SELECTING BULBS. 



In potting our bulbs for winter 

 blooming, as many of us are now do- 

 ing, it is to our interest to make a se- 

 lection that will give us both quality 

 and quantity. There is one plant an- 

 swering both requirements that we sel- 

 dom see — the buttercup oxalis. But 

 to have it once is to have it always, 

 for it is one of those little beauties you 

 cannot help but love. The bulb looks 

 just like the kernel of a hazelnut, but 

 it will grow flowers and foliage 

 enough to fill a five-inch pot, besides 

 leaving enough bulbs for a dozen pots 

 for the next autumn. It can be plant- 

 ed any time during the autumn, in or- 

 dinarily rich soil, and if given plenty 

 of suns'hine and water will grow luxur- 

 iously. The leaves are like a four- 

 leaved clover, freckled over with dark 

 brown spots, while the flowers reach- 

 ing up over them in clusters are of 

 that beautiful shade of yellow of the 

 old Scotch rose, and as deliciously 

 sweet scented. I like a lot of the bulbs 

 planted together and a pan of them 

 on a stand in a sunny window makes 

 a very pretty sight, indeed.

THE CALADIUM. 



There is a good-natured rivalry in 

 our town in regard to growing the 

 Caladium Esculentum. From the dom- 

 inie, down to the dressmaker, each 

 tries his hand, seeking to excel his 

 neighbor in the size of this grand and 

 stately plant. In a mound upon our 

 lawn, one superb specimen looks out 

 upon his flowery kingdom as proudly 

 as did King Edward during his corona- 

 tion. 



This monarch, like the other, is at- 

 tended by "scarlet-coated pages" — 

 sometimes* called geraniums — moro
