Not Many Crocus.
The crocus have bloomed and gone
There were not so many Of these this
year, only several hundred scattered
about the grounds. There was q time,
not many years ago. when nearly
10000 Of these bulbs were in the
White House grounds. The gardeners,
in commenting on their reduced num-
bers today, attributed it to the many
squirrels, which dig up the bulbs.
AS William Reeves, who has been
head gardener at the White House for
Is years, walked through the grounds
today, he remarked how far advanced
were the lilacs, the weigela and the
wiStaria. II the warm weather con-
tinues, virtually everything will be
bursting into bloom.
The veteran gardener shakes his
head doubtfully, however He is proud
OF the early display, but something
keeps whispering to him that nature
is only fooling, and that there may
be some heavy frosts or even a sleet
before the spring is honestly arrived.
ITS all very fine" Gardener Reeves
says, but things are blooming too

By J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

The colorful display Of flowers,
shrubs and trees that forms a setting
for the White House is attracting
throngs Of visitors as a result of the
balmy weather which has brought
forth blossoms and buds af-ead Of
schedule.
UnqueStionably the most admired of
the present blooms are the Towering
japanese magnolia trees, three Of
which occupy conspicuous places along
the fence in the front grounds, with
the remaining seven or eight in the
rear grounds.
The front-yard magnolias burst into
bloom two days ago. Two of the three
trees have pink blooms and the other
white. Throughout the day successive
crowds linger along the fence to gaze
on the beauty Of these Towering trees
Imported From Japan.
These trees sometimes are confused
with the Southern magnolia, which
does not bloom until the summer and
which IS famous as an evergreen. and
whose leaf resembles the dark green
waxlike leaf of the more familiar rub
Der plant. There are eight of the
Southern magnolias around the White
House, al OF them in the south
grounds. The youngest was planted
by Mrs. Warren G. Harding. Two Of
the larger trees Of this variety are
located near the foot of the steps
. from the rear portico.
The magnoliaS in bloom now, and
which are attracting SO much interest,
were imported from Japan. Some are
more commonly known as the stellata
tree, some as the soulangeana and
others the star magnolia.
Another importation from Japan
which Is blooming in all its glory at
present is the japanese ounce. There
are two Of these colorful trees in the
rear grounds. They are not as large
AS the japanese magnolias. but their
pink tint is richer and the blooms more
attractive in their clusters. They
started to bloom two days ago and will
last for more than 10 days Many
persons consider them more attractive
than the Japanese cherry blossoms.
Own Cherry Tree Display.
The White House has its own jap
anese cherry tree display, with Is Of
these trees in the grounds, most Of
them in the rear. They are budding
now, but will not bloom for more than
q week.
There is another attractive Japa-
nese variety budding in the rear
grounds. 1t is known as the weeping
cherry. There is only one OF these
trees in the grounds, and it is highly
valued. In addition to the beauty of
its bloom. it has beautiful lacy leaf
of light green color.
