The great value of gladiolus as cut
flowers does not seem to be generally
understood as it should be. l con-
slider them among our most desirable
flowers for use in vases, and grow
them by the hundred for my own use.
They retain their brilliant colorings
wonderfully after being cut. Gather
them in the early morning, selecting
the spikes whose lower flowers only
have opened, give them tall roomy
vases use rain water If possible. and
be sure to change it every day. Given
such treatment, they will go to bloom
ing till the last bud has opened, the
same as If growing from the parent
bulb.
Because of their tall and state
ly habits, these flowers are very eff
fective in room decoration. A large
jar filled with spikes in full bloom
makes a most brilliantly beautiful
decoration for the corner of a room
or the decoration of the hearth. One
of the most effective mantel decora-
tons l have ever seem was wrought
out of ferns and gladiolus, the red,
white and lightest yellow varieties be-
ing used. For church decoration this
flower is not surpassed by any. Its
habits make 1t to harmonic we'll with
the architecture of most churches,
and its great mass Of strong. rich
colors, where quantities are used,
makes it wonderfully effective in large
spaces where smaller flowers in as
great a mass would produce what
might very appropriately be called a
Thin" effect.
Snapdragons from CuttinRs.
Once, after heavy rain-storm, I
found a number of great branches of
my finest Snapdragon broken of, and
feeling very badly over what seemed
to me great misfortune, l carefully
trimmed up each branch and pressed
it down into the soil from four to
six inches, according to its length.
Imagine my surprise and delight when
l discovered that every one immedi-
ately made roots and by cold weather
were splendid thrifty plants. all set
with buds. Feeling it almost wicked
to leave them to freeze, l took them
up. ported them in five inch pots. and
all winter they were a mass of lovely
fragrant blooms. Since that time l
make 1t a point to take cuttings each
fall from my finest plants.

MAROONs WON.

Winnipeg. Man, July 2s.-Dunn
pitched no-hit, no-run game at Hap
pyland yesterday against Lake Linden
and the Maroons won an easy game
by a score of s to O. Dunn had the
Lake Linden batters puzzled all the
way and they did not have the sem
blance of hit. Only two hard drives
went to the outfield Piper pulling one
down by a remarkable one-handed
catch and Anderson getting under the
other after a hard run. Balliett drove
the bail over the fence, but it was
twenty feet foul. Dunn was accorded
great support. Onle three Lake Lin
den batters walked, and in all only five
reached first base. Three of these got
as far as second, but only one reached
third that being in the first inning.
The Maroons hit Balliett opportunely.
Hippert led in the hitting with three
hits in four times up, while Meneice
had two in three. The score:

THE ROSS RIFLE.
NJ. II. A.. Will Permit Its Use in All
Matches.

The Manitoba Rifle association is
making preparations for the annual
meet, which will open on the Stur-
geon creek ranges at the end of the
month. Great interest is being taken
in this years matches, as so many
young shots have come to the front
in the past year that the entries will
be much greater in number than ever
before.
The Ross rifle will be allowed in all
matches and it is likely that many of
those who have the arm will give it
fair trial under match conditions.

Fast Boxing Match Won by Scotch.

man-Went Almost Ten Rounds.
Special to The Evening Times.
Winnipeg, July 27.-In the fastest
boxing match pulled off in Winnipeg
for years Billy Lauder, the Scotch
champion, Wednesday night defeated
Art. Edmunds, of Toronto. 1t was
ten-round scrap, and there was not
a dull moment from the time the boys
first put up their hands until Ed
munds was knocked out just before
the bell rang for the finish of the last
round. While hardly a clean knock
out, it was practically such, as Ed
munds had been fOored twice in quick
succession for the count of nine, but
gamely came to his feet each time.
Another blow would probably have
finished him, and his seconds threw up
the sponge.
In any event, Lauder would have
gained the decision on points, as he
had clearly the better of the mill
throughout. The Scotch boy showed
a decided improvement in form over
his last bout with Edmunds. He
mixed it up willingly, and also showed
clever footwork. Edmunds put up as
game battle as any fighter ever did,
Right until the last he took all Lauder
had to offer with a smile, and kept
after his heavier opponent at all
times. The Scotchman was trained
to the minute, however, and stood the
fast pace much better than Artie.
A big crowd saw the scrap, ami
grew wildly enthusiastic at the Cruel
ling exhibition. DR.. Baird made sat
isfactOry referee.
In the preliminary, Robert Lauder
engaged the Young Turk" in q
wrestling match. 1t was to have
been best two out of three falls.
After 27a minutes of fast work the
Turk got the first fall, but gave the
match to Lauder then. complaining of
stomach trouble.

Freesias
For early towering these little
bulbs should be started this month,
1t is greatly to be regretted that these
beautiful and exquisitely fragrant
flowers are not more generally known
and grown, they are SO easy to grow,
and bloom SO prOfusely. think the
Freesias afford me more pleasure than
any other winter blooming dubious
plant. Anyone can succeed with them.
1t is not the least bit of trouble to
grow them, simply place a half dozen
IN each six inch pot, in good rich
porous soil, pressing them down about
an inch under the surface. Then set
the pot in pan and water thorough
ly with lukewarm water. Place in the
window in either full or partial light,
and keep moist till the little grass
like leaves appear. When the flower
stalks appear, push little wires or
small strong sticks into the soil and
lightly tie the flower stalks to them.
If this is not done the weight of the
flowers will crinkle them down among
the foliage and destroy the beauty of
the plant. The finest bulbs cost but
fifty cents hundred and one should
make number of paintings in order
to have succession of blossoms.
Oxalis
These little bulbs are too we'll
known to need any description. Plant
plenty of them. They are we'll worth

It is his task to tuck the lap robe about

The footman finally finishes his work

really elegant, the lady must show nc
signs of hurry.
