 Houses of florists come from a comparatively small area in Duplln County. N. c. Here a group of nurserymen produce annually many million bulbs of the tuberose for sale in this country and for exportation to Europe. The bulbs flourish there wonderfully in a light,

 The crop. which must be richly manured and | frequently cultivated, natures in August, and l is gathered from six to nine weeks later. The tops then cut of at the ground and the bulbs are plowed out much as if they were potatoes. They are gathered by colored wo-
 men, who shake them free of earth and remove the young bulbs to serve to start the next years crop. The most careful growers have the bulbs punched in tens by little negroes and
 hung up indoors to dry. Sometimes artificial
 heat is used to hasten the drying. The curing process occupies from one to two months. The
 bulbs are not ready for market until Decem-
 Der. They are then packed in paper-lined bar
 rels holding from 600 800 to 300 and in these packages they are shipped to various
 parts of the world.
 New York is the port from which most of tho
 bulbs shipped to Europe, and exporters here sometimes send away as many as half a
 million bulbs in season. The price, which
 has greatly fallen within the last ten years,

SAVED FROM THE GRAVE.
Formaldehyde Injection is Admins
tered With Remarkable Results.

IcTCO WIN HcHldTkdDle ncSuilS.
Mason City, Feb. 12.-Medical
science is scoring great achieve
ment in this city. Early in January
4Irs. Jay e. Decker gave birth to a
child. Twenty-Five days later, from
unknown cause. when the mother was
up and around, puerpural fever set
in. The fever increased rapidly until
the temperature stood at log and the
pulse rose to 160. She grew worse
and all hopes of recovery were gone.
The physician had noted that in New
York, on Christmas day, a new solu-
ton had been used with remarkable
success. AS a last resort this was
tried. The first injection consisted of
500 c. C. in proportions of / to 1000
of formaldehyde, and 1t was injected
into the vacilic vein. The fever in
twenty minutes had dropped one de-
gree and the pulse fell to 100. In
twelve hours after the injection the
fever stood at 1928. The next day 1t
raised to los. 1t was then decided to
give a second injection, and the
strength was increased to 100 c. C. of
/ to 1000 formaldehyde. This was in.
jected into the same vein in the op-
posite arm. The temperature dropped
one degree Immediately and continued
to drop right along. Three days after
the second injection the temperature
was at 96.6, the pulse at IS. The pa
tient is now rapidly recovering and is
pronounced out of danger. Already in
quiries from physicians in various To-
calities In the state have begun to
come in, and the cure that is certain
will attract great dealof attention
from a medical standpoint.
