o Glad Bulbs Do Okay in Basement
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaking Editor
It this isn’t gardening and
flower planting time, I don’t
know what is. Did you order some
new glad bulbs this year, and
are you going to try some pan
sies?
o This year, early in January, I
was horrified to discover that
some of my glad bulbs were
growing in the basement. They
kept okay the winter before, but
it seems that our basement is just
a wee bit warmer than is good
for bulbs. I do hope I Wqp’t lose
a lot of glad bulbs because of
o this. I have quite a little cash
tied up in my bulbs, as I bought
some rather expensive ones the
year before and also bought some
corms of some others that were
so expensive I didn’t think I could
afford the bulbs.
The corms grew into bulb
sizes that will bloom this year
**nd I’d hate to lose any of those.
o
I did order a couple of dozen
'more Spic and Span bultfe so I
could have enough of one color
for flower arrangements of one
color. This is such a beautiful
pink anyway, the flowers so clean
cuf and they wiL take more than
° lots of other glad bulbs.
An idea for a gift for kids to
give their mothers for mother’s
day is a potted pansy, double pe
tunia or even a geranium. These
do not cost a forune and mom
will enjoy them a lot in time to
come, and she can reset them in
the yard a bit later if she wishes.

Kites, Marbles
Sore Signs— o
Dear Mrs. Pease:
Now that the long evenings and
short days are over, maybe we
can get all of our extra work
3 done before summer really gets
here. We see new evidence of it
every day.
The marbles and kites are out—
sure signs of spring. The robins
are here chirping their songs and
making themselves very much at
home. And our cold, grey clouds
are turning to deep blue with
white thunderheads floating by.
We have had one trace of rain
that just barely settled the dust,
but weathermen say more is on
the way.
And another sign of spring at
our house was a mess of newly
dug parsnips for dinner. We par
boiled then fried them. That
is our favorite way of preparing
parsnips. We would like to have
enough left to put some in the
deep freeze, and we plan to plant
another nice, long row this spring.
We have the planting fever for
everything, and it won’t be long
before the garden seed box will
be brought up from the basement
and we can see what we are
short of, for we save flower seeds
as well as some garden seeds.
I have had lots of visions of
the new garden and have been
making great plans in my day
dreams.
Some new strawberry plants
will be set out and we are anx
ious to see what the new bed
from last year will do. They
are 4 lot of work, but we do
enjoy the fruit more than any
other fruit.
The long winter has not been
so long after all, for most of the
sewing has been caught up, some
embroidering done. We are three
pairs of pillowcases and a stack
of dishtowels ahead. And winter
time is when we catch up on our
reading, too. Stacks of farm pa
pers have been saved especially
for the long evenings, and we
l
found time for a few good books,
too.
So while the menfolks were
talking about the fields that will
get planted to vetch, oats, corn
and alfalfa, I did some house
cleaning while there was a little
time left, for when the garden
and yard work starts the house is
neglected at our place.
I have so many things I want
to try this season, move a rose
bush, start some more new ones
by putting branches down on the
ground and covering them with
dirt, leaving the ends stick out,
getting some more gladiola bulbs,
and would like to try some new
type cannas. Am anxious to see
what the new peonies will do for
they got frost bitten last year.
We enjoy reading your column
in which you told about your new
home. It’s nice that you have
things handy, for you are a busy
person. And I always enjoy your
telling about the different kinds of
iris. We have some of the new
hybreds, too, but we don’t know
their names.
To me most any kind of a
flower is beautiful after the long
winter months. We do appreci
ate the iris for decoration day.
They are nice. It’s amazing how
all the different colors can be
put Into the different shaped
petals, and produce a gorgeous
blossom.
We have a lot of little pansy
violets that were the last to give
in to Jack frost, and they are al
ready greening up getting ready
to get going soon.
These lines are getting long,
and I could ramble on all day
when I get to talking about the
garden and flowers, its afi a lot
garden and flowers. It’s all a lot
of work but it’s one of my
hobbies.

It’s a funny thing but for
every inch of progress accom
plished in a state, city or town, it
seems there is always someone to
fight it. For many people, what
was good enough for their fathers
is plenty good enough for their
grandchildren — even though
times change very rapidly. Lots
of people are still back in the oil
lamp era because they want to be
not because they have to be.

Mrs. Goldfuss and daughter,

German Immigrant
at 93d Milestone
BY MRS. N. D. ICKES, SR.
The Frontier’s Feature Writer
This is the story about a Ger
man immigrant and a longtime
resident of Holt county who last
week celebrated her 93rd birth
day anniversary.
Mrs. Agnes Hanoi Goldfuss,
was born April 23, 1802, at
Heinzedorf, Germany. She came
to Atkinson in 1885 and was mar
ried to Frank Goldfuss shortly
after her arrival in America.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldfuss became
the parents of 11 children:
George, Mrs. Conrad (Martha)
Vincent, Oswald, Rosalie, Frank,
Mrs. Stanley (Clara) Peters,
Mrs. John (Margaret) Cotton,
Paul, Mrs. Hugh (Kate) O’Con
nor.
Max and John are deceased.
Kate and Rosalie were twin
daughters. Mr. Goldfuss died in
1909.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldfuss lived
on their timber claim north of
Atkinson where the children
were born and reared. Mrs. Gold
fuss continued to live there after
his death until about 1920, when
she moved into Atkinson, she and
her danghter, Rosalie, now make
their home in Atkinson.
Mrs. Goldfuss has been pos
sessed of remarkebly good health.
Her eyes have been so good that
she could do crocheting and other
needle work until several years
ago and has never worn glasses.
By a strange coincidence, Ag
nes Hanel often sat on the knee
of the man whose wife she be
came twenty five years later in
America. He was her senior by
18 years.
There are 30 grandchildren
and it is impossible to account
for the number of widely scat
tered great-grandchildren on a
moment’s notice.
On Friday, April 23, her son,
Oswald and his wife took his
mother out for dinner in cele
bration of her anniversary. - Mrs.
George Goldfuss and Oswald
sister, Rosalie, were also dinner
guests.
