CoNNoISSEUR In SEEDS.
He Planted Some Bulbs That Turned
Out to De Bearing Balls
for n Bicycle.

II have a,good joke on myself" said the.
business man whose hobby is agriculture,
says the Detroit Free Press. my mind has.
always had a particular preference for seeds.
and roots, and / never miss an opportunity
to indulge this fancy. Some time ago. in
looking through an old tool box, came
across several peculiar looking seeds that at
once aroused my interest. They were a lit
tie different from anything that / had dis
covered during my Horticultural and agricu-
tural experience, and l decided to plant
them and see what the product would be.
Well, L did so, and for weeks / waited to
see the strange fruit, flower or vegetable
plant make an appearance, carefully nur-
turing the soil, and giving my pet bulbs the
closest attention.
Discouraged at length at their failure to
part the soil and spring into life, l dug them
up, and what do you suppose was the dis
covery that l made? Why, that my inter-
esting and peculiar bulbs were nothing more
nor less than those little bicycle balls that
are an important part of the steel steed's
mechanism. They had been laid away in the
toolboN, and their size and rusted appearance
made them resemble seeds My wife and
some of my intimate friends seem to think
there is no excuse for such ludicrous thing
to happen to a man that has made study
of plants and bulbs, and they are never done
chatting me and asking me when l expect
to gather my crop of bicycles"
