LILIUM sPECI0SUM, VAR. RUBRUM.
LThis is a universal favorite All lilies
should be planted in the fall. BY spring
the fieshy bulbs have lost much of their
strength, and the roots are dried upl
many of his customers report success
from spring planting. Nevertheless
the only reason for planting lilies in
the spring is that you have forgotten
Ito do SO in the fall, and it would be
unWise to risk any large sum of money
on spring planted lilies
In this connection is given the fol
lowing description Of two good new
lilies, Of which Rural New Yorker
says Recent explorations in the far
east have brought to light several nler-
itorious liliums, new both to botanical
science and to horticulture Chief OF
these is L. henryi, the 'yellow speci-
Osum" Interest in this vigorous and
handsome species is increasing, ii be
ing asked for in quantities rs large as
l25000 bulbs for single decorative
planting 1t is needless to say it is
mot on the market in such numbers.
PLANTERS must still content themselves
with this fine species by the dozen or
hundred at good round prices for even
such limited quantities.
Ltlium sutcheuenense, from western
China, is a very bright and graceful
species Of the tiger lily type. The
blooms are orange red, with black-pur-
DIe SDOttin0 and have relieved npta1S
like our native swamp lilies 1t grows
tall, and the stems are heavily clothed
with very narrow leaves. 1t appears
to be entirely hardy, our trial bulbs
.wintering perfectly with no protection
but their earth covering. Though the
blooms are perhaps not SO large, it is
far more refined and decorative in
growth and appearance than any tiger
lilly we know. Tt will doubtless become
great favorite when it can be had in
quantity.

Annual Convention of Federation
Of Woman's Clubs Begins at
Fond du Lac Wednesday
MRS. SKINKLE A SPEAKER
President of the Kenosha Woman's
Club Reads Address Prepared by
Mrs. e. c. Thiers-Next Con-
vention in Milwaukee

Kenosha club women are watching
with a great deal of interest, the ses-
sions of the Convention of the Wis
consin Federation of Woman's clubs,
which beg am at Fond du Lac at noon
on Wednesday. Many of the mem
bers of the Kenosha club have gone
to Fond du Lac to attend the sessions
which will continue until tomorrow
evening.
At the session of the convention this
afternoon, the Rev. Florence Buck of
this city was the principal speaker
and she spoke on the subject Three
Great American Satirists.' The
lecture by Miss Buck was one of the
big features of the convention.
AT the opening session Of the CON
vention held on Wednesday after
noon, the address of welcome to the
club women was made by Mrs. Henry
Boyle, president of the Fond du Lac
club and the response which was writ
ten by Mrs. E. C. Theirs, of this city,
was read by Mrs, Harry Skinkle,
president of the Woman's club of Ke-
nosha. In her response Mrs. Theirs
said:
''It is with pleasure that we re-
spond to this cordial welcome of our
hostess club. We are glad to come.
With the memories of former conven-
tions still vivid, how could it be other
wise? The practical thought and the
desire to help those who sorely need
our help IS SO made the dominant note
of these meetings, that we have
learned to come each year for fresh
inspiration and renewal of courage to
meet our own problems. 1t is said an
ideal guest is one, who in quiet un-
obtrusive way, assists the hostess by
talking with the stranger, helping the
diffident one, lending happiness and
good cheer to the occasion. This is
our part ard will be only an outward
evidence of an inner feeling Of dee o
gratitude for all the kindness and
hospitality extended to as.
The clubs of Milwaukee are making
a strong contest to have the next
federation meeting held in that city
and it is not thought that any other
invitation will be urged before the
club women. The report of the nomi-
mating committee has not as yet been
made. Mrs. E. C. Theirs of this city
is strongly mentioned for the office of
the president of the State Federation,
but illness prevented her attending
the convention att Fond du Lac and
she may be unwilling to have her
name go before the convention. She
is at the present time first vice presi-
dent Of the state organization and is
IN direct line for the presidency if she
cares to accept the honor. 1t is GER
tain that the Kenosha club will be
represented in the list of officers of
the federation for the coming year.

CROPS ARE NOT DAMAGED
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Says Prospects Are Bright.
No Cause For AIarm-Thinks Cpv of
Damage Has Been Raised
For a Purpose.

Chicago.-Reports of damage to
the crops, which have been so M
nervous of late, owing to the unsea-
sonable weather and the ravages of
bugs, have been greatly exaggerated.
and for a purpose, according to James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture.
Spring seeding is a little back
ward on account of the cold wealth
err" he said, "but there is plenty of
time between now and the last of
of grain. In Minnesota and the Da-
kotas, where we raise most of our
spring wheat, seeding has been de-
layed about two weeks, but, with a
few days of warm sunshine, planting
will be in full progress.
while the weather has been I'M
reasonably cold in some grain re-
gions, still it has not been severe
enough to retard blowing, and my ad-
vices are that the ground in those
States has been nearly all made ready
to receive the seed. We will have
warm weather in a few days, and 7
don't e what is to prevent a nor
NAL crop of spring wheat in the Uni
ted States.
"As regards the Canadian North
west, the reports that this years har-
vest may be seriously diminished NAV
have some foundation.
However, such a condition in the
Canadian Northwest will not make a
great deal of difference when this
years crop is harvested. The Cana
dian farmer grows but a small Dor
ton of the total crop of wheat, and I
am of the opinion that the deficiency,
If there should be any in that part of
the country this year, will hardly be
noticed when the harvesting through
out the world has been completed.
I'm the Southwest there have been
numerous rumors for the last three
weeks of serious damage wrought by
green bugs. These reports of dam
age to the winter wheat have been
grossly exaggerated. l am in a posi-
as anybody regarding the growing
crop. While l have had many re-
ports about the green bug, still the
damage wrought by these insects has
been local in every instance, and
there has not been any general attack
by this pest, as some people are en-
deavoring to make it appear.
From my knowledge of the South
west, where SO much of our winter
wheat is grown, the advices l have at
hand lead me to believe that the
Southwest will have it's usual crop
this year. This applies to oats and
corn as well as to wheat. The crop
as a whole may be delayed somewhat
in ripening, but not enough to cause
any apprehension. Corn will suffer
the most, as blowing for this crop
has been delayed considerably, but 1
see no u for alarm.
There is considerable grain
grown between Washington and Chi
cago, and from my personal observa-
ton of this part of the United States
l can state without any reservation
that 1 never in my life saw brighter
prospects than are prevailing at the
present time.
Taken as a whole, 1 see no cause
for complaint, and I think it will be
found, when ~thrashing time comes,
that all this cry of crop damage has
been made for a purpose"
