The stiff little itch gardens with prim rows of early Hps behind their box edgings and ® herbaceous borders of English gar- ns with gorgeous masses of daffo- I8 and tulips are equally charming. ut no one can afford to miss the atest delight of all, the pleasure of planting of bulbs grown informaily, if they were sown by the hand of ture. More, perhaps, than peren- ials, bulbs are at home in such a anting. There are, of course, excep- ons to the rule—for example, such 1bs as the heavy-headed Dutch hya- nths, which seem especially created T more formal use, such as for pots the sun room or on the terrace, or r rows delightfully in the formal One of the pleasures of a naturalis- tic planting is its permanence. In the flower garden one is always weed-. ing, clipping and rearranging to keep the beds trim. But once the work of naturalizing the bulbs s accomplish- ed they almost care for themselves.

Of particular interest will be the annual report of Clarence F. Dono- hoe, retiring president, and the report of James P. Schick, executive secre- tary and treasurer. It is expected that several hundred real estate men will attend the elec- tions and take an active part in the committee work assigned to them dur- e S, commont . blue squilly an. jape -+ hyaanthy her!e) * 5 0 $arden.

At the edges of the lawn, where the grass grows tall- er, or where the shrubbery begins, place grape hyacinths (Muscari) and those daffodils (Narcissus) with heav- fer foliage, which becomes untidy in effect if left to ripen on the lawn.
