'Cuttings or roses, geraniums and
similar plants may he taken.o•w. Plant-
ed in wet sand and kept well watered
and in a shaded place they will make
good roots this year. The twigs are
curt back to three or four buds, of
which two are set below the surface
of the sand. T'heseshoots will have
better chances for growth if a "heel,"
or piece of the old stack, is taken with
them.

When well grown, may be placed in
rows in the garden during August or
September, 'Space about' nine inches

ing carefully to settle the •soil, If .cul-
tivated frequently they wil grow welt
into late autumn. When frosts are
severe enough to form a crust on the
ground, cover with about three inches
of strawy litter.,Cultivate and fertil-
ise next year and, keep plants growing.

--The gro'wing of flowers from
bulbs is a simple natter, and because
bloom usually appears a few days af-
ter the last snow, this part of garden-
ing, perhaps, gives the greatest satis-
faction. A very fair show of blooms
can be ,produced by the expenditure of
a few minutes' work. As bulbs, gen-
erally speaking, grow plants with lit-
tle foliage, cluster planting is advis-
able for best effects. Where, for in-
stance, only a few tulips are to be
purchased, it' is advisable to get 'all
one calor and pl'an•t in one clump. In-
cidenta'hly,' the bulb's will cost less
when you buy then, in lots of 25 or
more olf one variety and color than
where the odder is split into half do-
zens. Most of the s'mal'ler flowers, such
as scillas, c'hiottod'oxes, crocuses and
grape hyacinths, make a very pretty
show if pl'an'ted in irregular clumps
in a lawn. ` They ` will usually be
through bloarsping before the grass
ie ready to cut • These hale
bulbs will also brighten up the soil at
the end of the s'hrulbbery, as all their
growth is made before their neigh'bors

themselves to the perennial border.

There is albsol'u'tefy no danger of

somewhat inonototrovts, rhythmic, re-

finitely, but a 'break must he made to
reduce the volume of the sample and
begin building up the finis'hed show

nel v'iil have safely reached a Hard-

than twice the volume of the final

that yell scalp the larger kernels off

This "airing" of the sample has a
tendency ,to help-ejuicken the harden-
ing of the kernels, after which- no.
time should 'be lost in getting the re-
duced'vo'lume.o'f seed back into sacks
where the reversing process can again
be safely resorted to, at least twice a
day in order to further harden the
skin and shrink the kernel.
!Caution: Judging from observation
at any major seed show, most exhibi-
tors are inclined to be over anxious.
The processing and manipulating of
beautiful seeds before the skin is in a
condition to stand it has irreparably
damaged what would otherwise have
been a winning sample. ,Do not he
too impatient its waiting until the
seeds have reached a hard "set" and
uniform state when they may be
safely manipulated in a more exacting
