There is n rule among flower gar
dener te plant bulbs, such n tulips
and hyacinth, about the time the leaves
fal. The mania for tulip i creeping
across. America today as it did In Hel
land nmry years age. In ulinest everv
well kept park and lawn, wnercver the
plnnt will grew, nn abundance of spnee
is being given te the tulip.
Hundreds of varieties nre being
grown, but the Darwin tulip, known
by enthusiasts as the "twentieth cen
tury flower." ha spn'nd ever the gar
dens of tlte world faster than any
modern plant Ir.trrducid. with the pos
sible exception of the "Gelden Olow"
rudbeckln. which raced oer the I'ldted
Stntcs within three years after it was
discovered.
Darwin Is Popular
The Darwin is the largest nud tallest
of nil tulips. Seme of the stalks arc
three feet long, and in most every case,
if they are properly managed, the
stalks will be at least two feet long,
which makes them Ideal for cuttinir.
This tulip Ib admired for its numerous
shades of celcr. It has every con
ceivable nliade. from white through
pinks, rose, scarlet, maroon, crimson te
extreme dark, nlnvnH nlnek. There is'n
similar wide range of shades fiem
luNcnder te purple.
' Brighten the I.nwn
Nature's "paint" I skillfully spread
en the .petals, beginning with the dnrk
color at tic bottom of the cup. blend
ing Inte a delicate shade at the edge.
There is still another difference the
inside of the flower i of n different
shade from thut of the outside.
A striking difference between the
Dnrwin and ether late tulips is thnt it
is never lellew. The base if it is
usually blue or white with blue mark
ings. "
Breeder Is Fashionable
hike ether Individuals of the yminser
generation, the Darwin tulip hn its
rivels in the elder forms. Its strongest
competitor is the cln Known ns the
Breeder. The Darwin is really n
brand of this class. The Bree.ler tulin
are new the fashionable type. They
also have a unique range of color,
nearly nil the shades being rnther soft
and dull, producing a combination thnt
"grows en veu." ns ii flower lever
nhrnscd It. The most unusual feature
is that it fiitnlsl.es brawn flowers. Hie
brown flowers with their rusticlike
shndins of m.ihesnnv, buff, golden,
and evn bronze, give it "second aud
often first plnce with tulip fanciers.
Ancient gardens in Europe hnve been
ransacked until new' there nre several
hundred varieties of the Breeders ami
an equal number of Darwtns new in
cultivation Uul-XlV. with its pur
ple brown and golden combination,
resembling old tapestries or rare ori
ental rugs, is a goei example of the
Breeder. It has just come within reach
of the ordinary pocketbook.
Fer yellow, glowing scarlet and
orange colors and paler shades with
stripes, tlie Celtage tulip is among the
best. The flowers are of geed size, but
the stems nre shorter tlinn thu Darwin
and Breeder, varying from ten te
twdity-feur inches.
The Bizarres, another of the general
class of May flowering tulips, are fasci
nating because of their stripes. These
tulips, sometimes called bybloems, nre
splashed, feathered, and llnincu lu at
least two colors, nnd often three are
worked into bewildering combinations
of jellew, red and maroon.
These four, including the Darwin,
Breeder, Cottnge nnd Bizarres, may be
worked into u collective makeup. They
come into bloom nbeut the middle of
May, lasting about two weeks. Then
the bed may be used for ether flowers.
Are Easy te Grew
Tulips are ensy te grew. While most
of the bulbs come from Hellaud, Eng
land and Ireland, growers nre able te
get them lu this country at n reason
able price. They need n well drained
deep, rich soil. Fresh manure should
never be used en boil where the tulips
nre te be planted. Only well retted
manure should be used. none meni
may be applied where decomposed
timiitirn lu nnf ni-nilnble.
Except where the soil is sandy, it isl
best te plutlt 1110 Dllies in ruiM-u ueu-t.
It i often necessary te raise the beds
ns much ns eighteen inches, where the
ground is poorly drained. A handful
of sand dropped In the hole where the
bulb is te be planted will help regulate
the amount of moisture. The snnd
should ee i'ed where the soil is lienvy.
Spade tlie bed at least n feet deep.
Stere in De Place
Ooed plump bulbs should be covered

Mondays, Jnney wns net called upon te

morning, hewever, her mother, being

must get It ready herwlf.
Suddenly, br-r-r-r! With n sigh, she
flung the waist nhe was rinsing Inte the

pink arms en the towel, nnd hnstened te
nnswar the fourth ring at the doerbe 11
that morning. There hnd been the mall
man nnd the woman selling magaz'nes
nnd Mrs. White's little boy te borrow
llie vacuum cleaner, and this time
It wns a very geed-looking young
man with keen gray eyes nnd nn excel
lent nose who smiled pleasantly from
the top veranda step.
"I've come," he naid, "te nppralse your
piano."
"Oh," said Janey Inadequately, "te
appraise our piano." Then, gathering
her resources. "Are you u-a tax assessor
or something?"
The man looked surprised. "Ne, In
deed," he said. "I Just want te see hew
much we can let you have en It toward
a pianela,"
"I3ut but "
"Yeung Mr Archer asked us te drop
nreund," said the man, apparently won
dering at the leek of mystification In
laney'B reft blue eyes.
Se Stephen had actually asked
these people' te send a mnn te the house
te put a money value en father's dearest
possession the beautiful piano he had
saved and saved te g've mother en their
tenth nnnlversary. Suddenly she real
ized that nfter all It wns net the fault of
the patient young man that Steve went
off the handle "Come In," she said,
net ungraciously, "and leek nt It." After
nil, that couldn't de anv harm.
"Thnnk you," said the man. "I'm
Mr. Ilalleu himself. The young fellow
I usually send areunu is ere en his va va

knew him ns the owner of the city's
biggest music store, nnd as she sat prim,
ly en the blue velour davenport watching

that he wasn't se ery much elder than
herself
After loek'ng carefully at the caw,
the man sat down te play, presumbly te

the transaction ls completed. It will be

give him te think that you couldn't pos

te Steve's foolishness. He knows Dad

New It would have taken a much
harder-hearted man than Pratt Balleu
te refuse, the pleading of se pretty a, sup
llant as Janey. "Why, of course," he
sa'd slowly. "Being the boss himself,"
and he smiled IiIb pleasant smile, "I can
always de as I think best. Walt lsnt

Sure enough, Steve was twinging up
the steps. Inte the hall he came, almost
with a mound, through the living room

"Thank you for coming," she said, "Just

But Pratt Balleu, who had decided
that he knew his future wife when lis
