 The question was then discussed con- cerning the lifting of bulbs accord ing to Northern method, or the letting them be" for four or five years. ac- cording to Southern custom. Memories were taxed for ''data" concerning old gardens and after much interesting s talk from all present, it was agreed that our climate favored the leaving the bulbs in the ground. Mrs. Cobbs said her ionquils and daffodils grew better and more abundant by leaving them.
 Mrs. Robert Malls's magnificent mar clssus were cited as a fine example of the advantage of leaving them alone.
 It was agreed that the highly de- veloped hyacinth or tulip bulbs. as gotten from the modern florist, would not work well under this plan. It was sure to deteriorate when placed under what should be normal conditions. Mrs. Seibles has had best success by letting her bulbs alone-her garden is noted for It's wonderful blooms.
 Mrs. Brame said her greatest suc- cess with 7gladiolus bulbs had been to enrich the bed and let alone; for year after year the spikes of bloom had been remarkable for goreous beauty.

 Many out-of-town people are great ly interested in the doings of the Montgomery flower growers. Mrs. Black. of Troy, Ala, while In attend ance on the Federation of Women's Clubs. said she was interested in the roofing of roses. Her method is to open a trench, lay the cutting "fiat down" in 1t and cover up-if a little bit of the plant is above ground, all night if none. all right She seldom- fails to root the rose. Try 1t.
 Mrs. Gadd!s, of Wetumpka, writes of her interest, and tells of having had zoo crimson spider-lilies in bloom at one time. She desires to share with the Bulb Committee for the Capitol grounds.
 Mrs. Robert Halls sent in last week a great basket of fine bulbs from the old Fielder Plantation" homo, where she grows bulbs by the thousands; this generous gift was to add to the beau ty of the Capitol grounds. e
 Mrs. Seibles brought some exquisite specimens of the fine rose Madame Camille. One rose, full blown, was as large as a small saucer. This rose possesses the peculiarity of blooming fine rosy pink In the spring, and an exquisite cream color in the fall.

dustry, sent by the American Iron and Steel Association. The witness was pretty sure that there was "some sort of understanding" between German, French and English mills, and that fl would be flor the good of the steel trade of the United States" if it were permitted to join the combination; fIt would protect the entire steel rail market of the world" and they would "get better prices. Undoubtedly the division of territory by 6 world steel trust would be an easier way of secur- ing a monopoly of the American mar ket even than getting a satisfactory tariff schdule from Congress.
 The nearest approach to "steel mag nate" before the Committee, was Will lis l.. King, viec-president of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company of Pitts burg, said to be the largest producer of steel bars and structural steel out side of the trust. He said he was tmbarrassed by being obliged to ask the Comitte for an increase of $2.0O per ton on steel bars. involving a fur ther tax upon thes people of $s,000,00O annually but he soon recovered from his embarrassment and was not slow in claiming the right of the steel men to exclude all foreign competition. Tn recent years the importations in his line have been trifing, and whom told that he evidently believed in a ''pro- hibitive tariff", he replied: 'I think that probably Is right. If the manu- lecturers had plenty of protection, he thought the workmen would not lob ject to a tax on coffee, tea, sugar and what not.
 Had Made Expectations.
 Although claiming that foreigners can produce structural steel cheaper than American mills, he admitted that his company had made large exporta- tions of steel to the Province of Ontario, selling 1t in competition with English manufacturers who pay one third less duty than Americans on en- tering Canada, and his company had been able to sell in the Canadian mar ket at not more than per cent re- duction from American prices. When questioned with reference to the inn position that the stel duties make up- on the consumer, MT. King replied Well. he is willing to pay. When asked If the consumer pays the tariff duty, he said: "I think that is true. am glad that he pays it''. When ask ed the question. You say that prices are at present dictated practically by the terms of the steel trust, he answered Yes. sir. When confronted with Andrew Carnegie's statement that

December Meeting.

On Tuesdayl afternoon, December 1, sixteen faithful members met warm reception at the home of the Presi- dent. A sharp sting of coming frost in the air made the glowing lire very cheery
 In no wise were these faithful grow CTS of flowers discouraged because or lowering clouds and chilly wind; they were sure that summer would come again and summer roses bloom anew" So they were planning for careful storing of precious plants against the winters day of wrath"
 Mrs. Harvey Jones had just returned from the U. C. V. reunion in Mobhe' and she came laden with treasures from that wonderful garden of hers, down there-treasure for her friends, cutting of japonicas especially. and wreaths of ."wintergreen" that she had gathered from the woodsy hills of old Virginia the past summer.
 Mrs. Lewis Cobbs brought post card showing the growth of the Vic toria Gegia, the largest water lily in the world, is cultivated in the public gardens of Philadelphia. The man who stood onSope of the giant leaves as 1t extended Itself on the surface or the water. weighed 1S0 pounds; this gives some idea of the size of the lear and it's powers of resistance.
 Mrs. Arlington spoke of seeking the same plant in Chicago, and of watch . ing the gardener as he waded around among his "hotilla" of plants and pruned them. He was in a rubber suit; the water was from four to five feet deep.
 Mrs John Cody brought a bouquet of "crab -claw" cactus. The blooms were exquisite but not quite ''wel- come"---as they were expected to be In full glory for Christmas week. here they are three weeks ahead of time, owing to the fine growing weather we nave had. However, many present were glad to have them as cuttings to start decorations for future Christ masses.
 Speaking of caetuses reminded Miss Andrews of what she had seen and learned in Washington this summer.
