Bulbs give the earliest garden flowers, and dominate garden displays dis-plays in early spring. The first flower to open when the ground begins to thaw in spring is the snowdrop or galanthus. Its tiny white flowers are scarcely an inch across with petals spread out, but a clump of twenty-five peeping through the snow is truly beautiful to winter-weary eyes. Plant them in a group, never in a row, placed where they can be seen from a nearby window. Sclllas and chlnodoxas, both blue, are next to bloom, much earlier than violets. Thgy really carpet the ground with color, and like our climate and soil Both will spread from seed dropped each spring, so start your first plantings where there is room to expand. Remember Remem-ber these early flowers come before be-fore there are any leaves, and may be planted close to shrubs, or in border spaces where taller neighbors, neigh-bors, later in the season, would hide them. Crocuses bloom before the daffodils; daffo-dils; and they should be planted in groups, never in rows, and never in grass which will be mowed. The foliage of ak bulbs must be allowed to turn yellow and dry "up before the bulbs are lifted If the leaves are cut off while still green the bulb cannot mature. Crocuses give us blue and yellow flowers which look well together, and may be combined in many pleasing patterns. pat-terns. The first daffodils come after the crocuses, and then the hyacinths, early tulips and finally the tall, late tulips, which usually blossom two weeks before the irises, and are capable of a color display which cannot be surpassed the remainder of the year. Any Way You Mould is Garden Bonus Wherever gardeners meet, talk about "organic gardening" is likely to be heard, and loudly. But do not let this clamor, which is often accompanied by arguments about various pet formulae for making compost, frighten you out Of saving your leaves this fall. All you need to do to make leaves turn into humus, is let them alone. For the sake of neatness, it is well to rake them up, and pile them in a corner where they will not be unsightly. But nature will do the rest in due time. Two years from now you will have a precious store of leaf mould without any further trouble. And once the annual practice prac-tice Is established, then every year a crop of humus, thoroughly decayed, de-cayed, is available for spreading on your garden. Methods of management, which may seem elaborate, are justified on two points, first they can speed up the rate of decay, so that compost com-post is available in one year instead in-stead of two; and second, where room is at a premium, they confine con-fine the compost pile in reduced space, and improve its appearance. To speed decay, the growth of the bacteria which cause decay is stimulated. There are two methods meth-ods of doing this. These bacteria are present in decaying manure, so that when a small quantity of manure is spread through the compost com-post pile, their number is increased and their activity hastened. They consume nitrogen, so if they are fed, so to speak, with nitrogen they will Increase in number num-ber and decay will be hastened. If manure is lacking, or there is objection to using it, commercial cultures of these bacteria are now available, and can be used instead. Nitrogen can be supplied by mixing chemical fertilizer with the compost com-post material. Any organic matter can be used in a compost heap; and this means table refuse from the house. But It is not practical to use it except in a managed pile, where it can be covered with earth to kill odor. The simplest way of creating a Bulbs . jured. A mulch placed over the bulbs after the ground has frozen will keep the frost in, and reduce frost heaving. When it is Intended to allow tulips to remain where you plant them several years rather than dig them up after they have blossomed end their leaves have turned yellow each summer, they should be planted plant-ed two or three inches deeper than the normal depth. Deep plating may cause flowering flower-ing to be somewhat later, so all bulbs which it is desired shall blossom blos-som at the same time should be planted the same depth. The lilies which need deep planting plant-ing (7 to 10 inches) are those that make roots on their stems above the bulb. The madonna lily, which does not do this, needs shallow shal-low planting, 3 to 4 inches down. J i r . i Scillas blossom before the violets. 1 J Plant crocuses In group near window. It is a mistake to plant only daffodils daffo-dils and tulips, and neglect the smaller but earlier flowers. They may not make a spectacular showing show-ing to impress garden visitors, but the spiritual uplift which their appearance ap-pearance will bring to you next March or April, will be one of your most satisfying garden experiences.

But carefully exclude, if you would avoid trouble, all wood, branches, twigs and metal objects.

Wood ashes and limestone lime-stone are also beneficial, each in three or more times this quantity. Then wet it down.

