 easily located almost anywhere. The 

 largo, cultivated kinds are luautifnl witii

 an exhibit uhicli shall include many of 

 the grass family, the above as well as 

 our native cereals, pampas grass, lilibdn 

 grass, etc. Arrange on a matting back-

 wild roses or other fitdd ilowcrs. An-

 This plan is good for a combinatidn seed

 brought excellent selling results. .V jiile

 Dutch boy in OAcralls and blouse, with ;i 

 spade, lie stood in the act df digging 

 in the soil, g(,'tting ready to ]dant the 

 bulbs. The Dutch boy grew tn l>e ipiite

 made his appearance again, <oice jiicK 

 ing cotton, and again dimbiiiL; a fence 

 with his arms full of tlowcrs tn whi( h 

 he had just Indped himself in a \ciy in 

 formal manner. The ]iracti<-e nf iiitrd

 ligure, however, sliduld be indulged at
