the mistake of using fresh manure in
the soil or as a mulch. Thoroughly
we'll rotted manure may be dug into
the bed under the bulbs If 1t can be
used so as not to come in contact with
the bulbs. 1t is safer to depend on
bone meal, using two or three hand
fuls to the square yard.
Plant early tulips four to six inches
apart and four inches deep.
The tulip season of bloom can be
made to cover several weeks by using
the early Towering varieties and fol-
lowing these with the Darwin and cot
tage tulips.
In making tulip beds of combination
colors, not only the Towering season
is to be considered, but the height of
the flower stems, if symmetrical beds
are desired. Tall varieties should be
planted in the centre or back of the
beds, with the lower varieties in front.
The following groups flower to-
gether. The figures indicate the height
of the flowers in inches:

Unnamed hyacinths can be had at
a less cost, but in using them in beds
of mixed colors the dealer from whom
they are purchased should be made
to understand the Importance OF hav-

With bulbs that are planted in mixed
borders the Towering season is not of
SO much importance.

is impossible to obtain good flowers.
| 1t is a good, plan after the roots
have formed to place the plants where
| there is light overhead but dark on
| the floor. An ideal spot is next TO the
| heater in the cellar where the cellar
| window is high up in the foundation.
Here the heat starts growth and the
| flower stem shoots up toward the light.
! which will give the flowers a good
stem length.
AS soon as the stems and bulbs are
| well started the plants should be
| placed in a sunny window where the
| flowers will be induced to expand COM
pletely.
Sudden changes of temperature are
fatal. Too much heat or too much
| cold will prevent the plants from
| Towering.
While the roots are forming the
temperature does not make much diff
| ference so long as 1t is above freez-
ing and even. Probably so to So de-
grees is best. When in the window
! garden after the roots have formed,
65 degrees is good, but it should not
go above 20.
A very good mixture for bulbs can
| be made of good garden soil three
parts. sand one part and pulverized
sheep manure one part. Mix thor
oughly.
A good sieve is a convenient thing
to have. Sitting the soil takes out
the stones and roots from the soil
and sand and gives a good smooth
potting mixture. Sift the soil in a
small pile and sift the sand over it.
On this scatter the sheep manure.
With a spade or shovel turn the pile
over, moving II to one side. Repeat
the operation, putting the pile back
where 1t was at first. Several turn
ings are necessary to mix thoroughly,
and 1t is then ready for the pots or
| boxes.
Window boxes filled with hyacinths
make a good display and remain in
flower for quite a time. Hyacinths
are sure to bloom if properly treated.
Narcissi are also good, particularly
the paper white.
There are two good ways to fill win
|
drainage holes in the bottom to carry
, off the surplus water.
On the bottom of the boxes place a
layer of pieces of broken crooks or
stones. Sphagnum moss used in place
of the crooks or stones gives excel
lent results. affording drainage and at
the same time keeping the soil moist.
If moss is used cover 1t with a thin
layer Of charcoal pounded up into
small piece This keeps the soil and
moss from becoming sour.
Cover the moss and charcoal with
the previously prepared soil TO a level
an inch below where the bulbs al E to
be placed.
On the soil place an inch of sand

them with sand.
Soil may be used for covering the
bulbs and. they may be placed directly
in the soil without using sand, but the
use of sand overcomes difficulties that
sometimes are encountered with bulbs

THERE are many pleasant sur
prises and unknown beauties
in the various bulbs that can
be grown and fiowered throughout
the winter and early spring in the
suburban home and city apartment
and many pleasures derived from
their care and treatment while watch
ing them develop from the first leaf
to the flower bud.
The culture is simple, and with rea-
sonable care and watchfulness good re-
suits are generally assured.
The receptacles may be the ordinary
clay pot or bulb pan with drainage
hole in the bottom. In the bottom
place a few pieces of broken crooks,
small stones or cinders to assure good
drainage.
After the drainage material has been
placed in the pots put in the potting
soil, filling the pots up to the point
where the bulbs are to set. Then place
the bulbs and fill up the space in the
pots over them to within about three
quarters of an inch from the top.
Tulips in pots are set so the tops
are just covered with earth: hyacinths
may have the tops exposed. covering
the bulbs only sufficiently so they will
not be forced up out of place as the
strong roots try to force their way
down into the soil, and the same treat
ment applies for narciss!. Crocus
should be covered over the tops.
All these can be grown in earthen-
ware bowls without drainage by using
prepared fibre as a substitute. for
earth. The bowls may be of any size
or form so long as there is sufficient
depth for root growth. Earth should
never be used in undrained bowls.
Fibre holds the moisture better than
earth and for house culture is gen.
orally more satisfactory.
'Hyacinths and narcissi can be
grown in bowls of gravel and water.
A little charcoal should be pounded up
and added to the gravel to keep the
water pure. Add water from time to
time to keep the bowl full, as the
evaporation is considerable.
Special hyacinth glasses are made
for growing hyacinths in water The
water should not reach nearer than q
quarter of an inch from the bottom of
the bulb. Add little powdered char
coal to the water to keep it sweet.
AS soon as bulbs are planted give a
good watering to saturate the soil or
fibre and place them in a dark, cool
place for the roots to form. Watch

