K\-eiytliing is behind time, even tlie

 growth and (piality because of agi'ee;ililc 

 outdoor conditions, but now souiclmdv 

 disposes that they shall not bloom- - 

 well, if we get tell |i.m- cent at Christ iiuis 

 we shall be luck\-; ;iii<| cojil at .+ 7 |irl-

 demand for stoi l<, wliiidi is gcneial :ill

 great favor, and b'iiss(dl and Ophelia
