Or else the recipe by which
They quickly disappear
And seem to be so far away,
Altho' they are quite near.

the sixth row we're many of them

the remainder of them subsequently
exhibited a strange phenomenon. A
second towering began at the end of

The fire had lasted only four hours,

nary forcing. All the species which
blossomed were those whose buds for
the following year are formed In the

homenon ought to suggest a starting
point for experiments which might be
valuable in the forcing of plants and
