Natures Children
Hyacinth
Hyacinth
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

The name of this flower is Of
Greek origin, taken from Greek
mythology, and is supposed to have
played q most important part in
special ceremonies, If you are to
take any stock in the legends told
about the power of its fragrance and
color.
1t is one of our most popular hardy
spring Towering bulbs. Its flowers
are usually blue, red or white. The
bulbs may be grown under glass for
winter bloom.
So far as records 60; the hyacinth
has been cultivated for so many
centuries that the number of years
has been almost lost. In the Meth
erlands the tulip had to share hon.
ors with 1t. It grows wild in Syria,
Dalmatia, Greece and Asia Minor.
Holland grows millions of bulbs to
export to other countries, and be-
cause Of this heavy importation, 1t is
called the Dutch hyacinth. The
Roman hyacinth belongs to another
group.
To grow perfect hyacinths is not
difficult, If you will follow simple
rules. The strength of the roots
item one. In the fall the plant
makes all haste to perfect its root
growth. Therefore, plant your
bulbs in October, in good garden soil
that is well drained. Spade the
ground carefully to depth of 20

winter really sets in, cover the bed
with leaves, peat moss, dry debris
or coarse manure, and leave until
spring.
When spring comes, begin taking
OIL one inch of blanket as the warm
er days arrive. Be sure there is no
danger Of q late frost before you
take of the last covering. When
making large border, use second
sized bulbs. They do not become
top-heavy with blooms which would
be fine targets for strong spring
winds.
II you wish to present hyacinths
for Christmas gifts next year, plant
your bulbs in pots by September.
Use rich leaf-mold, sharp sand and
dirt from well-seasoned compost
heap. Bury the pot in the open
ground until the roots are developed
about six weeks. Then take the
pot up, place in subdued light and

After the blooming season is over,

down as far as IL to 16 inches with

Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep

resented large reduction below ex-

declared that if the curve Of en-

ed, it might be necessary to ask for
additional funds.
The Chief Executive arranged a
conference on the relief problem to-
day.
Stephen Early, presidential secre-
tary, said message would be sent
to Congress at later time after pos
sibly several more conferences had
been held.
HOW much more, if any, the Pres

France Asks
Recall OF
Ambassador
French Charge Allies
"Insulted" BY Tele.
gram Which Russian
Envoy Attempted To
Send; No War Decla-
ration Likely Now

Paris, March 21-(AP)-A COM
plete break in diplomatic relations
between Soviet Russia and France
appears to be foreshadoWed in the
recall-at French rcqueSt--of the
Soviet ambassador to France.
An official spokesman charged to-
day that France and her war ally.
Great Britain, were "insulted" by
telegram which the envoy. Jakob
Surits, recently attempted to send TO
Joseph Stain, congratulating him
on the peace treaty with Finland as
a stroke against "British-French war
mongers".
A censor stopped the message be-
fore it could get on the wire to the
Kremlin, it was disclosed in Moscow
by an official account of the affair.
Even in view of the possibility Of
complete rupture, there still was
no indication that French military
purposes would be served by de-
claration Of a formal state of war
between France and the Soviet
Union.
But, if Russia makes a decisive
move with Germany in the Balkans,
that would be another matter, it was
said.
AS for that possibility. the French
pointed to the huge allied force in
the Near East.
The French demand that Russia
recall Surits was interpreted as a
warning to Russia from the new
"win the war" government under
Paul Reynaud that it intends to take
sitter diplomatic course in the
conflict with Germany, RlSsia's
neW-found friend.
