the two witnesses of the will and the law
yer who had prepared 1t, TO testify TO the
eenuineness of the signature, the jury

Good Flowers for Manses of Color.
Nowadays brilliant show of color
in flower beds is popular. Many of our
most beautiful flowers are unsatisfac-
tory for massing for this purpose.
One of the best is the California poppy.
This Is of an extremely rich shade of
yellow, and masses of it produce a
most dazzling effect. Another good
plant for massing is Phlox Drum
mondii. To secure the most satisfac-
tory results with it SOW each color by
itself or in such a manner as to secure
color contrast without the bizarre eff
fects resulting from the use of mixed
seed. The white. rose and pale yellow
sorts are very fine. The petunia is a