In preparing the seed bed, spacing the seed and covering it, they avoid the lavish waste which characterizes nature's na-ture's methods. But in timing seed sowing, nature's way is usually the best Annual flowers drop their seed in late summer and fall. Many fall on hard soil, and fail to find cover; but those which do so will grow and, if hardy varieties, will produce superior plants for next year's flowering. They bloom earner than plants grown from spring sown seed, and sturdier than those started in a greenhouse. But to make every seed produce a plant, care must be taken to overcome numerous hazards. Seeds or seedling plants may drown in locations where water fails to drain off promptly; they may be washed out of the soil by heavy rains, or decay in soil that remains wet too long. Wherever several annuals commonly seed themselves, conditions are likely to be favorable for other varieties. In a garden where no annuals self-seed, self-seed, it will be prudent to prepare a special bed for fall sowing, with the surface raised several inches to insure good drainage, and surrounded sur-rounded by a wooden curb several inches high, to prevent rains washing wash-ing over it. No. 1 candidate for fall sowing is the annual larkspur. This is a flower that takes a long time to germinate, and demands cool weather in which to do it. It is so hardy that when it drops seed in a favorable place, its tiny seedlings seed-lings develop in the fall and live through the most severe winters unharmed. un-harmed. If possible, seed should be sown in the place where the flowers flow-ers are wanted, since it is seldom practical to transplant this subject Shirley poppies, calliopsis, candytuft, candy-tuft, cosmos, the fragrant nicoti-ana, nicoti-ana, and all colors of bachelor button but-ton are as hardy as oaks, and will grow from fall sown seed unless destroyed by one of the special Ive Tulips Time to Grow For Flowers This Winter Tulips and daffodils can be flowered in the home when planted in pots, in what the florists call "good potting soil." Two parts of your best top garden soil, one part sand and one part of peat moss will make a good substitute. Add more sand if the top soil is heavy, thoroughly mix and run through a -inch mesh screen. Place each bulb so that its point is half en inch below the surface. Now it is necessary to allow the bulb to make roots; and for this purpose the pot must be placed in a dark and cool place, where it cannot freeze or dry out too much. A cold frame, where it can be covered with leaves, ashes or sand, will do. When placed in this storage the pot should be thoroughly soaked, and no further watering should be necessary. If stored in an indoor cellar or closet the soil should be prevented from drying out excessively. exces-sively. Root action will follow and when top growth begins the pot may be brought indoors or kept in the storage place and so retarded until wanted. After being brought indoors the pot must be given all the light possible pos-sible and kept in a temperature which averages 60 degrees until stems, leaves and flower buds are formed. After buds are formed a temperature of 70 degrees will TIKE REPAIRING VULCANIZING BATTERIES 'ODD SIZE TIRES ON HAND 30x3Vi 5.50x18 - 34x5. 24in-Tractor 24in-Tractor Tires and Service BRIMHALL BROS.

Larkspur. winter hazards which have been mentioned. These also are seldom transplanted. Since they grow without with-out difficulty from spring sown seed, there is not the same need for fall sowing that exists with the annual larkspur, but plants from fall sowing give flowers earlier, and are much more vigorous than greenhouse or hot-bed in the spring, in the attempt to get early flowers. .When bulbs are planted alone in beds or borders, hardy annuals may be sown in the same place this fall, to blossom after the bulbs have flowered and their foliage fo-liage has disappeared.

Easiest Bulbs to Grow in House, Flower in Water Easiest flowers for the amateur to grow in the house this winter are bulbs which need only water to enable them to flower. Botanists say a bub is a storehouse containing contain-ing a new plant, plus food and energy sufficient to carry it to maturity. Warmth, water and light start up growth, but this must not be too rapid. Paper white narcissi, its yellow cousin narcissus soliel d'or, and top size hyacinths are the varieties most commonly grown in water without soil; but croc ses, and grape hyacinths can be grown in bowls containing bulb fibre, and lily of the valley pips will flower in bowls with wet sphagnum moss packed about their roots. Failure is usually due to fast growth stimulated by high temperatures, temper-atures, which result in scanty roots, spindly top growth, and no flowers at all, or very poor ones. Whether grown in gravel and I water, bulb fibre, or soil, contain-' contain-' ers several inches deep should be ' used, so there is plenty of room for roots. Set the bulbs close together, but do not let them touch. There should be two inches of gravel, soil or fibre below them, and water should be kept only high enough to touch the base of the bulbs. Root formation precedes top growth and should take four weeks. A temperature below 60 degrees is essential and it may be kept below be-low 50. Roots develop best in the dark, but with these bulbs a subdued sub-dued light is permissible. When the roots are fully developed, top growth will begin, and at this -stage the bulbs can be given more light though it is well to keep them out of direct sun until flower stalks begin be-gin to develop. Then give them all the light possible. Best flowers will result if a temperature tem-perature of 65 degrees is never exceeded. ex-ceeded. Be careful to keep the plants away from steam pipes and radiators, or living rooms heated above 70 degrees.
