidly. Then three inches of
fresh stable manure was placed on top
for a mulch and the bed was heavily
watered, when no rain fell, twice each
week. The tulips SO produced were
second to none in local gardens. They
were all singles, of the G~esneriana
type. Those in one bed inspected that
were especially fine were placed the
same depth as herein noted, in almost
pure adobe, covered with four inches
of manure and kept well watered.
Lack of drainage did not seem to af-
feet them adversely. To sum up, the
two chief points are deep planting
and heavy watering.
