REMOVING PLANT FROM POT
Method Shown in Illustration Will En-
able One to Re-pot Plants With
out lnjuring Roots.

A lady gardener once said to me:
81 have no trouble in taking a plant
out of a pot in which it has been
growing for some time, as l simply
take a table knife and cut around the
inside Of the pot, and the plant drops
out when the pot is inverted" But
That method cannot be approved, as
the knife will ruin many of the roots,
and so lnjure the plant that it will not
recover its normal growth again for
several weeks after shifting, says a
writer in Parks Floral Magazine
But 1t is not only in reporting that
we wish to take a plant from the
pot Often we wish to examine the
roots or the soil or the drainage,
and the easiest way to do it is to
place the fingers over the soil, in
vert, and tap the edge against the
ledge of the table. The manner Of
grasping the pot is shown in the IL
lustration Before doing this it is
we'll to thoroughly water the plant
as this adds TO the weight and acts

that they literally run instead of

SET OUT STRAWBERRY PLANT
Several Methods in General Use, but
Matted-Row System Seems Best
Keep Weeds Down.

There are several methods of plant.
ing in general use, which may be mod
flied to suit the planter. The method
which seems best adapted to ordinary
conditions in the matted-row system.
In the spring, when the land is in
good condition to work, harrow smooth
and mark out rows four feet apart and
as long as possible Then set the
plants at IS or 24-inch intervals in
the rows, and cultivate often enough
TO keep the weeds out and the soil
loose until September when, if the
plants are vigorous growers. the run
ners should be about six inches apart
1t is desirable to train the runners
the long way TO the rows, cutting out
plants that crowd In ordinary plant
ing trowel or spade is used 10 set the
plants. a spade is an easy implement
TO open the ground with. Strike it
into the ground and work il back and
forth draw out the spade, spread the
roots of the plant, and set il so the
crown comes just to the surface Of
the ground Firm the soil well about
the roots Of tile plant. AS soon as
possible after setting the plants, Gull
tiyation should commence, and it
should continue at frequent intervals
till fall Keep the weeds down and
the top soil loose. II the runners get
too thick, cut out part of them, leaving
about six inches between them. Run
ners may be encouraged 10 root by
putting an inch or two OF soil over
each one near the end

ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
WILL OPEN MONDAY

London, Feb. 4.-Everything is in
readiness for the opening of Parlia-
ment Monday. In view of the stirring
national issues WIN which the speech
from the Throne is bound to deal the
event is certain TO attract extraordi-
nary attention. 1t is learned that the
greatest precautions are being taken
to prevent any suffragette demonstra-
ton in the vicinity of Westminster on
the day of opening
There are few scenes more imposing
than that to be witnessed in the House
of Lords when Parliament is opened
by the King with the full state cere-
mony. 1t is customary for his Males
ty to wear the brilliant uniform OF field
marshal, which is partly concealed by
his great state robes. The Queen like
wise wears over her gorgeous gown a
cloak OF SHOWN ermine. Her small
diamond crown and the bright ribbon
of the order of the Garter add to the
brilliant effects of her appearance.
Besides their Majesties sit the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught and other
members Of the royal family, while
clustered aroung are the great officers
of state. Peers in their robes make a
line of white and scarlet along the
back benches. In front sit the peress.
es in beautiful dresses, with white
plumes waving in their hair and dia-
monds glittering in countless tiaras
and pendants.

1.-THE Genius"

One of Americas most notable stars
in high class play, under the direc-
ton of successful producer, cast
of charming merit. chorus of voice
and beauty. are the essential elements
that spell success. Evidently Mort
Singer will treat us to another success
when he presents Henry Woodruff in
THE Genius" song comedy, at the
Gennett. Wednesday night. The book
is by William and Cecil DeMille who
have written numerous triumphs, the
music is from the pen of Paul Reu-
bens. The cast is a notable one and
embraces a vintage of 1910 chorus la
dies. The Genius differs from usual
musical comedies in that the play
bears highly interesting plot which
is not interrupted by an over supply Of
musical connection. True there are
ten songs brewed into this play, but
they are so skillfully blended that they
do not detract from the story in the
least. Seats for this stellar attraction
will be on sale Monday morning.

The compulsory dissipation Of the
million dollars in one year by Mont
gomery Brewster has made the whole
country laugh.
The claim is justly made that the
ship scene with the storm at sea in
the third act completely overshadows
any stage picture ever presented.
Frederic Thompson who was the man
ager and proprietor of the attraction,
has amply demonstrated the fact in
his productions of Society Circus
and "A Yankee Circus on Mars" at the
New York Hippodrome, that he is the
greatest living master of startling
stage illusions that this country has
yet produced. In the great third act
scene of ''Brewster's Millions" Mr..
Thompson has by the manipulation of
complicated mechanical devices and
electricity produced the effect of ar
CRY waves mountains high and the au-
dence can easily imagine itself on
ship-board, so perfectly is the illusion
presented and carried out.
