BULBS FOR NEXT SPRING

1t you would have rich beds of tulip
or give the beds or the corners of your
lawns beautiful springlike yellow or
white glow of narcissus, daffodil and
jonquil, you must begin to think of
the early spring appearance of your
garden in the fall, for the bulbs of
these two flowers must be planted in
the fall before the ground is frozen.
In fact, this work should be under
taken as soon as or before an early
frost has begun to make the annual
flowers in the beds look weakened. In
dealing with narcissus, which is the
family to which the daffodil and jon
gull belong, it might be well to think
of trying to naturalize the narcissus
to grow and blossom on the lawn much
as do the wild flowers. How to plant
and handle the bulbs, as well as the
best method of getting them to be
come spring residents of grassy cor
ners, are described in the following
directions issued by the bulb special
lists of the United States department
Of Agriculture:
These bulbs should be planted in
light, rich soil that has been dug to
a depth of at least 10 inches. The
tulip bulbs should be set 5 inches
apart and inches deep and the mar
cissus bulbs about 10 inches apart and
inches deep.
If they are to be grown in pots or
window boxes, light, rich soil should
be used. Place one or two inches Of
cinders or broken pots in the bottom
of the pots or boxes to insure good
drainage. After planting, place the
pots or boxes out of doors and cover
them with about four inches of ashes
or sand; or they may be placed in
dark, cool room or cellar for few
weeks until the bulbs have formed
quantity of roots They may then be
brought into the light and heat for
Towering. Keep the soil well
moistened from time of planting, but
avoid overmoistening, for If kept too
wet the bulbs will decay.
Cultivation.
II planted in beds, the surface of the
soil should be loosened after each rain
and the bed kept free from weeds
In the late fall or early winter months
1t is well to cover the beds with
light mulch of straw or leaves to pre-
vent injury to the young roots from
the alternate freezing and thawing o,
the soil. This mulch should be grad
ually removed in spring, as soon as
growth appears above ground The
bulbs are quite hardy and are not in
lured by severe cold If the soil is
well drained.
Lifting and Dividing.
Tulip and narcissus plants are
perennial. and If given proper care
and grown under suitable soil and
climatic conditions will increase and
multiply from year to year The bulbs
may remain in the ground two or
three years, or until the clumps begin
to crowd. After blossoming in the
spring, from six to eight weeks
should elapse to allow the foliage tc
die partially down, when the bulbs
may be lifted with spade or fork

Shake the soil from the roots and
store the, bulbs in cool, shady place
where they will ripen and cure. When
the old leaves and roots are thor
oughly dry they may be easily rubbed
Off and the clusters Of bulbs divided.
The bulbs may then be planted in the
same manner as the original bulbs.
In this way the stock may be in
creased in few years.
Naturalizing the Narcissus.
The narcissus often becomes nat
uralized when planted in the sod or
partial shade, where 1T will continue
to grow, blossom, and multiply for
many years without further attention.
Simply make a small hole in the soil
five or six inches deep, insert the bulb
pointed-end up, press the soil over the
top, and nature will do the rest For
naturalizing, avoid planting in rows or
rigid geometrical figures. A good
plan is to scatter the bulbs like seed
and plant where they fall. This
method of planting is extensively fol-
lowed in the home grounds and parks
of England and other countries in
Europe. In portions or North Caro-
lima, on large estates along the James
river in Virginia, and in old gardens
in New Englands, narcissuses that
were planted over half century ago
are still growing vigorously and every
spring produce beautiful displays Of
blossoms.

Daily Housework Outline.

An outline of a system of house
work was the request made not long
ago by bride-to.be, who wished some
directions published for her guidance
in housekeeping. The variation in
the needs of different households
makes a universal rule impracticable,
as was suggested to the inquirer at
the time; but she may find some help
in daily outline given by Miss Par
loa, a noted authority on household
matters. Miss Parloa says: Make
the fires, air the dining room and hall.
Prepare the breakfast and set the
table. Air the bedrooms while the
family is at breakfast. Remove the
breakfast dishes; put away the food
Sort the dishes and put to soak all
dishes and utensils that have had
food in them which is liable to stick
Put dining room and sitting room in
order, airing them well. Wash dishes,
put kitchen and pantries in order.
Prepare dishes that require slow
cooking and put them to cook. Make

room in order. Trim lamps. Dust
halls and stairs; sweep piazzas."

DEFENSE OF THE FAIRY TALE
Writer Points Out Its Importance in
the Scheme of Education Of
the Child.

Ignorance of fairyland is the pun
ishment of intellectual vanity-the
vanity of the average pedagogue, who
has forgotten that education means
leading forth and not stuffing in.
1t is the vanity of the psychologist
who, forgetting that the germ-plasm
is a faculty of influence and enter
prise, not an arrangement of mole
cules, thinks to create it in test
tube.
1t is the vanity Of the eugenist who
believes he will improve upon those
ancient ways of life which, for a few
ages before Mendel and Weissmann,
managed, all untutored. to evolve a
reverent man, something more mar
velous than these modern academic
things who seem so ignorant of their
native virtues.
To the fairy tale we must often
look, If we are to mend our ways with
the child and lead him forth to find
that mighty world, that true self,
which is the idea of him laid up in
the heart of God.-New York Tele-
