The death of the creator of Nick Carter will very probably cause more widespread grief in Spain and Latin- America than in Nick's native land. More thousands-of readers, juvenile and elders, were regular followers of | Nick's exploits in the Spanish trans- lations than there have been In Eng- lish-speaking countries for more than ten years at least. Traveling through the Latin countries, you find the fa- mous weekly still - prominently dis- played on nearly every news vender's |-stand.

Flowering corms should not be less than one and a half inches in diameter. Plant the corms from three to four inches deep and about six inches apart. They may be set either in rows about two feet or three feet apart, or in groups con- venient for staking and cultivating. The small cormels (small shQuld be planted about two inches deep with the old corms, or separately. Cutting Blooms.--Cut those with fairly long stems wien two or three of the bottom flowers have opened, and put in water as soon as cut. If about half an inch of the stem fis cut off every day or two; the spikes will continue in flower for a long time after being gut. The old spikes of flowers not cut off should be cut when they are through flowering be- fore the seed forms on them. Storing for Winter. -- Gladioll corms should be dug, and stored over winter. - Dig the corms before severe | frosts, about the middle of October. Cut off the tops a few inches above the ground, dig the corms, and put them in a shed or room away from the frost for abeut two weeks to dry, then put them in a cool fairly dry room or cellar, where they will not freeze, temperature about 40 deg. F. In very damp cellars they may be hung up in baskets, or tiled bunches and hung up to the joists. Before planting the large corms for the next season's bloom, remove the remains of tops and the old corm at the bottom. The small corms (or cormels) should also be removed. The small plants from the cormels should be dug and stored during winter much in the same way as for the large flowering corms. Save cormels (small bulbs) from the best varie- ties. It will take three or four years to grow flowering corms from the small cormels to flower well. | The following are a few of the | many varieties grown that will make | are not ashamed to be seen reading A professor of romance lan- | a good collection garden: -- Afterglow, America, Augusta, Blue for an amateur's Jay, Cardinal, Contrast, Dawn, Ro- | impression of spontaneity." --i---------- bulbs) | | acrimony. | Blake in concealing 'the degree of men's minds and memories.
