MORE ABOUT PAPER WHITES. 



I read witli interest the question and 

 answer about idd Taper White bulbs in 

 the .l.aiiuary L'7 issue of The Heview. 



Let iri<- write a few lines abiput an 

 exporiineiit of mine. In I'.Us I jil.ante.I 



I'apcv Whites on ll IT side of a ear 



Il.ation beiiidi, two bulbs (dose toerther 

 at tile end of e.aidi eross row. In win 

 ter oiil\ the llowers were eul. The 

 lea\es Were left standiiie. whicdi in liim 

 dried (dl. A- this beinh w.as emptied 

 in June the ne\t _\ear. 1 found the bulbs 

 well rifielied. Tliey were repl.antiil in 

 fall. It to(d; these bulb.- lonec.)- to eonie 

 into bloom. The tlowei'v Wore .^oniewh.at 

 sm.allei. but I thimeht it worth while 

 to plant all my bulbs thl~ \\:i\- Last yi'.ar. 

 I h;i\e now bulbs in bloom th.al .aie '_' 

 ami .'. ye.ars old, whiili .are not kepi 

 Sep. irate, and T lia\e md found an\

WHAT WILL SEEDS PRODUCE? 



I s.aw in The He\ iew for .l.anuary -*' 

 .another small mention of llow.anl \- 

 Smith's iiew .aster, I'eaidi Hlossom. I 

 ha\e been uiurh interested. Tlfis year 1 

 had se\en plants of the (.'re>^d type, but 

 of disl iiict l_\' difl'erent cidor and iiou- 

 l.aler.al. .M\' stems wi'ic .about tit'leeii 

 iuidies lone and nearly e\cry blooni 

 me;isured li\e inches .across .and was 

 .almost white when openiiie-, turnin;^ to 

 l.a \ ender jiiiik with aee. They were per- 

 fect kee])ers. one being placed in water 

 :ind kept f(.ir two weeks with no special 

 care. 'I'hey were miiidi .admired by vis- 

 itors as Well .as by our-.id\i's. I saved 

 .all seeils .and .a in womb rin;; just what 

 will come from the new .-lock. 1 know 

 wh.at Ihe blooiiis are, but will thev be 

 rionl.ater.al the iievi pl.intinii.' 



Mrs. MMtle Hall. 



found him uniadiable. Sima' tlieii I liavo 

 iie\er been .-ible es'eii to gtd all answer 

 to my bdleis, aftc^r accepting his own 

 lit;uie of onetliiial the original amount. 



1 have found since ,a llorist, who is 

 now wmkinu for me, whom this same 

 deadbeal stung .a few \e.ars ago on 

 LM'raiiiums. He orilered a shipment \>y 

 wire, s.aying he was sending his (dieid\ 

 that d.ay. The e,.|-aniiiins were sent, 

 and .another wire w.as rcia'ived saying 

 they arrived in ^ood sh.ape and to ilii 

 plicate the order, as he was mailing a 

 (dieidi for the entile lot. To this tlay 

 hi' li;is received Just .+ 1 b on the entire 

 older, .•ind that tliianigh ;i lawyer. This 

 deadbeal has a large range und built 

 :• new greeiihoiise last suinnier, but it is 

 iinpossible to collect even through at- 

 torneys and collecting ;igencies. 



He i- one who has been ojieratiug a 

 business ill ,'1 crooked way for years and 

 will laiiitiuue to do so until We have a 

 i-redil .'issori,'! 1 ion to bhudxlist him so 

 he will not be able to purchase stoidi 

 without p.aving cash. llowa'ver, he is 

 not the only one (aiiidiicting business 

 in suidi .a m.imier. There ari' seva^ral 

 otliei> I know t>t\ who are supposed to 

 lie .•ibour all right in the trade, but wli.o 

 .are n. g. when it comes to paying^ills. 

 They .-ire ijev i r elloneli to telephone 

 their orders or telegra|ili them, so ;is 

 to keep them out of the mail. 



There .'ire others who ;ire perfect I v re 

 liable .'11111 .'ible to p;iy for their ydiuls, 

 but jiut it idf with the thought, "What 

 is the hiirrv .' 1 .-iin good for it any 

 time.'' However, that does not help the 

 other man to pay his 1)111.^. A blai'k list 

 ]iiildished every month or so would help 

 .'i gre;it deal, and also s;ive m.'inv dollars 

 for brother lloi'ists.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP. 



1 most he;irlily .-ii^i.^e with the article 

 written by .Mr-. Annie ( t. l|ow:ird, ap

 be L;reatly appiecialed, ex'rept, of course, 

 bv tlio-.e w ho-e names would .-ippe.'ir 

 'hereon. It sriiii- certain tli;il no lion 



e-t llorist would be .'iflaid lo h.-ive such 

 a credit list established. 



I h.'id one evpi'i-ieiice with a mall who, 



if bl.'icklisted, would not be able 



to |iull the same thine a'.;.'iin on some 

 brother lr;ob'-.m;in. This per-oii drove 

 to niy -tore .-it Heiiance. n., |;ist spring, 

 a couple of weeks before Memorial dav. 

 with a truck, a distance of ll!") miles 

 from where he lived. He picked out 

 stock ,'imoUntilie to :f::U."'l. He lii.'lded 



his truck to capacity and the b.-ilam-e 

 we -.hipped by express. 



He eave us thr hei'k-, the last one

 ■aiaivcd at dest in;i t ion, he la'fiised one 

 lot. I'art of the remainder he made 



lompl.'iinl on .-i- not being wli;it 1 r 



deled, althoiieh he s.'iw the identical 

 stork .-it the time of ordering. He 

 -topped payment on his l;ist check, the 

 one due thirty d.'iy- after ]iiirchase. 

 When I wrote .•^skin^ the cause of sndi 

 action, he began rom|il;i inillLI .about the 

 -lork, ,'i- not being what he ordered. 

 .\fter thi- wrangle he roii-eiileil to p;iy 

 for .'i small .■imoiint of the l:ist shipnient, 

 wliiidi amounted to •'f^lbi. It w.a- ^."iO
