C., TUESDAY, FEB. 28, 1939 CURB REPORTER Mystery still inhabits the office of Avant Electric Co.

Some of the wild tulips are also very early, and most of the dwarf daffodils are now in bud. These are all lovely for the sheltered rockgarden, where they can bloom along with the choicer and less encroaching forms so Phlox subulata, more generally known in the South as “thrift”.
