RIBBONS Exceptional Prices

This is essentially a Ribbon year-Rbbons are to be worn for every
possible purpose by children and by gownups. Ordinarily that would
mean that Ribbons should bring good prces-hgh prices when the increase
in the cost of the raw material is considered.
All the more notable, therefore, is this offering of Ribbons at prices far
below the regular. All sorts are represented, there is complete variety
of choice and with every selection there is a price saving. Here are
instances:

sizes for Clover Pots.

An error very frequently made in re-
potting palms and other ornamental
plants Is in transferring them into pots
entirely too large in comparison with
the one last used, says the Woman's
Home Companion. The sizes of differ
ent pots are calculated by inches. The
smallest pot in use is commonly called
by the florist n ''thumb-pot," and meas
ures about one and one-half inches in
diameter at the top. Into this be pots
many of his newly rooted cuttings, and
as soon rs they ill the soil pretty well
with roots he shifts them TO the next
size. a two-inch pot From this they
increase. by half inches. and it is al
ways well TO use the next size above
that last used.
After the plant has attained such pro-
portions that it requires scmething
larger than nine or ten inch pot. it is
better TO use 4 tub. and just here is
where the mistake is often made. A
much larger tub or pot than a plant
really requires often retards rather
than advances its growth. very often

does not seem TO be doing wen. win re-

Some Giants that Grow at the Foot of

Near Stuart, Va, at the foot of a

nine feet and five inches around, says
the Philadelphia Record. Five feet
from the ground are four branches, the
largest being six feet around, the next
) feet inches, the next 5 feet, the
smallest 4 feet inches. The tree is
fifty-two feet high and seventy-one
feet broad. Although it is about 20
years old, it bore this year a very large
crop. 1t has been known to produce
10 bushels in season, and, as might
be supposed the soil in which it grows
is exceedingly rich.
On a neighhoring farm there is an
apple tree which is feet ; inches
around In 1880 eighty-five bushels OF
nice picked apples were gathered from
it and sold at the apple house for $50.
The tree is 10 years old and is still
bearing.
Two miles from Stuart on the farm
of ]. w. Robertson. stands the famous
Robertson apple tree, the parent of al
the apple trees of that name in the
United States. 1t bears a large red
apple, which keeps well, and it has
produced at one bearing eighty-five
bushels, is about so years old, and is
still in bearing.
A few years ago there was on farm
near Stuart an apple tree which pro
duced at one bearing 100 bushels. II
