One of the methods adopted by tho
thieves was to steal goods by means of an

this way over $4,000 worth of goods have
beer stolen since the, beginning OF the
ysar.
The headquarters OF the gang was OH a
piece OF waste land at Levallois, a suburb

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-10-15

A subscriber at Clallam Wash,
makes some inquiries about the cult
walton of water-lilies. The letter has
been answered by mail, but it is not
out of place here to make few re-
marks on the subject. 1t is a matter
of great interest and there would be
more water-lily gardens were the low
ers of such plants better acquainted
with the requirements to successfully
raise them and keep them growing
from season to season. Our inquirer
proposes to use an old bath tub for
the purpose, and asks how deep to
put it, how many plants to put in, etc.
Full information for her, as well as for
every one who is interested, may be
secured by writing to Peter Henderson
& Co., 35-37 Cortlandt St., New York,
for copy of their interesting pam
phlet on "The Culture of Water Lilies
and Aquatic Plants" copy of which
may be secured for the asking.
There is much to be said concern
ing this interesting plant, the water
lily or nymphaea. This is one of the
most royal, gorgeous, diversified and
universally admired plants in cultiva-
ton, and when properly grown and
cared for furnishes a profusion of
bloom that is exquisite to look at. The
general ignorance of the methods for
its successful cultivation is response.
BILE for it's not being more largely
grown. This is particularly the case
in our part of the country, where con-
ditions are favorable for their success
full cultivation. A little study of the
subject and some practical expert
ments with the nymphaea in one sea-
son should enable any lover of the
beautiful to have a small water lily
garden every recurring season.
Too many amateurs make a failure
of their culture because they do not
