Tulip bulbs that are expected toj during the winter. They should be ivHsHteit the lawn in the early spring nee* % senerato jjoto rather than to must be planted to the late fan after heavy frosts or light freeses hare checked vegetation. On the fortieth parallel they should be planted about the-first week in November, ana south a little later. These pleats ire, adapted to out-of-door cul- * to allparts^of the United States where the weatherjs cold enough to treese the soil for a few weeks to the winter and they should be planted s&&5* a month before the ground is liable to freeze up. Other "Holland bulbs," such an the hyacinth and nar- cissus should be pianied at the sane rinie as the tulip. The 17. 8. Department of Agricul- ture's specialist considers that tulips are most appropriately planted among shrubbery where they may he natural- ized or where they may remain per- manently, in general they are used to advantage to formal beds or in borders on the »*»., *' The best *sotl for the tulip Is a window boxes. Holland bulbs, such as the narcissus, tulip, and hyacinth, are practically the only plants that will flower satisfactorily in the house with ordinary care."

This is done by planting the bulbs In soil either to pots or what florists know as "pans, which are shallow porcelain pots, or in boxes. These bulbs are then put to a cool place in the dark, for a period of two to six or eight, weeks, or even longer if desired. They should be left there until the roots are well started. In the ease of bulbs planted in pots, the pots may ho to verted and gently tapped, when the bulb and soil will come out in a When the belbs basiL long in the pots, the earth to the bot- tom of the pot will be completely covered with rootlets.

The various forms ot the yellow narcissus can be brought into bloom from December until the time for outdoor blooms by starting the bulbs early to the tall and bringing them Into the light at Intervals of a week or ten days. For the earliest bloom it is desirable to get the bulbs storied to October, and all of the bulbs Should be.planted be fore the middle of November. Tulips require special care and at- tention. It is best to place the.pots or pans to a box and cover'the whole pot with.at least two inches addional soil or ashes, and leave them (here uctH the bud has pushed clear above the pot. otherwise the blooms will be strangled 4m attempting to get out of the bUlbs these pots and*boxes may be burled in the open ground, the pots being covered with four Inches of soil. In localities where the ground customar- ily freeses hard, a heavy coating ot manure should be added, as soon nx the first crust treses over the bulbs. This layer of manure will prevent their freezing and will permit, the bulbs to be removed to the house from time to time as needed. The hyacinth, paper-white narcis- sus and especially the Chinese sacred lily are frequently grown In water. Special glasses, for these bulbs may successfully grown, or they may be placed in any attractive dish and sup- ported by pebbles. The water should be kept so that It touches the bottom of the bulb.

The present pou!arIty of the story is an outgrowth of Froebel's school, where it was made the foundation of all kindergarten work. From the kindergarten the influence of the story baa extended throughout the element sry school, and baa found its way Into the story-hours of the playground and public library. While as a means of entertainment It may ho overworked until it becomes a fad, viewed educa- tionally, its proml nenco is significant.
