ried tho State by 140000 he ran onlj
40.000 ahead ot Judge Softbury who
actually polled more votes than Sen

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. Tho first
frost which will put an ond to the
development' of many of tho flowers
in tho home gardou should be tho sig-
nal say specialists of tlio U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture for tho plant-
ing of bulbs of tho tulip hyacinth
and narcissus which aro to furnish
tho first touch ot color for the out-
door garden in tho spring. The bulbs
may bo put in even bofbra tho ap
poaranco of tlio first trost uui oeiior
not until after.
Tulips and hyacinths should be
placed in beds in light rich soil that
has been dug to a depth of at least 10
Inches. They should be sot 4 Inches
deep and 5 Inchos apart. If tho nar
clssus and Its variants Jonquils and
daffodils aro to bo planted in beds
the soil should be prepared similarly
(and the bulbs should bo set 10 Inches
apart and 6 inches deep.
A pleasing variation from planting
tho narcissus type of early sprlng-
bloomlng bulbs formally In beds is to
plant them In scattered groups on tho
open lawn or ln theedgo-otshrubbcryv
A Eood man in arranging ror tne lo
cation ot the flowers on the lawn Is to
broadcast the bulbs and plant tnem
where thoy fall. A small hole 5 or 6
inches deep should be mado and the
bulb inserted pointed end up. Tba
holes should then be pressed tun ot
soil. Often the narcissus planted In
this way will become naturalized on
the lawn and will continue to grow
there Indefinitely coming up year at
ter year. It the tops are left uncut
until near the first of June. Where
the lawn Is kept cut the tops ot the
plants are cut off before the bulb has.
a ohance to develop for the next year's
blooming tnougu may survive a year
or two but become weak and poor af-
ter the first or second year. Crocus
