most adults and was tempted to make
use of this power in treating headaches
and other minor Ills. His experience
was. however, that the operation tended
to weaken the will of the patient, leav-

TIE Time for Planting Balbs.

There is no definite rule to be laid down
as to the length of time III which bulbs
should be left in cold storage. AS a gen
eral thing, top-growth will not begin un-
til root-growth is completed. This nearly
always takes from six weeks to two
months. 1t is therefore generally safe
to begin bringing Octoher-p!anted bulbs
to the living-room in December. Those
desired for later Towering can be left in
cold storage. where they will remain
dormant as to top-growth- BY bringing
bulbs to light and warmth at intervals of
4 week or ten DAYS we secure 4 success

Tor us to brighten our windows with
