Deep replacing the soil with mixture of
rich compost In the fall the bed should be
given a late dressing of manure and bone
meal and if possible covered with leaf mould.
The price of tulip bulbs when bought in
small quantities is from twenty-five cents
dozen up. When purchased in 100 or 1000
lots the price is much less. When one con
siders that the bulbs, if given proper care,
will increase rather than die out, it is easy
to see what permanent bed little expendi-
ture of money will produce.
TRY PLANTING THESE DAFF0DILS
The best and cheapest daffodils are the
Trumpet, Emperor and Poet. There are doz-
ems of varieties in each Of these classes. With
the Trumpets should go the Barri daffodils,
whose great cups and crowns attain a ire
mendous size, and at the outer edge of the bed
should be the miniature or the Jonquillus.

n 70, THE chayote is not an animal fresh from
N the desert and en- route to join the colony
at the ZOO; but brand new winter veg
ctabe from the sunny south. 1t belongs to the
summer squash family and grows on climbing
vines.
The chayote is shaped like a large-sized, bull
nosed green pepper; it is heavy for its size and
has the deep, thick, solid flesh common to all
the squashes, soft, white, smooth skin, and
small seeds. The latter are thin and cook
tender.
Hotel chefs of the more progressive hotels
in New York, as we'll as in the Quaker City,
are introducing to their guests this vegetable
cooked in number of different ways. Some
Of the best recipes are here giver for the
benefit Of adventurous cooks. The vegetable
is not expensive, but it can be found only at
large dealers who make a speciality of novel
vegetable and fruit food products.
DREAMED CHAYOTE
Quarter, pare and remove the seeds from
three chayotes; boil them until tender in clear
water, to which add a satspoon Of salt. When
tender drain, dice and put into a smooth cream
sauce made not too thick.
FRIED CHAYOTE
Boil the chayotes in slightly sailed water
until they are moderately soft; drain, peel and

Some people object to bulb beds because OF
the long dull summer season after the bulbs
have ceased blooming. But modern gardeners
have discovered many ways to keep the oulb
bed in continuous bloom from earliest spring
to latest fall
EXTENDING THE TULIP SEASON
TO keep the tulip bed blooming for the
longest possible time, the bulbs should be
planted at different depths
For instance, for the earliest blooms, plant
bulbs in hole four inches deep Later va
reties should be planted at least six inches
deep.
The tulip season can be extended by plant
ing selections from the three main divisions
very early, early and late Darwin Tulips are
at their best the last two weeks Of May and
make truly wonderful showing. They are
slow in developing, but are long-ved. The
cottage tulips such as Dainty Maid, lngles-
combe Yellow, Orange King and Scarlet Emper-
or. precede these naturally. Single tulips come
first of all, then the double earlies.
The Parrot tulips, most brilliant and strik-
-. n al b,lbe bloom late The Breeder tu-
lips come last of all, upon very tall, strong
stems and in wonderful colors. They should
be planted in the back Of the bulb bed be-
cause of their commanding height.
The dwarf Due Van Thol is exceedingly
beautiful and should be planted at the outer
most edge Of the bed because 1T is compar-
atively short stemmed. These bulbs are very
inexpensive and look their best when planted
in small irregular clumps.
A word as to the cultivation of tulips. They

Another suggestion of great value to gar
deners whose space is limited is to plant such
spring bulbs as crocuses, daffodils and mar
cissi in the lawn
OF course, in this event the lawn must not
be moved until after the bulbs have finished
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-03-04

April to July. Crocuses be scattered in
the grass or placed in little clumps between
the larger bulbs at the outer edge Of the bed
The sweet blue Glory-of- the-Snow and the Sell
la and the Snowdrops are all at their best IN
grass, at the foot Of trees, in the lee of the
stone wall and in the rock garden.
RULES FOR CULTIVATING BULBS
Liles-of- the-valley should be planted in
September, fully six inches deep, with layer
of sand at the bottom Of the hole. They will
grow under trees or shrubs or on the north
side of the house-a most valuable quality
when the garden-maker wishes every inch Of
his ground TO bloom.
Though it would take good sized volume
to do justice to the subject Of bulbs, the fol-
lowing general advice will be OF help to the
amateur:
Plant many bulbs of few varieties rather
than a few bulbs of many varieties. Work
for mass effects.
Study garden conditions before planting

All this seems quite simple, and,
to a certan extent, the collection OF
the information is the easiest part OF
the entire job. Il will be In the tahu
lation and classification OF the facts
CLEANED that Mr.. Kcrr's methods will
come into play. A task that would re-
Quiro the services OF large force OF
hand tabulators many weeks to per-
form, will by means OF this system
and the machines that do the work
accomplish the work in few days.
In the first place all the infO.ma
ton regarding an individual viii be
contained upon a single card This
card is very oddly but systematically
arranged upon code system in which
numbers stand for certain facts The
cards are placed separately In a small
punching machine, the operator OF
which taps Off by means OF keys the
numbers corresponding to the facts
as contained in the blank the ques-
tions upon which have been answered
by the individual. The entire job OF
punching the card occupies only a
couple OF minutes and when Il is over
the holes that have been punched tell
the complete story Of the man they
represent.
Now comes the beauty OF the sys-
TEN. Suppose, for instance, the Gov
ernor wanted TO know how many men
there we're In the State between tho
ages OF is and %. The cards, repre-
sentlng every man OF military age in
the State would be placed In another
machine, electrically driven, the

shaped disc. corresponding with the
arrangement OF figures on the punched
card. An electric needle or brush TO
be more exact. is then set to cores
pond to the age punched on the card.
