easily be made to display the national 

 colors. By very careful manipulation 

 several colors may be induced to stripe 

 the petals. To secure a more lasting col- 

 oring, raise some flowers very carefully 

 from the earth, put the roots and part of 

 the stems in the dye and when colored 

 replant in a pot and keep from direct 

 sunshine. Abbie J. Fayman.

[The experiment referred to is, we must admit, 

 quite interesting, especially so with the coarse- 

 stemmed calla, but it seems almost a pity to spoil 

 the natural beauty of the flower, for the color is 

 not so diffused as to look really natural ] . 



HOW TO SELECT HYACINTHS. 



Most novices at bulb culture are at a 

 loss to know which varieties to choose 

 out of the many hyacinths offered. 



I have adopted the following plan. 

 First, I decide how much money I pro- 

 pose to spend and what colors I desire, 

 then I take my bulb catalogue and study 

 the various kinds. 



For /i^k^ pink, Horma is my choice, 

 and for Hght blue, Regulus, both of which 

 have large spikes and bells, and a de- 

 lightful fragrance. I consider Regulus 

 the finest hyacinth I grow. 



Gertrude is my choice for dark pink 

 and is a free and early bloomer. 



When I have no preference in white, 

 yellow and dark blue, I select those 

 marked ' ' early ' ' and ' ' medium ' ' and 

 described as having large spikes and 

 large bells. I do not like those so well 

 that have compact spikes. 



The different kinds of Roman hyacinth 

 are all good, but I prefer the white. I 

 always order several white and plant 

 three in a six-inch pot, or more in a small 

 grape basket. Either ssr-a^y is very satis- 

 factory, those in the basket, of course, 

 producing a greater mass of bloom.

[The varieties of hyacinths you mention are ?.ll 

 first-class. Fortunately the better sorts are easier 

 for the importer to obtain generally than the poorer 

 ones. The colored Roman hyacinths are really 

 small Dutch hyacinths, or " Dutch Romans " ] . 



To Cure 

 Drunkards. 



A Simple Way to Cure any Drunkard 

 Against His Will. 



By using the new odorless and tasteless remedy 

 which is placed in the coffee or food any drunkard 

 can be cured. Anyone can use it without the 

 drunkard ever knowing it. It does its work so

silently and surely that while the devoted wife, sis- 

 ter, daughter or mother looks on, the drunkard is 

 cured even against his will. 



Every person who has a loved one who is a slave 

 to drinic ought to give them this remedy at once. 



Mrs. Samuel Boyd says: "With Golden Specific 

 I cured my husband of drinking. I put it in his 

 coffee and after that he could not drink liquor or 

 bear to be where he could smell it."
