"roves t Barrier Ne 1 w [ )t Nou T Ti w uie M nsl s This is the last chance to make sure of a fine display of. flowers from bfl~ next spring.. Tulips, Jongquils, % dils, snowdrops and croeuses should secured immed‘aiely and planted so that they will be able to establish themselves before winter sets in and be all ready to spring into flower whortly after the snow disappears seven months ence. Many kinds of those spring bulbs sre well adapted for plarting in the grass along the drivewsy or walks, or here and there through the lawn. Som# people make a practice of throwing the very early spriny bulbs, such as crocuses, over their shoulder on to the lawn and of planting wherever they fak. â€"A hole is dug with a trowel and abcut two inches of good soil placed in :‘he botâ€" tom and the bulb planted a depth of about twice its diameter. The larger bulbs make a better showirg when placed in clumps of from half a dozen to twontyâ€"five and planted in the perâ€" ennial bed or in borders. There are many varieties of tulips particularly and these bloom at different periods so that if a pr.per selection is made a steady supply of flowers can be had from early spring until June. PLANTING OUTSIDE It is a simple matter to have a brilâ€" liant display of blooms withi1 a few weeks after the snow disappears. To get this, secure oulbs now and plant outside. These bulbs are imported by the seeds...en from Hollan! where they were grown this yea, and m which the flower for next year isâ€"alâ€" ready formed. On this account, it is advisable to get the largest size buibs, w) ich. naturally contain the largest flowers, and with which fewar "misses" in bloom will be experienced. The bulbs are »Jlanted outside in Sepâ€" tember, where they will develop root growth before the freeze 1p and be it a good positiocr to spring forth just as soon as the snow disappears in the spring. Snowdrops will bloom as soon as the snow is gone, and those are followed in rapid succession by seilâ€" las, crocuses, Grape and Duich hyaâ€" einths, narcissus, Cottage, Darwin and einths, narcissts, Cottage, Darwin and Breeder tulip.. There is also a »‘ngle early tulip which will come firs. cf all, althou;n it is not as beautiful as the Darwin and later sorts. By selecting varieties carefully, and keeping in mind the time of blooming, there will be some flowering by these bu‘bs from early in April until almost July. Tuâ€" lips, narcissus and hyacinths should be planted from four to six inches deep and about the same distance apart, while the smaller bulbs should be planted about two inches apart and about two inches deep. In very heavy soil, the shallower planting should be followed. This is also the time to plant those in:lbs which one wishes to have bloom Irdoors from late November until March This is a simple form of gardning and practically all of the ordinary spring bulbs such as narcisâ€" sus, hyaeinths, Chinese lillies, tulips, freesias, scillas and daffodils can easâ€" ily be grown indoors in soil, water or fibre. The latter substance, which ean be bought at ony seed store, along with the bulbs, is the cleanest to handle, can be used over and over again and usually gives generally satisfactory resilts. With the excepâ€" tion of the Chinese lily which is plantâ€" ed almost on top of the soil, fibre or gravel, the bulbs should be planted in pots deep enougt so that only the tip shows above the surface. Water lightâ€" Iy and place in some dark, cold corner where the temperature can be kept well below 50 degrees, if possible. The narcissus will bloom in about six to eight weeks, while the hyacinths, tuâ€" lips and daffodils will not come on for two or three months. By planting in succession, particul<rly with the narcissus, two or three crops can be secured, but with those bulbs that take a longer time to flower a succession of bloom is more easily obtained by using early, medium and late varieties. With the tulips, select those varieties which are specially adapted for forcing. Drainage should be provided where swil is used, but it. is not necéssary with fibre which substance makes ideal material where fancy bow!s are used. After planting, with the exception of the freesias, leave in the cool temperâ€" ature and dark place until a good root growth has developed and the sprouts are up about an inch. One or two pots can be turned out in the hand to make sure that the root !Nwth_!l Fall Bulb Planting make sure that iNC POO® BTZMOTOC CC spreading around inside. When this stage has been reached, water more liberally and bring out into fair light at a temperature of about .50 degrees. In a week or two, remove to full sun and 65 or 70 degrees. Unless the pants get this cold, dark start they will develop too quickly. and small sickly fowers are the result. Usually they come out of the cellar only a few weeks before blooming. After they are out in flower, keep in a cool room, avound 65 degrees, if possible, and they will last much longer. » Wordy :: ‘A¢" **"®â€" Such as thy words are, such will thy affections be esteemed; and such will they deeds as thy affections; and such thy life as they deeds.â€"Socrates.

The Hudson‘s North, with trading stores, wareâ€" houses, mission schools and a sawâ€" mill: A number of whitewashed cabins ranged along the deeply inâ€" dented shore give it the appearance of one of the picturesque fishing vilâ€" lages along the St. Lawrence. Of more than passing interest, since it portrays another segment of Canâ€" ada‘s northern inheritance, is a new map of the Chipewyan region. The Topographical â€" Sirvey, Department of the Interior, has compiled a proâ€" visional edition of this sheet, which embraces over 5,000 square miles of Northern Alberta immediately west of the Saskatchewanâ€"Alberta boundâ€" ary, from aerial and other surveys, on a scale of four miles to the inch. With its numerous channels woven across the alluvial flats at its mouth, the delta of the Athabaska river forms the maii featre of the map. This delta now spreads itselft 50 miles east and west and 20 miles north and south, and is~constAntly fcrming new channels as the adjoining lakes of Claire, Baril, Richardson and Mamawi slowly recede. Besides being a famous rendezvous for waterfowl it supports a rich growth of marsh bay. The surveyor who mapped it h‘pm the air ,and who was familiar with the dyked .ands of Grand Pre, expressed the opinion that if it were dyked and drained it would form one of the richest farming districts of Alberta. The lower Peace, on the northâ€" westerly quarter of the map, flows in a wide shallow valley through exten: sive flats alternftely heavily timberâ€" ed, and open and parklike. On the heavier soils rich peavine and vetcb, with wild raspberries and other small fruits, make good feeding grounds for prairie chicken, . ptarmigan and a species of grouse resembling the "foolâ€"hen". Caribou, deer and buffalo find rich pasture over the westerly portion of the map. Furbearers everywhere still contribute to Chipewyan‘s imporâ€" tance as a furtrading post. Athabaska lake, except just outside the delta, is very blue and clear. yielding quantities of whitefish and lake trout which are sent by steamer up the river to McMurray and shipâ€" ped by train sven as far as Chicago. Several steamers weekly make the trip from McMurray to Fitzgerald and call at Chipewyan on the way. Considerable historical interest atâ€" taches to Chipewyan through its having been the ancient gateway to the North Weir river to the Churchill and then ccross to the Clearwater which ompties into the Athabaska river near McMurray. "Peter Pond, in 1778, built the first post in the North near the Junction of the Embarass river with the Atha baska at the south of the map. Here he bad a garden of which Sir Alex: ander MacKenzie, in 1787, said: "It is as fine a kitchen garden as I ever saw in Canada" the earliest tribute to the richness of these alluvial flats. On the south of Atbhabaska lake, Old Fort Point is shown, the site of the first Fort Chipewyan, from where MacKenzie set out in 1789 to naviâ€" gate the great river which bears his name. _ Three years later be again left this post on his famous voyage to the Pacific.
