iiietimes does us service here. A 

 'lid wreath bears more resemblance to 

 eart wheel than it does to a wreath, 

 "d a basket filled solidly is more like 

 pincushion than a receptacle for 

 wly cut flowers. 



With this chapter of definitions as an 

 I reduction, I hope to present the de- 

 'Is of my subject in later issues of

TEAGACANTH AS A PASTE. 



In recent issues of The Beview sev- 

 - al inquiries and suggestions have ap- 

 1 oared with regard to pastes for at- 

 taching labels. For twenty years I 

 ' ive used paste and, after experiment- 

 ing with about every known thing used 

 'Or the purpose, I have found traga- 

 •"anth the best, cheapest, cleanest, 

 whitest, nearest odorless and easiest to 

 ^f^cure and prepare. It can be got at 

 iny drug store and 5 or 10 cents' 

 ^orth will make up enough to fill a 

 Sood sized paste jar. 



To prepare, put the tragacanth in 

 the jar, add enough water to cover, al- 

 'ow to stand over night and then add 



sufficient water to bring the paste to 

 the proper consistency. If you wish, 

 you may add a few drops of oil of 

 cloves, which will give it what I term 

 a clean odor. Howard Gardner.
