FITCH BLOOM IN THE SPRING, tsulbs that Should Be Planted the First Week in October, Out door flowers are never as attractive s in early spring, when the merest bit of green or glimpse of @ blossom catches qur oolor-starved eyes. There is something o fresh, inviting and prophetic of summer glories to come in the first bright flowers that brave the inclement days of the young yen But it s mot for their hardihood alone that we love them. No mote beauti- ful flower blews than the hyacinth, none more gorgeous than the tulip, none daintler than the grape hyacinth and the lily-of-the- valley. In clouds of rose, azure, crimson, in white, In waves of scarlet, blue and gold the spring flowers appear, filling the afy with their fragrance. The queer thing about them is that every one who sees a fine bed of spring bulbs in bloom always wants to po:sess one just like it, and i he or she could procure them at that time would willingly pay double the prico asked for the bulbs in Autumn. Yet when planting time comes again— and all the world knows, or ought to know, that they can only be obtained two or thres months in the fall—only a few ever think to plant the bulbs that are to furnish next spring’s beauty. If you are one of those forgetful mortals rouse yourself at once and attend to the matter befcre it is too late. The advertis ments of the bulb dealers are to be found in every magazine and newspaper. Send for catalogues, make your choice and hurry the bulbs in ‘the ground as soon as possible, Bulbs can be planted out of doors as late as ember, but the sooner they are set after September the earlier and finer flowers you will have in the spring. It you can afford to, choose Iiberally from the florist’s ist you can scarcely go amiss But if every penny must do the work of two, buy twenty-five or fifty mixed single tulips, that can be purchased at 30 cents a dozen or $2 per hundred. They make a perfect blaze of color in the clear spring sunshine, pink, orange, soarlet, crimson and yellow, flamed flaked, banded ‘and feathered as only a tulip can be. Have masses of them by all means, for they are the most striking flower that can bo grown for a little money. % The double and later tulips, croous,”jon- quils and quite a nuniber of the narcissus fam- ily, are also showy and guite low priced. Very fair are a1 o the snowdrops, sci la ¢ itericus and glory-of-the-snow when grown in clumps, as they should always be, and as they are the earliest of all flowers to bloom, and one priced as low as 25 and 30 cents a dozen, almost any one can afford a few.

The slowest to increase, and consequently the highest in price, are the hyacinths. That but for this would lead all the rest in popularity, for un- deniably they are the most beautiful. Their heavy spkes of superb waxen flowers, in rainbow tints, are simply magnificent, and their fragrance is almost coyingly sweet. The bed for the bulbs should be made mel- low and deep. ~ Set them a few inches apart, the larger bulbs, as the hyacinth and tulip, with the tops cf the bulbs at least three inches below the ground. The smaller ones can be planted a little shallower, but- deep planting is the best for all. The rows should not be more than six or eight inches apart, as spring flowers look best when massed togethier.

As we sat at dinner in the Imperial in New York the orchestra played it, and where we shopped the shopgiris sang it, and even as we exchanged congratulatory smiles a wild-toned street planc played ‘‘Sweet Marfe” in the sireet.
