Can't avoid them and that is a fact. Li tt le hurt s ,scratches, bumps, bruises and burns-they are bound tocome. Keep a handy emergency equipment within reachall t he ti me. The most vi tal acquisition and necessity inany home.

How the Kiddies e n j o ~ T a vacation at the seashore!And the ch ie f reason is because they so love to p la y i n t h esand.

Not everyone can give their children a trip t o t heshore. But who will deny t hem an a t tr act ive sand-box,filIed with love ly soft sand just wait ing to be mix ed intop ie s a nd cas tl es and br idges?

Come and see the sample sand-box in our office whichwe .can have copied fo r y ou i n two days' t im e. R ai se d onl eg s f rom the ground, it is strongly built, with a ledgearound th e s ides to prov ide a s ea t f or t he children whileplaying. It is painted green outs ide and gray within; isfour foot square, and sel ls for ,the nominal s um o f $10.00,and sand at 25 cents a bushel.

-Whittier.

We have wat ched t he f ad ing o f theSnowdrops (Galanthus nival is ) andthe Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) but we sti ll have with us the bl\}eof 'Scil la Siberica, Chionodoxa LucIIiae an d the blue of the Grape Hyacinth (Muscari botryoides) , a.t leastwe have them with us for thIS yearand possibly next, but-unless we buy-them this fall we will not have themagain.Our Federal Horticultural Board has

decreed for reasons unexplainable, thatnone of the early spring bulbs, exceptCrocuses, can be imported after January 1 , 1 926.But this is not the worst of t!le news,

for the same Federa l quarant ll lc p ~ o -h ib it s t he impor ta ti on o f the entIreNarcissus family, including the, ~ a f f o -dil , a ll the large T r u m p ~ t NarClSSI, t h Jonquils, the Poet NarcIssus, the B ~ r r !and Leedsi Medium Trumpet NarCISSIand t he f or ci ng t ypes s uch as PaperWhites.This means that o f a ll t he e ar ly and

late flowering spring bulbs we canhave onl y t he Crocu s, Hyacinth andTulip. We arc s upposed t o g row t heothers commercially i!1 .this cO,untry,but it is doubtful if thiS IS practicable,So, garden neighbors, note carefu!ly

the ear ly bulbs t ha t y ou must admireand o rder t hem in June f or f all p lant ing. Thi s y ea r will be you r l as tchance and they are all perfectly hard}and multiply rapidly if the foliage ISallowed to die down a nd ripen thebulbs for the next year.Many gardeners overloo)< the p o ~ s i -

This is just the place where theearly bulbs can be grown as wel las ourown native spring flow ers such a sBloodroot s. Hepati cas , Grape Hyacinths and other woods flowers.
