FLOWER AND TREE,

There is pink variety of lily of the
valley which is often grown in Eng
land, though seldom seen with US.
A palm tree which grows on the
banks of the Amazon has leaves thirty
to fifty feet in length and ten to twelve
feet in breadth.
Standard and "stand by plants and
varieties should be the rule of the be-
ginner. Experiment with new flowers
and varieties only in small way.
Study color effects if you would have
a really beautiful garden. The lowell
est colors often neutralize each other
sadly. Clear reds and magentas, for
instance. should not be close neigh
tors.
Know the plants as you would peo-
pie if you would have them respond

The first house he came to was sa-

He had no money, but went in anyhow
to see what he could do. The proprie-

"Well, what will you have?'
He said, 'I'l take a little whisky"
and then, turning to the dog, he asked:
"What will you have"
The answer came very promptly:

The German was SO surprised he al

"What did you say?"
The dog replied:
II said a ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that a dog
should be able to talk and asked who
had trained him, how long it had taken,
etc, and wound up with:
How much you take for him?''
"Oh,'' said Mr. Ventriloquist, II
wouldn't sell him at any price, but I
am a little hard up now, and if you will
lend me $50 I'll leave him With you till

"All right" said Hans. II just want
him for a little while SO l can show
him to some smart people l know

SO everything was settled, the money
paid etc, and as the ventriloquist went
out he turned and waved his hand to
the dog and said:
