obituary -
Notices are out announcing the de.
mise of an old and respected resident
of Exeter, in the person of Mr. Geo.
Willis , who departed this life at his
residence in Detroit. Mich., on Tuesday
the 10th iuet., Mr. Willis has been ill
for the past twelve months and finally
succumbed to paralysis of the Innes.
His remains are expected here to -day
and the funeral will leave his sister's
(Mrs. Geo. Ecarett) residence Main St.,
Frida y(To-morrow) at 2 p. m. for the
Exeter Cemetry. The bereaved family
and relatives haye our sympathy in
their sad affliction,
The Flower Garden.
As soon as the weather gets a little
milder, look out for snowdrops, crocus•
es, winter aconite, Siberian squills and
tether very early growing plants, and
if there is a thick mulching of leaves,
litter or other material, remove it, a
little to day and a little more in two or
three days. If you let these little
plants force their way up through the
mulching to the light, their leaves and
stems will be blanched, spindled and
weakened, hence their beauty and
value will be greatly impaired. But
if you remove the mulcting all at
once, if the plants are, growing above
ground, they will badly scald by sun-
shine, wind and frost. Also haye an
eye after early growing narcissi and
crown imperiols in the same way. Mul-
ching bulb beds is all very good in
winter, but leaving the mulching un
till the bulbs begin to grew above the
ground is a Serious evil. It is now
you will find the value of spruce, fir,
pine and other evergreen branches laid
over the bulb beds as a mulching, in-
stead of a thick coating of tree leaves
or coarse liquor; the evergreen branch
es hold the snow—the best of all mulch-
ings--and admit light and air, and at
the same time protect the tips of the
plants from sunshine and searing
winds.
