A COUNTRY GARDEN

MY IIYALINTII 1 have a hyacinth in bloom. xu beauty helps each passing n :

The fgrlfgrsme of its sweet perfume, Hath itself a wondrous power.

1 planted it. I naked blub.

Not long ago beneath the sod; Day after day I watered it, And left the rest with God.

And He hath given to me a flower. Blue as the skies in Heaven above, An emblem of its Maker's power. A tribute to His living love.

1 gain upon this gift divine. which glorifles my simple room. Breathing my thanks that it is

mine,

This hyacinth in fragrant bloom. C. Partridge.

l-lyscinths and Daffodils are blooming from bulbs planted in October and November in a great hurry in the Fall rush. and now 1 am very thankful that an effort was made. so that this beauty and fragrance is here on a winter day. Bulbs make a winter long de- light indoors and add their good cheer to dispel the dreariness of long winter days. A few pots blooming on the window sill or in the winter window-garden will change the whole atmosphere of lhe room. and this morning whue in-iting hers I notice a beautiful gragrant Iris in bloom! it is in the lovely shade of dark pu le with bright orange crest and t is a the color of he African Violet nearby in the w ow facing south under the eaves where I am writ- ing. It is the violet fragrance of :his Iris that I love and the price is so low for these bulbs, a little more than a postage stamp, so anyone can plant a few for win- ter days for beauty and fragrance.

Winter brings more than thick- ened blood it brings A need to warm the winter in the

With dreams of rich and most ir- relevant things:

All drowsy-drunken; or dim pen- 5'

Of distant rain; or sudden thunder showers

That stab at hills with crooked, savage beaks:

or. after rain, the odor of drench- ed flowers.

In January it is wonderful to walk into a garden house or a greenhouse as it is moral often called. and last week I spent a happy morning over at the Mem- orial Nursery.

Fragrant Lilies and Oleanders were blooming. also beautiful Asa- lsas and Oamellias Large tube were filled with wonderful Orange and Lemon shrubs which were fragrant with blossom and fruits. Lemons were very large, measur- ing eleven and at half inches in circumference and four and s. half inches long. some were ripe and yellow. others were green. The orange tree ad fragrant blossoms and thirty-s oranges some ripe and some green.

Many Amsryills and Cyclamen were making good growth and Ivles. Ferns. Hyaclnths, Geran- iums and Begonias made it a bright and colorful room although it was a cloudy. snowy day out- doors.

Every time I visit thisgnursery and hear of all who are making use of the many bulbs. plsn shrubs and trees I think how for- tunate we are on this Island to have a Memorial Nursery.

If you would like to share in all the nursery stock available. send at once for the list which is ready now and sea the great quantity and variety of plants listed, The Superintendent tells me that "There are many beautiful shrubs and plants which will winter here that we never knew would stand our winter seasons." and for sev- eral yesrs English Box and Tree Peonlea. many varieties of An- leas and Rhododsndrons have been wintered in the Nursery Gardens.

Experiments are being conducted

all year on rare shrubs and trees. If our climate continues to be mild. perhaps we will have good gardens for many months in the ear? Next week I shall tell you of the heather at the Nursery, as Burns birthday is being celebrated on that day.

In the spring Price List of the Nursery there are over a nun- dred varietlea of Roses. and hun- dreds oi trees and shrubs, includ- ing frult trees and small fruits. Gledioli and Dahllas are also list- ed. all at the lowest prices.

The other man is her inferior and has been married twice. He owns no property and is deeply in debt He can't hold a Job. and owes h present employment to Madge's husband.

Two Pursue An Illusion.

DEAR. H. L.: Well, what- can one say, at second or third hand, to stay a fool from his (or her) folly? Especially when it is a. case of middle-aged madness. to use the classical label for the condi- tion. It is a. condition of wanting to escape the battered routine that one: life has become. and return to the springtime of hops - to the adolescent season of loving oneself romantically, through the extravagant praise of g dazzled admirer.

It is my surmise that Madgels suitor, let's call him Harry, is im- pressed with her status as her husband's spouse. and in this spirit launched the first specific gal- lantrlcs that kindled the flirtation. No doubt her social setting and possessions suggest the prosperity and prestige that her husband warships and spends his time pur- suing. And inasmuch as Harry is a. failure along this line, he prob- ably finds comfort (unconsciously) in being closely identified with exemplars of worldly success.

As Madge's husband is Harry's job-patron at present. Harry looks up to him, I suppose, and at the same time may resent the differ- ence in their respective fortunes. in that state of mind, to find himself romantically acceptable to his patron's wife gives him a kick of ego-satisfaction. perhaps. and smboldens him to court hsr preference intensively -- on the unconscious theory that his ro- mantic top-rating with her really makes him superior to her hus- band. in the field of men.

Poised On Rim of Irylng Pan

Poor Madge. in her timidity and dependency. dissatisfied with her situation and totally unprepared to be self-reliant. may likewise re- sent her husband's dominance and detachment in their relationship. hence thrill to the young man's disposition to tr-at her as I. per- son of importance. having pre-

If she and Harry are currently involved in a raging infatuation, your efforts to influence their ac- tions arg probably futile. it is a psychological truism that the voice of reason. or common sense. us- ually gets no hearing. at the height of emotional stress.

Have you some letters to mail?" "Would you mind this kitten for me?” Mack asked appearing later at the door. "Just until her paws get warm. She's been walking on the snow." l-fie arms cradled the sleek black of a favorite. "She's a nice kitten” he said putting her down inside the threshold. "In fact" he nodded "I don't believe I ever had one any nicer . . .

There he helps the farmers give the day's feed of roots to the cat- tle. It is a chore with some last to it. not so much from the number of animals that receive them as from the care given the work.

"I Just throw them round into the mangers-and if they eat them, they do, and if they don't, they don't: theyre there for them- thst's all I know" we once over- heard a farmer tell James. And James smiled without mirth and

If one happens to es- cape from the manger. is it. allow- ed to lie useless there? James or the younger farmer would walk a distance to retrieve the like, to re- turn it to the place where it would do the most good.

"If instead of feeding the sheep round turnips-oh, I know they will eat them that way, after a fashion-you'd chop them . . . not too fine, you know, but then not too coarse" he commented to Jamie not long ago. "you'd be amazed what the little extra fussing will do for them. it wouldn't be much of a chore and you would find yourself well repaid for your time. I nevc-r.count,any time spent that way, lost.

"And never mind that hockey" he has said to Gage "Put away that stick and get the round of the handle of s. pitch-fork in your hands; come and help with the feeding and learn -to be a good fsrmerl"

This afternoon a west wind took the farmers to their woodwork. Mack too. to catch lovely rides on the sleigh-loads drawn home to the yards.
