he is obliged at the same time to sacrifice
number of buds. To avoid this inconveni-
ence it is as we'll to tie the branches in q
horizontal position. The result of this OPP

push flower stems, which are, for the most
part, terminated by single flower. M.

cook stove is, she says, an unscientific,
wasteful, back breaking institution. He1

than the square concern now III vogue. It
stands on high legs SO as to be reachable
