FORCED SNOWDROPS. 



Snowdrops are forced by English 

 growers in late winter by lifting 

 clumps from the borders, setting thick- 

 ly in shallow boxes, the bulbs just 

 covered with soil, and placing in gen- 

 tle heat. After the flowers are gath- 

 ered and the contents of the boxes re- 

 hardened, they are returned to the 

 ground, where they remain undis- 

 turbed at least two years before being 

 again forced. 



HARTFORD, CONN. — A la^- has 

 been passed by the legislature for the 

 protection of the trailing arbutus. This 

 is the first law passed b.v any legisla- 

 ture in the Union for the protection of 

 a wild flower. The occasion for the 

 law is the practice of people in tear- 

 ing the plant up by the roots instead 

 of merely cutting the flowers, as tbs 

 result of which there was danger that 

 it would become extinct in the .state. 

 Massachusetts is agitating for a simi- 

 lar law.
