JUST WHY, do you suppose,
is blue the most popular of all
flower colorS when used in the
garden? Maybe because it is
such a good mixer" with all
other colors.a Maybe because II
seems a bit less common l
don't know why. But l do know
that every time ! plan gar
den for any one they are sure
70 say Give me plenty Of blue
foW ers.
Lots Of blue in very early
spring is possible IN sun or
shade in the garden by the
CoplouS use of two kinds Of
bulbs grape hyacinthS and sell
las. II your immediate reaction
is that these are both low grow
ing and have not-too-larGe flow

either Of these bulbs used TO
capacity.
HiIliide Of Blue
I know where there is a hill
side that is solid blue every
spring 1t is planted with thou
sands OF scillas and is a sight
that people from miles around
come To gaze at If you have
no hillside. and likewise no cash
for thousands OF scillas. try
using them in good-Slzed groups
of about 25 bulbs instead Of in
twoS and threcs. Then you'll
really have something.
In the catalog l have In front
OF me at the moment. 100 Scilla
Slberlca (the earliest TO bloomD
costs 81 so. The same amount
buys 100 Early Giant grape
hyacinths, the largest lowered
one OF all. / do not consider that
much 70 pay for, let us say. four
good sweeps Of blue in the
spring garden. especially when
II iS considered that they are
permanent and viii increase
rapidly SO they may be divided

wilder parts Of the garden.
scillaS do exceptionally well un-
der shrubs and trees. may be
used in the rock garden and in
the odd corners where nothing
much else Will grow. The same
uses apply 10 grape hyacinths.
except that scillas do better in
the shade.
Both bulbs may be planted six
or eight 10 a pot or pan, buried
in the ground under the frost
line till late December or early
January, and then brought in

days they'll furnish flowers for

Wandering Old Lady
Is Santa in Italy

Santa Claus doesn't visit children
in Italy. 1t isn't because they are all
naughty, but because there is no
Santa Claus-in Italy.
No one runs down to a well-deco-
rated tree on Christmas morning to
look for presents. Brightly colored
flowers decorate the room instead
of Christmas trees, and presents are
not exchanged until January 6.
On that night, an old. old lady,
La Befana, walks from house to
house and leaves a present beside
each little child she visits.
Exactly 1910 years ago, accord.
ing to the Italian legend, La Befana
was very busy sweeping her kitchen
when several men dressed like kings
stopped in front Of her cottage. They
asked her where Bethlehem was,
but she had never heard of it.
The men told her about a baby
which had been born in Bethlehem.
and mentioned star which had
been guiding them. The old lady
wished she could accompany them
when they left her in search of the
infant Jesus.
But La Befana stayed home. II
was getting too dark out, and be-
sides, the baby could wait until to-
morrow. Later that night she no.
ticed the sky quivering with light.
The clouds seemed to take the form
of angels. All thought of sleep left
her. Rising. she carefully wrapped
two gifts for the Holy Baby. then
ran out into the night in the direc-
ton the kings had gone.
Fast as she hurried, she had not
reached Bethlehem when the star
disappeared and dawn filled the sky.
She frantically asked the way to
Bethlehem. but no one could tell
her.
And so La Befana has constantly
travelled since that day. searching
for the Christ Child. On the Epiph.
any. IL days after Christmas. she
goes from house to house. looking
into the faces OF babies. With each
she leaves a gift. hoping that at last
she will give her presents to the
right child.
