Remember the bedtime story about ‘The Fairy’s Tulips’?
The solitary lady with the ‘magical’ garden was an avid birdwatcher. In the twilight of one evening, she noticed something fluttering in her periphery and thought it may be a bird. However, to her surprise, “nside the black centre, circled by yellow powder from the stamens, was a sleeping fairy baby, about the size of a penny” .
Just like this folktale, tulips, being one of the first flowers to appear in spring, drew a noticeable amount of attention from our local newspaper throughout the years. Two columns that shared information about the maintenance of the spring flower were ‘Today’s Garden-Graph’ and ‘Gardening in Algoma.’
‘Today’s Garden-Graph’ was a column supplied by the Central Press Association and written by Dean Halliday. In this series of columns, Halliday reviewed best practices for planting tulip bulbs and how to avoid some of the issues that may arise. One such issue that was discussed in the September 07, 1948, issue of the Sault Star, was called ‘Tulip Fire,’ which is categorized by “leaves and flowers spotted and ‘burned’ in appearance, and the bloom often completely destroyed” .
The majority of Halliday’s ‘Today’s Garden-Graph’ columns were accompanied by a diagram to display the concepts or tulip varieties that were discussed.
