EARLY WORK IN BULB GARDEN
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

With the first warm days the bulb
Gus plants spring up, and many a be-
ginnet has tried III vain to push them
back until warm weather
AS a rule it is best to let nature be
dictator. Hardy bulbs will endure lots
of cold; and if they do sometimes get
helplessly nipped of flower buds by
undue haste. there is more frequently
damage done to the roots by trying
to curb the growth.
Do not be in a hurry to remove the
leaves which should have been their
winter coyerlet. Loosen them up grad
ualiy, taking care that the plants are
not smothering. Il the weather con
tinues fine, work the loose leaves a
little more into the soil every day
thus gradually making the change.
There is less drain upon the bulbs
if the blossoms are picked as soon as
they commence to wither
Look to it that the bitches and
drains are in good order.
Some cut the tops from hyacinths as
them, and plant ANIMALS. This is a
very neat way of getting rid of the
bulbs-and most effectually, as a rule.
But If you wish hyacinths another
year, there is better way, unless you
can afford to purchase new bulbs.
Those diseolored leaves are neces-
sity to the plant while ripening the
bulbs, and If they cannot be tolerated
permissible compromise is to trans
plant the bulbs to some out-of-the-way
corner of the yard where they can
ripen in peace. They may then be
dried and packed away for autumn
planting
1t is better to replant the hardy
bulbs at least once in two or three
years, else they become too thickly
matted. Besides the soil needs a re-
newal of fertilizer; and this can never
be so well done as when the bed is
empty.
There is often complaint that the
oldfashioned white narcissus poeti.
Gus blasts in the bud. This is usually
remedied by resetting the bulbs which
have become matted together.
If you have number of varieties
of tulips and more time and patience
than money to buy new varieties,
there is often much pleasure in grow
ing tulips from seed. Some of the
soft shades of old-rose have been
in our own garden evolved from the
cross-fertilization of standard forms.
There is a pleasure, too, in watching
the unfolding OF the unknown New
varieties purchased of seedsmen are
always announced and their beauties
described, but these seedlings are
positively new, and some of them are
strikingly beautiful.
If in planting your tulips, carmine
and scarlet are in painful contrast
mark the one for removal at the prop.
er season. Some flowers show only
harmony in varietal colors, but the

PLANT CATALPA TREES

An acre OF ground will produce
three to four thousand fence posts
and such posts are now worth about
twenty-five cents each. Fifteen years
later they will probably bring twice
as much. as timber is becoming scare
or every year
Catalpa trees grow into telephone
poles and fence posts in about fifteen
years
One-year-old trees are the best to
plant Be sure they are all healthy
ana come not too far from home. You
will have to pay about twelve dollars
per 1000 for good trees.
The ground should be plowed and
put in good condition. as for corn.
The rows ought TO be about eight feet
apart and perfectly straight Use a
corn marker TO get them just right.
After they get good start cut them

afraid to cut, as they will be all the
stronger for the pruning. On good

of frost, outdoors about three feet
apart each way, not in too rich
ground; then when they commence to

is good, and tie them up with either
cotton cloth or raffia
1t is best to raise them with a single
stem; take half the branches off. so
the air and light will circulate well
around the plants, as they take time
to make large plants.
Place some sticks over them and
attack piece of canvas sheet or
blanket to protect them from the first
frost. The plants thus protected last
four weeks longer, and it pays for the
labor. because you get the finest flow
ers and lots of them. The tuber gets
ripe better. too

cut out the tops; do not dip them too
early; wait until the hard frost comes.
They can stand until November 10.
They also get more nourishment from
the ground. When you dig them be
careful not to bruise them Let them
stay in the sun to dry, then put them
in their winter quarters; a cellar that
is frost-proof is a good place. Cover
them with sand, but if your cellar has
concrete floors or is too cold, they
will get mildew and die. Put some
boards on the bottom.

will flower from the middle of July
until frost; those that do not suit can
be thrown away, and the best ones
can be kept over for another season.
If the season is dry one some of
the plants in the garden will have to
be watered If you want flowers from
them. This is especially true of the
dahlia.
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil in which their roots grow, and
see that it is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting for
a week to come isn't the proper thing

benefit the plants.
BE sure to supply substantial sup
port for your dahlias. If this is not
done you will be likely to find them
broken some morning after sudden
wind or a hard rain-storm.
The stakes should be at least four
feet tall-allow an extra foot and a
half for insertion in the ground-and
they should be at least an inch through
and of good sound wood.
Paint them a dull green and they

Tie the stalks to them with broad
strips of cloth instead OF strings The

Mrs. j. S. Pugh, $40 Market ST.,

common with many other Missouri
mothers, that 1t is no longer necessary
to dose children with internal medi-

Vicks Vap-O-Rub is the standard
remedy for these troubles, but it was
only last winter that it was introduced
here. q Vap-O-Rub was discovered by
a North Carolina druggist. He found
how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca-
lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salve
form, so that when applied to the
body, the ingredients are yaporized
by the body heat.
These vapors are inhaled with each

the lungs, carrying the medication d.
