They now. have four acre in tu- lps, of whlca there are 85 vane- ties and four acres in daffodils, of Innumerable varieties. Some of their choicest strains of tulips are descendants. of bulbs which came from Holland sis years ago. 1 The Franklin's sell a good many blossoms locally but nerer strip the plants as this injures the vitality of the bulb and their tulips and daffodils are raised chiefly for the bulb market.

The Franklins state that buyers often say on '- examining their bulbs that they cannot use the first grade as it is too large to of fer on the market with, bulbs of their own raising. Propogatlng tulips is a fascinat ing occupation. , Mr. Franklin has one especially choice and beautiful variety which he has been tender ly caring for five years and this spring for the first time he had enough of them to exhibit at the flower show.

In Siberia. la Kash mir and in Syria aa well as in many of our own states. Califor nia has given us the lovely scar let Nudicaule. A single bine one found on the banks of the Abi qua near Silrerton has attracted the attention of some delphinium enthusiasts. Some Sllverfon gard eners have secured some ot these for their own gardens and report that they are doing well. Del phiniums were hybridized as ear ly as 1890 when Kelway and Sons of Langport. England, be gan their experiments with them By saying that delphiniums are modern, I simply mean that they will repay you measure for measure for the treatment you give them. Ton cannot deceive them as you can the ' iris. They do not fade away and die as do the lilies when they get unlook- ed for attention. Attention, If It is the right sort, is what del phiniums thrive on. history of delphinium growing In our country, the name of Charles F. Barber spells. "Delphinium,1 and his home, Hoodacres," near Troutdale, may be translated in to "ueipMniumiand." ir you see Hoodacres in the full glory of its blooming season, you would al most say it spelled "Fairyland.1 for the picture created by the acres of blue and. white spikes some reaching- five and six feet into the air. with their back ground of Mount Hood does have an ethereal appearance. . . Mr. Barber gave me to under stand that delphiniums are- hard workers and, like other hard workers, must have a good home where .they - can . rest ! and , get proper nourishment. If they are neglected the unhappy plants weaken, tarn, yellow; and with a "dust to dust" expression . are gone to return no more. But with proper home and good nourish ment they become hardy; work ing two, and occasionally, three shifts in- one season. . Mr. Barber further : Insisted that it yon want to grow del phiniums successfully, ft is ab solutely necessary to get ac quainted with a spade and all of Its uses. Delphiniums like a sandy - loam and plenty , of , sun shine. It your delphinium bed is to be permanent, do not merely stir up the surface ot, the soil. Two feet down is not too deep to dig. If your drainage is not of the very best, throw fa a little gravel and cover this with a good layer ot old sods or barnyard ma nureIf it Is well decayed. ' If you can, tin tn some leaf mold. According to Mr. Barber, leaf mold Is the natural food of del phiniums. . " - ' l Seedllngs that have been start-, ed the previous late summer or autumn, should be reset in April. They should' be placed two feet apart each way and the crown planted two inches below the sur face of the soil and covered with sand. Delphiniums may be slipp ed in late March or early April. In slipping them, break oft new shoots when they are but a few Inches high and root them as ge raniums are rooted. Mr. Barber . advises against barnyard manure unless it is .very well decayed.. Bonemeal is one of the best fertilizers for the del phinium. He advises a top dress ing of this twice a year, a small trowelful around each plant in the spring and again In -the sum mer when the second growth ap pears. He also advises - against deep cultivation close to delphin iums In growls g season. Sawdust and leaf mold are good to use about the planta. ? . When delphiniums have finish ed, their first blooming season the withered flowers should be cut off and the stalks left until the new ones show apt, then the old stalks may be cat off next to tha ground. . 8 BI33B 1 m Tomorrow TT TH E IB D TTE-KITI , Tuesday and Wednesday 0 o UNION and HIGH STREETS 10 A.
