TranspIanting Bulbs.

flowers or shrubs in n garden must work
quickly, for they must be transferred to

All perennials, lilies and other similar
plants should be placed in new ground as
soon as they have stopped blooming. The
seed pods should be cut off or the flow

and are merely waste, unless the plants
arc grown for stock.
Roses may be put in new, but they

Amateur gardeners who nave expert
mented in transplanting wild evergreens
find that success is more probable If "a
large ball of earth is kept about the roots
when they are taken up. To do this the
ground about the trunk must first be
soaked with water, and then If spade
is put carefully all around, loosening, but
not tearing, the roots. the dirt Will be
solid about them and the disturbance

English gardener is authority for the
statement that "al young eversreens

large profits out of the immigrant bust
ness. and even If they have to carry
some of the immigrants back. it still
leaves enough profit to make the business
worth while. The immigration service
wants law requiring all steamship COM
panies to make oath that they will not
encourage immigration, with a refusal of
clearance papers as a penalty for its vio-
lation. One Of the most troublesome
things with which the immigration serv-
ice has to deal is the smuggling of

times they come hidden in coal bunlxers,

some occasions the average is 1900 "a
