It is now time to make select
ions of spring flowering bulbs.
Plant them any time in Sept
ember, October or November.
Choose from many kinds, including
® tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths
and Dutch iris. There are many
varieties of these and a wide range
of colors to suit the fancy of any
gardener. By selecting varieties
you may also extend the blooming
season over a period of several
weeks.
In sandy or loose soils bulbs may
be planted a little deeper than in
tight clay soils. Daffodils (narcissi)
should be planted six to seven
inches deep in sandy loam soils,
tulips and Dutch iris about five
inches deep, hyacinths about six
inches, and crocus two inches deep.
Use any good garden fertilizer. Put
it into the soil where the bulbs are
to be planted, but don’t let it come
into contact with the bulbs.
There are many different types
of narcissi - commonly called daf
fodils or jonquils. The true jonquil
usually has s&all flowers, often
several to the stem, and they are
What To Pack For College
“What to pack for college?” is a,
question needling thousands of
students preparing to step over
the threshold of higher learning
this fall.
Eager to put their best foot
forward,' yet not sure which is
their best foot, the slon-to-be col
lege freshmen of both sexes often
pack and repack a hundred times.
A few suggestions will help the
excited but perplexed and bewild
ered “frosh” not only in his aim to
strut on the campus with the
ease of a senior, but to ably meet
the responsibilities of being “on
your own.”
First, let’s look at the ward
robe. It’s not a question of “Shall
I stock up on Bermuda shorts be
cause I have nice legs.” Nor is it
a question of “Do I look better in
elacka or Levi’s?" The question is

usually very fragrant.
There are several types of daf
fodils; some with short trumpets
and others with large trumpets.
Some of the trumpets are a bril
liant orange-red, some white, and
some yellow. These go along with
white or yellow petals. Os the large
flowered daffodils, King Alfred,
Golden Harvest, Duke of Windsor,
Tunis, Fortune, John Evelyn, Texas
and Twink are interesting double
flowers; and Mrs. R. O. Backhouse
is the famous pink-flowered var
iety.
Dutch iris should be planted in
September or October. The leaves
will appear before winter sets in,
but this is natural so do not be
alarmed. They will withstand our
winters with very little damage.
Crocuses should be planted more
generally. They give a cheerful spot
of color in late winter or early
spring. Madonrfa or ascension lilies
should be planted, in September.
The depth of planting is very im
portant. Madonna lilies should be
planted only about two to three
inches deep, whereas most other
lilies are planted much deeper.
J tending and where is it located?"
It jjs true that Levi’s are basic
at a Western college and Bermu
da shorts are worn to class at some
small midwest campuses. But
; what is worn in class or on the
campus, for dates and for loaf
ing, defends on what’s accepted
at the particular school. Gener
ally speaking', the more Informal
wear that is accepted at a small
school is frowned on by large
city schools.
One standard that goes from
coast to coast is, for girls: skirts,
sweaters and jackets.
A special hint for the distaff
side: You won’t need more than
one or two formal gowns at the
most. Exchanging among the
girls is a custom a(, most schools,
