If it is desired to plant crocus or
narcissus in the grass, the sod should
be lifted carefully and the underlying
soil spaded and fertilized. the bulbs
planted and the sod put back IN po-
sition.
In respect to depth. DR.. Griffiths
recommends in Department Bulletin
No. 1877 that in general bulbs be set

snowdrops and to 5 inches for hya-
cinths, narcissus and tulips. The dis
tance between bulbs may be varied 10
suit the fancy, crocus and snowdrops
and similar sized bulbs may be set
within 3 or inches OF one another,
while 6 to 9 inches viii be more suit
able for larger kinds such as hyacinth,
tulip and carcissus.
Some peole like to plant in formal,
designed beds. Others prefer to scat
ter bulbs in small beds among the
shrubbery or in the borders. Crocus
and snowdrop are often planted at
random about the lawn. Really the
manner of arranging paintings is
quite largely a matter of personal
taste.
The choice of varieties and species
for planting should be partly governed
by price. Just at this time narcissus
and hyacinths are rather costly while
tulips and crocuses are very reason
able In price. Hence a small outlay
of money should judiciously go for the
less expensive bulbs. Hyacinths and
narcissus however in a way offset
their high cost by being very perma-
nent. With reasonable care few
bulbs will in a very few years become

William Stuart, in charge of potato
Investigations.
In the department studies the par
entage of every seed is known and
carefully planned beforehand, yet
most of the new plants are found to
be inferior to established varieties.
This shows what an extreme chance
any home gardener would have Of de-
veloping a meritorious new variety.
Yet it is from just such patient and
persevering efforts that results have
been obtained in the past. Unfortu-

Often poor grades of grass seed lack

POTATO SEED BALLS.

Many home gardeners are puzzled

balls resemble small. round green to-

more than yellowish-green color.
These seed balls contain the real po-
tato seed, of value only to potato
breeders. The seed Of commerce is,

that larger supplies of wheat from