so are the narcissi and crocus. Last
year bulbs came in irregularly owing
to difficulty in shipping. This year
the dealers have a better stock on
hand. although the supply is not
equal to what it was before the war.
Some shipments of bulbs have. been
buried under a mass Of freight on the
docks in New York owing to the strike
of the longshoremen. There seems to
be no satisfying labor; no one now
wants to work except at drawing pay
and giving commands.
Man seems to be vainly trying to
usurp the power of God in controlling
the destiny of the world. One of our

Darwin tulips are usually planted
five inches deep and five inches apart.
Cottage or May Towering tulips
differ from the Darwins in having
pointed blooms and some with reflex
petals.
For growing Darwin or Cottage tu-
lips indoors, or any of the tulips in
fact, better results will be had when
pots are used in place OF bulb pans.
The pans are too shallow for good
results. Tulips can be handled best
by amateurs when planted in bowls of
fibre,
The Darwins and Cottage class
should be potted cs carly as possible
and plunged out of doors where the
drainage is good. Water standing
around the pots will be fatal, Bring
the pots in about the middle of Janu-
airy and grow on slowly. The tenn
perGtufe should never be above 60 de-
grees.
Narcissi are treated the same as
tulips when planted in the open
ground setting the bulbs five or six
inches apart for the larger bulbs and
three to four inches for the smaller
sorts. Cover the bulbs one and half
times their depth All are hardy cX-
except tho polyanthus group. Once
planted they multiply and fill up the
space between the plants.
For pot culture treat narcissi the
same as hyacinths except that three
or more bulbs should be potte6 to-
gether never singly.
Crocus thrives with most any treat
ment except planting too deeply. Do
not cover them with more than an
inch of earth.
A lot of crocus bulbs in a pot or
pan will flower well If grown In an
even cool temperature. They do not
stand heat well. Crocuses are excel
lent subjects for growing in moss
fibre.
All the tulips are excellent foi
planting among the hardy borders ano

When arranged in this manner the
bulbs can be planted close together so
that each bulb almost touches those
surrounding il. This is rather COM
plcated and should be tried only on
good sized beds. The most satisfac-
tory combinations are made either
with single and double early tulips or
either single or double early and Dar-
wins.
Beds of this kind give quite start

long the towering season greatly. One
plan is to plant row of single tulips
and then row of double. BY plant

had thus If Queen of the Netherlands,
pale pink, single early, is used in COM
bination with double early Cochineal,
brilliant scarlet, the alternate rows of
pale pink flowers will completely oc-
cupy the bed at one time and when the
petals of the first flowers have dropped
The sun., 1919-10-19

the bed will be covered with brilliant
scarlet double flowers.
The same effect can be produced
by planting both kinds in the same
row, alternating them so every other
bulb will be single and every other
double.
The season of the tulip bed can be
still further prolonged by using in the
combination Darwin tulips such as
Psyche, old rose. edged white.

SHADDOCK.

Florida, the land of sunshine and
perpetual summer, is noted for its pine
apples and oranges, but many tour
lists do not know that there grows in
the land that Ponce de Leon discovered
n gigantic orangelike fruit which
sometimes weighs ten pounds.
This fruit has not the orange flavor,
but is similar to the grapefruit, which
is sometimes called "pomelo' and il
looks so nearly like a grapefruit that
one who is not an expert cannot tell
the difference. 1t is not called
grapefruit by the natives, but "shad-
dock" and is found south OF Fort
Pierce, and is well known in Miami
Homestead, Palm Beach and the
Florida Keys.
All shaddock does not grow to weigh
ten pounds. but many a one can be
purchased in the markets of Florida
which will easily tip the scales AZ
half that weight; and if one wants 10
go out in the Everglades he can easily
gather all the shaddock he cares to eat
or ship back up North to his friends
there as these shaddock trees have
been growing there for hundreds o.
years and have no owners, save the
beasts of the junglelike hammocks and
the Seminole Indians, who still roam
the Everglades undisputed by the
white man. B. YoRKsToNE HoGG.
