and the hyacinths six inches, although
they may be set closer together, OF
further apart, as space may permit OF
fancy dictates.
After planting the bulbs the beds
should have heavy mulch of coarse
manure leaves or straw spread over
it for winter protection and raked off
about the middle of March.
If desirable the bulbs may be left
in the beds for the second and pos
sibly the third year, and small-rooted
ANIMALS, such as petunias, alyssum,
verbenas, asters, etc., planted over
the tops of the bulbs without disturb
ing them at all. OF course, the first
seasons bloom is best, and most peo-
pie dig the bulbs up after blooming
and discard them, preferring to buy
fresh new bulbs each season. AS the
bulbs are really inexpensive, this may
in many cases be advisable.
Where it is desired to dig up and
save the bulbs from season to season
The digging should not take place un-
til the bulbs have ripened in the
ground, which is after the foliage has
Ost its color and turned brown; then
lig and clean the bulbs, place them
or few days in shady place to dry
Milford chronicle., 1922-10-06

OFF, bag them next and hang up in a
cool, dry place until time to plant an
other season.
Naturalizing crocuses in the lawn is
a unique and beautiful way to treat
these bulbs. The way to do is this:
Scatter the bulbs Unfortunately and
plant them where they fall, this Civ
ing a natural or wild effect that is
both artistic and beautiful. Plant each
bulb by lifting the sod just enough to
slip the bulb under, using small tro-
wei or heavy knife, and firming the
sod down again over the bulb with the
foot. Then in spring will come the
bright bloom, followed by the foliage,
which in turn will be gone before time
comes to use the lawn mower. You
will find naturalized crocus on your
lawn will cause much favorable COM
nent on the part of those who have !
The pleasure Of beholding the novel
sight.
An effective planting and withal a
most beautiful one is a combination of
yellow and lavender or purple produc-
ID by alternating Trumpet nani-ssut
md hyacinths. These two colors blend
most harmOniously and produce a
most pleasing effect.
Milford chronicle., 1922-10-06

Another novel planting that will
provide both pleasure and surprise as
well is three-buds-in-one. It is ar
ranged by digging bed quite deep,
say, seven or eight inches; put in Dar-
win tulips and cover the bulbs with a
little sand or soil; then put in your
hyacinths, taking care not to put them
directly over the tulips; cover the hy-
acinths and then put in the crocuses a
couple of inches underground and
your bed is complete.
In early spring the crocus comes
first into bloom as harbingers of what
is soon to follow. After they are done
the hyacinths appear in all their
glory and beauty, and 10 and behold!
last of all come the stately Darwins
into glorius bloom. For a bed three
feet in diameter use thirty-seven Dar-
wins planted six inches apart, thirty
seven hyacinths and 127 crocuses, and
you will have one bed serving the pur-
poses Of three-a blaze of glory in
March, April and May.
There are many other fine things,
90, that can be planted in the fall, as
veil as Dutch bulbs, shrubbery, Pc
rennals, peonies and numerous other
hings that cannot be gone into at
his time.

NOW is THE TIME TO
PLANT FALL BULBS

Plant them literally and they will
bring much pleasure and satisfaction
with their bright and snowy colors
! next spring, while the world is still
bleak and colorless from the winter
just past.
The lovely tulips, the stately hya-
cinths, the beautiful daffodils and
bright crocus must be planted in the
fall if you would enjoy them in the
spring. Their beauty is not for "hand-
to-mouth" people who expect to plant
them one day, as it were, and have
them in bloom the next; it is neces-
sary to anticipate.
In planting the bulbs well-drained
locations should be selected, as the
bulbs are apt to rot out if there is an
excess of water on the beds. Spade
up the bed we'll and set the bulbs in
with three inches of soil over the tops
of tulips and daffOdils, six inches un-
der for hyacinths and two inches for
crocuses.
The best effects can probably be had
by spacing the tulips and daffodils
three or four inches apart each way

on the birth of son. Mr.. Downing is
resident engineer of the State High
way Department.

CONTRACT HELD UP.

Because the bids were considered
too high, the county commissioners
and the West road commission, in ses-
sion in Yorlvillc Tuesday, failed to
award the contract for the building of
the West road from Bullock's creek
trestle to Sharon, n distance of about
two and one-half miles. The bid of
Stewart S Jones, road contractors,
which was lower than the bid of Stern
Bros, of North Carolina, was in the
neighborhood of $4,000, q sum almost
twice the contract price for building
the road from Hickory Grove to the
trestle.
Since the grade of the road from the
trestle to Sharon is not considered
materially greater than the stretch
from Hickory Grove to Bullock's creek
the commissioners considered the bids
beyond all reason and both bids were
declined. 1t was stated yesterday that
the proposals would be re-advertised
and an attempt made to let the con-
tract early next north.
Under the proposals submitted to
bidders last Tuesday the time limit for
completing the work was set for sixty
days. 1t was stated unofficially that
the contractors increased their bids
over what they would have otherwise
been because of this short time limit,
which would have caused them to in
crease their construction forces.
The county engineer said yesterday
that the state highway commission,
which has the matter in charge in
connection with the West road commits
sioners, would extend the time limit in
the new proposals to be published.

BULLocKs CREEK BRIDGE.

Contract to erect bridge over Bull
locks creek on the Sharon Hickory
Grove road at Il price slightly in ad-
vance of $1S,6OO, was awarded the
Austin Bros.'s Bridge company of At
lanta, at a meeting Of the county COM
missioners last Tuesday. Under the
terms OF the contract the bridge must
be completed in at least $50 working
days, construction work to begin as
soon as the necessary bridge force
and materials can be placed upon the
scene.
The new bridge will be about 300
feet in length, according to w. w. Mil
Ter, county engineer. This includes a
steel span across the creek, 120 feet
in length, the remainder of the bridge
to be of creosoted trestle work. The
bridge floor is to be equipped with
an asphalt wearing surface, the drive
way to be eighteen feet wide.
This new bridge over Bullock's creek
will fill long felt want in Broad Riv-
er township. 1t will be located at a
site several hundred feet distant from
the present bridge site, the site having
been decided upon by the builders OF
Broad River townships new system OF
roads which have been under con-
struction for some time past.
With the installation of this new
bridge across Bullock's creek, which
will be of such height that it can be
crossed in practically any kind OF
food, Broad River township residents
feel assured of the best road between
Sharon and Hickory Grove and on tC
the Cherokee township lines that they
have ever enjoyed.
