and northwestern Bussia shows that on 

 account of the difference in time of 

 ripening it is impossible to harvest seed 

 of cultivated forms of spring vetch and 

 hairy vetch together, the former being 

 used as an adulterant. The Vicia villosa 

 seed originating in the Baltic provinces 

 occurs as a volunteer in winter rye and 

 is separated as cleanings from the rye. ' '

Many a man is just about now 

 having his good disposition massaged 

 by the ,lady with the French heels 

 because of the overdone Christmas 

 racket. In the olden days a man 

 looked forward to Xmas as a time 

 of good cheer, but of late years the 

 strain on his pocketbook has been so 

 great that it has overbalanced the 

 good cheer. He has come to dread 

 the date. People of late give pres- 

 ents they cannot afford, and the reci- 

 procity feeling has made it a hard- 

 ship on others. Some people give 

 presents to get presents, and, on the 

 whole, it is certainly being greatly 

 overdone. Now a good way to over- 

 come this excessive giving is to give 

 flowers. Just a few will do — enough 

 to show a true regard for your 

 friends and acquaintances, and at the 

 same time not stare them in the face 

 forever, to remind them of their duty 

 to you another year. There is noth- 

 ing more appropriate, and nothing 

 more beautiful to demonstrate the 

 right feeling at Xmas time. A pot 

 of Xmas lilies is especially fine, or a 

 medium size Azalea. Florists do 

 well to advertise flowers, especially 

 for Xmas — boost the business. Horse- 

 shoe Brand Lily bulbs and Azaleas 

 will give the florist good ground to 

 work on, and if you are not prepared 

 this year, see that you are in 1912. 

 Order early. Send for catalogue — 

 it will be ready soon.
