I The world seemed to have changed while Jock was ill. The little frost :fairies had been busy with their paint brushes and had put all sorts of gor- geous colors on the trees and bushes. They had never been in the country at this time of year and even Mother hadn’t been there for a long time. The lane down to the front of the farm was hedged on both sides with soft maple trees whose branches of yellow leaves met overhead. road the 1" trees were ")Ne are going through a golden tunnel,” sang Jeannie, “The frost fairies turned all the leaves to solid gold.” But when thcy turned along the ‘ellC Turkish Pilaf Ihg regipes for this foreign dish “But how can he sit in the buggy without bending his leg?"

This should be re- moved in April. The depth for planting is about three times the depth of the bulb and the time for planting in‘ the garden is just as soon as you can get them. Bulbs grown in‘earth store up enough energy to be worth planting in the garden the following year. Daffodils hyacinths, crocusses, tulips, scillas, snowdrops, will all make themselves at home in the garden after winter blooming in water. It is well to add a few bulbs to the garden every year as well as getting them from the house. Do not put them in set beds which have only to be dug up later to make room for something else. Plan to have a riot of spring color in the perennial borders, a clump of Darwin tulips here, some Breeder tulips there, Poet’s Narcissus in the shrubbery and the smaller thingsâ€"Scilras, snowdrops and crocuses Wherever there is room.

Bulbs are not injured by being kept in the cool dark cellar for a time’ longer than necessary, where a later supply of bloom is desired, but to bring them to the light before a good root system is de- eloped is fatal tO' success.

For the average amateur, better results will be obtained by planting the early spring flowerâ€" ing bulbs in a mixture of good garden soil and leaf mold, in about equal parts. A five-inch pot is large enough for one large hyacinth bulb, and a seventeen inchgpot for three. In potting leave the top of the bulb even with the surface of the soil, give good drainage, and moisten thoroughly.
