Fali Practical Time A number of the perennials are l)enefited bv' frequent division, and faîl is a good time to do it. The Shasta (laisies often die if nôt divided everv thi r( vear at least. Pyrethrums shoi;ld alivavs be divided every third year to lie kept at their best.

Seedlings cati be traîisplanted into their quarters if thev are plants of, substantial size, but the greateCt care must l)e used ini seeing that they. are properlv mulched and that the niulch is close about the stems. Bi- ennials, such as Canterbury belîs and foxglovés, should lie given a covering of dry leaves and over thein an old sash or frame covered with tar paper, as they must be both mulched and protected fromn wet if they are to sur- vive, as the%' are vers- su bject to crown rot if they have to stand un- protected. 1Th ey are tiot difficult to grow with this precaution, but many failures re- suIt %%,lien it is not taken.

If the atmos- phere is too bot and dry, none of the narcissi will flourish as they should. The buds are likely to blast. The air iin the room should be kept moist enough to please the plants for the best health of bumans dwelling in the same room. If the buds blast it is an indication that the air is too dry. 0f the large trumpets for growving indoors, Golden Spur is the earliest and easiest. The magnificent golden King Alfred often does better indoors than in the garden. Empress and Victoria, white with vellow trumpets. are also easv indoor plants.

If planted late give +he beds a good mnuleli to del-v freez- ing of the soil so that the bullis may have time to form a good root systemn. Remove the mulch earlv in tlhe spring ,o that the bulbs will not have. to force their leaves through it. Plant daffodils and narcissi lavish- ly. They are the first good cutting1 material'of spring and nothing is finer1 for house decoration than bowls and vases of daffodils and narcissi. The poet's narcissus is much lieloved for its delightful fragrance. Once planted in the garden it will last for years, making big clumnps and increasing rapidlv. Horace is one of the newer poet types with an ail red cup 'and vers' brilliant. Tulips Accommodating Plant in Shade or Sun Tulips are most accomùmodating, as tlev (do equally xvelJ planted in sun'or shade. There is some advantage to platîting the late varieties ini the shade as the color is better and does îîot fade as itoften does Mi full suni. The bloom will be a little later than In~ full sun but it will last several days longer., An ideal situation is. one where' the bullis have morniing sun for a little wvhile and are in the shade for the rest of the day. The delicate, pinks and lavender shades are liest in shady situations where the full beauty and delicacy of their coloring is, best displayed. It lileaches to consideralile extent in full exposprie to the sun, ail day. There are many beautiful tuips in the deli- cate color tones.ý One of the finest of these is John Ruskin in rose and cream. ln pale lilac and yellow is Faerie Queen and in fawn pink is the Fawn. The thrce planited to- gether make a beautiful group in pastel shades. The lighter-bued tulips make the, liest display in the garden as the color carnies- fartber than the rich,1 dark shades which are finer for close inspection. There is a variation of a week in 'the season of liloom betweeni the early and the late varieties in full sun and more.than that in thet Planting of Indoor Bulbs Next Subject for Garden Cen ter "The Planting of Indoor Bulbs' will be the subject of the programi at the North Shore Garden center in Win- netka Commutîitv House Mondai., October 22.

Sometimes it is necessary to break the frozen crust of the soil with a pickax to put ini the bullis in an unseasonable fall, but the bullis don't seem to mind in the least and give their full quota of lilootu the fol- lowiuig spring.
