old, old, old and yellowed newspaper came this poem of
Bulbs of tulips, daffodils and
many other flowers are planted in
fall for bloom the following
spring. When these are set in such
well-defined places as planter
boxes, the gardener will have no
trouble at all in gardening
"around" them.
It's when the bulbs are placed
in groups in beds or borders with
perennials surrounding them that
the bulb plantings need careful
definition. Otherwise the
best-intentioned gardener may, in
early spring, thrust his shovel or
trowel straight through the heart
of the bulb, the leaves of which
have not yet grown above ground.
The best way to mark bulb
plantings without destroying the
appearance of the border is to
sow over them, in late fall, annual
flowers that will sprout in earliest
spring and tell the gardener, by
their presence, that bulbs are
underneath.
Not only must these annuals
sprout very early but they must
be sufficiently delicate in growth
not to interfere with the growing
bulbs. Not many annuals fulfill
these requirements.
Bachelor's buttons, Shirley
poppies and sweet alyssum are
three annuals that are well
qualified as bulb markers. You
need only decide which flower
colors will blend or contrast with
those of the bulbs you are
planting, then scatter the seeds of
the chosen kind over the planted
areas. No need even to cover them
with soil the fall rains will take
care of that.
White-flowered sweet alyssum
blends with any other color so is
particularly versatile.
Blue, pink, white or red are
the flower colors of bachelor's
buttons and seeds are available of
the separate colors so it is easy to
color-scheme with these choices.
Poppy flowers are white,
pink, rose, salmon and scarlet;
seeds usually available only in
mixed colors. But there is a
double, deep, rose-pink variety
named Sweet Briar and
single-flowered varieties Tulip, a
red, and American Legion (also
called Flanders Field) which is
orange-scarlet with a black cross.
Seeds of any of these may be used
to insure flowers all of one color.
When you think of planting
tulip bulbs, think also of planting
seeds of forget-me-nots for they
are the perfect underplanting for
tulips of any hue.
Fall planted seeds pop up
early in spring and flowers appear
in May, along with those of the
May-flowering tulips. The soft
blue of the forget-me-nots cannot
be equalled for its ability to set
off the bright tulip colors.
Since tulips bloom best in a
sunny place, the forget-me-nots,
to bloom beneath them, must be
chosen for a similar situation.
Best to buy is the species named
alpestris because, unlike most
forget-me-nots, it thrives in sun.
For a foot-high brilliant blue
underplanting , order seeds of the
blue-flowered form. If you prefer
mixed colors, order the mixture
and expect flowers of white and
rose as well as shades of blue.
However, if you choose the
mixture, be careful of the shades
of pink tulips you plant
for bloom atop the
forget-me-nots.
Just as tulip bulbs need only
to be planted, so the seeds of
forget-me-nots need only be
sprinkled on top of the soil after
it has been raked smooth over the
planted bulbs. And just as tulips
must be set in a well drained
place, lest the bulbs rot, so
alpestris forget-me-nots demand
well drained soil.
The two flowers are really
perfectly paired.
In many gardens crocuses
literally bring spring with their
early, bright blooms. While they

About a farm an' so would you,
Like mowin' hay an' shockin' oats
An' gatherin' eggs an' feedin' shoats,

There is one job I jest despise,
That's pickin' up potatoes!
The other work is mostly fun
An' you enjoy it 'till it's done
Like herdin' cows an' haulin' straw
Or tractor plowin' with your Pa,
For most farm jobs are lots of fun

look well when planted in groups
in the border, they are even
prettier naturalized under trees or
at the edges of the lawn.
In addition to the popular
mixtures of colors, plantings of
bulbs that will bloom in one color
alone may be used to form a color
scheme for the spring garden.
Among the varieties you can
depend on for color is Paulus
Potter with deep, reddish purple
flowers, Enchantress with
porcelain blue blossoms. Yellow
Mammoth is the most used yellow
variety and Striped Beauty boasts
blooms of lilac, striped with
white. To set off the other colors
there is Snow Storm with
appropriately colored flowers.
Few gardeners realize that
there are crocuses that bloom
even earlier than the Dutch
varieties described above. These
are species called "winter-
er-flowering." They bloom in
winter in mild climates but
throughout most of the country
flower from February on.
Most popular of these species
are susianus and versicolor,
commonly called Cloth of Gold
and Cloth of Silver, with deep,
golden-yellow and white blooms,
respectively.
Crocus corms must be ordered
and planted in autumn. And,
since their leaves must be
permitted to mature in order to
manufacture food for bulb growth
and flowers another year, the
corms must be set where this is
possible.
If planted in grass, set the
corms along the edges and expect
to cut the grass over them not
earlier than late June. By that
time the foliage will have turned
from green to tannish, which is a
sign that it is ready to die down
for the rest of the season. Thus
there is no longer any reason to
keep it alive.
The time-honored way of
planting crocuses in grass and
making the flowers look as if they
grew naturally is to toss a handful
of bulbs in the air and to plant
each one wherever it happens to
fall.
Before you put your garden
tools away for winter, ready them
for spring. First inspect them.
Are they in need of cleaning?
Are the handles split or rough in
spots? Do the tools need
sharpening? Are screws or bolts
loose? Can the hand tools be
found if the grass is a bit high?
Once you've assembled your
tools and inspected them to find
what's wrong, the cleaning
process is simple.
Scrape off small areas of soil
that adhere to tools but wash off,
under a strong stream of water
from a faucet, the larger chunks -
it's easier.
Handles of such tools as
shovels or hoes may be in such
bad shape that they need
replacement. Take the blade of
the tool to your local hardware
store for a new handle. Rough
spots in Otherwise good handles
need only sanding with first
coarse, then finer sand paper to
make them easier on the hands.
Blades of such tools as grass
whips often loosen from use. It
takes only a minute or two to
tighten the screws that hold them
to the handle.
Sharpening the cutting edges
of tools before you store them in
fall saves valuable time in spring
when every part of the garden
needs care at once. Files are used
to sharpen large, heavy tools like
shovels, but spades and hoes are
more easily sharpened on a
carborundum wheel.
Use a whetstone to sharpen a
sickle and an oilstone to sharpen
pruning shears. Saws are best
sharpened bv professionals.
Sharp tool, make garden
chores easier tu do and quicker to
finish. Furthermore, the gardener
will tire less easily when using
sharp tools and have more pride
in his work if tools are clean.
Wiping newly cleaned and
sharpened tools with an oily rag
protects all surfaces from dirt and
rust which keeps the edges sharp.
Painting handles of small t~ol~
bright yellow or oram, e makes
them readily visible and saves you
the time often spent in searching
for them.
Two pretty plants that thrive
, in the house as well as the garden
and boast that much-desired blue
flower color are browallia and
exacum. Neigher of them has a
common name but the Latin ones
are pronounced just as you'd
expect them to be. Browallias are
natives of South America and are
half-hardy annuals in more
northern climates. While several
species are used in gardens, the
best for both garden and indoor
use is Browallia speciosa. This is a
first-rate hanging basket plant.
The plants have slender stems
which tend to become long,
desirable for the hanging basket,
but can easily be pinched
frequently in order to make the
plants bushy. Leaves are oval and
pointed and blooms are either
violet-blue or white.
Exacum affine, the species
most easily available, is really
biennial, though usually treated as
an annual. It will flower the first
year from seeds.
Both browallia and exacum
will flower all winter if set in a
sunny window.
