the friends were out and the lady ush

perfect ease. The detention of the
president of the club (Mr. ]. p. Per

BY EBEN RExFoRO.

If we wait until late October or No
vember before procuring the plants we
propose to make use of in the coming
season, the possibilities are that when
the season is here it will find the win
dow garden full of half-developed
plants from which little can be eX-
pected until well along in the spring.
This is all wrong. We want good,
strong plants at the beginning of win
ter-plants which have reached state
of development which warrants us in
looking for good returns from them in
the way of flowers.
The fact is, few plants adapted to
use in the house in winter reach a
satisfactory stage of development in
less than six months.
This being true. what reason have
we to expect much in winter from
plants not taken in hand until late
in the fall?
Decide what plants you will grow.
If you are not in possession of them,
order them at once. If you have any
you care to carry over another sea
son, repot them and get them at work
as soon as possible.
| would not advise the use of large
pots in reporting. Nowadays we de-
pend on fertilizers to furnish food
for our plants rather than on large
quantities of fresh earth.
We can grow fine plants with lots
less root room than formerly. Con-
densed plant food in the shape OF
liquids containing the elements OF
plant growth makes it possible to
greatly economic in space.
feel confident that the time is com
ing when all the soil needed for the
development of a plant shall consist
of just enough to serve as the medium
by which we convey the fertilizer We
use to the roots of the plant. Possibly
we shall get along without soil, some
thing else being used as the agent be
tween fertilizer and the roots.
What plants are you going to use

bunch Of millinery foliage. For this
purpose the velvet maiden-hair fern
Is the best choice
Scraps of ribbon or silk in bright
colors-pink, rose, yellow or white,
or other colors If desired-make up
the small rosebuds. A narrow fold
four to six inches long is rolled into
the semblance of a bud. The tie
wire is wound about this roll at one
end to form the stem. AS this wire
is as fine as a coarse thread it should
be doubled to make the rosebud
stems.
The violets are made either of vel
vet baby ribbon or No. silk ribbon.
Little bows of four loops, each three
quarters of an inch deep, are wound
at the middle with the tie-wire
which holds the loops to place and
forms the stem. After the roses and
violets have been made, group them
together in a little bouquet and tie
the stems with a bit of tie-wire
Place spray of the maiden-hair fern
with them, wrap with tin-foil, which
may be had at the florists, and tie
with a plain bow Of the baby ribbon.
Purple tin-foil should be used. To
make a large bunch OF violets a wider
ribbon (about half inch wide) should
be used The violets are made in
the manner first described. A single
dark red rosebud of ribbon or silk
is mounted with them and a few MILL
merry leaves of rose foliage. There
are usually plenty of these among
ones discarded millinery flowers. If
they are crumpled they may be
pressed lightly with an iron-not hot
but just warm.

not often seen in ordinary collections.
1t is a profuse and constant bloomer Of
easy culture.
Give it spongy, porous soil and all
the water it needs and 1t will ask
little more of you. II has a multitude
of very fine roots, that draw the mois-
ture from the soil with great rapidity,
therefore much more water must be
given it than would be required by
geranium in a pot of the same size.
Its flowers are of pearly pink color,
often deepening to lilac, and some.
times fading to almost white. They
are borne in good sized clusters, well
above the foliage. For not very
sunny window we have no better
plant.
The Baby Primrose, catalogued as
Primula Forbesi, is quite similar to p
Obconica in habit, but it has smaller
flowers than that variety. 1t is a
dainty, charming little thing that ev-
cry woman who loves flowers will
speedily make friends with. II re-
quires the same treatment as that
advised for the other variety.
Begonia Templin is a variety of re-
cent introduction, deserving a place
in ALI collections where plants with
beautiful foliage find favor.
It's leaves, which are large and free
ly produced, have dark green ground,
over which there are the most striking
variegations of light and dark yellow,
sometimes in spots, sometimes in
blotches and occasionally covering so
much surface that the leaves seem TO
be yellow variegated with green.
The habit of the plant is bushy and
compact. 1t is long time since We
have had anything more attractive
And it is of the easiest culture. ANY
one who has ever grown any Begonia
can be successful with it.
II you are going to make use OF
any hanging plants be sure to get
them started at once. You cannot Sc
cure good specimens OF these in less
than three or four months.
The list of really good hanging
plants is not large. The Saxlfraga
commonly known as Strawberry ge
ranium" because of its habit OF
spreading out runners, is still one oil
our best.

MAN NOT PAST PRIME AT 40
Mortality Figures Have Been Misin-
terpreted, as May Easily Be
Made Plain.

The mortality figures recently pub
lished by the census bureau have
been interpreted in some quarters to
prove that man is past his prime at
forty years. A careful examination
of the figures themselves shows that
this conclusion is utterly unwarrant-
ed. The specific death rates, correct
ed for age and sex, indicate that in
1911 14.5 persons died among every
thirty-fve and forty-four, while the
death rate for women of the same age
was only ten. Between the ages of
forty-five and fifty-four the specific
death rate was 23.3 for every thousand
men and 1872 for every thousand wom-
en-. Certain alarmists have added to-
gether these specific death rates in
the attempt to show that the mortality
between the ages of thirty-fve and
fifty-four is GO per thousand of popu-
lation. Statsticidns know very well
that specific rates cannot be added in
this way, and conclusions based on
such crude and ignorant manipulation
Of government figures need occasion
no anxiety
What the government report does
show is that the mortality curve for
the United states is not essentially
different from that traced in foreign
countries. This curve approxmates
the form of the letter j. The base
of the letter represents the most Wig
orous years Of life, from ten to thirty
five, when the mortality is lowest.
The numerous diseases OF infancy
cause the curve to climb upward a lit
lie way on the left side, while the ap-
proach of old age causes the right
side Of the letter to mount steadily
and almost vertically upward, until
the highest mortality is reached at
seventy-five years and over. Such a
curve is common to all countries, and
the fact that the mortality Increases
between thirty-five and fifty-fve years
does not manifest alarming differences
about the so-called Osler dictum. The

modest gifts mount up into a total

sort of gift.

ARE NO MORE WILD OYSTERS
Market is Now Found Grow
ing Naturally.

The popular idea of the source Of
oysters is that they grow wild in
creeks, estauries, etc, and that men
go out in little boats and catch them,
a bushel or two at time. Not one
bushel in one thousand of natural Oys-
tiers ready for market is found grow
ing naturally. Instead of growing nat.
urally, the artificial propagation, Guilt
walton and planting of oysters on
large scale now produces more than
1000 bushels of mature oysters
against one bushel of mature oysters
growing wild.
Oyster farming is now a productive
industry, as completely as 10 grain
farming on the enormous grain fields
Of the west, It is well compared to
grain farming, except that the grow
ing. of oysters is a farm more compli-
Gated, expensive and hazardous.
A large oyster farm comprises many
thousands of acres of land under from
Is to 70 feet of water in the great
bodies of salt water. Often these
farms are situated several miles from
the shore. The small boats used in
the catching of wild oysters would be
useless in the propagation, placing or
catching of the crops on these great
oyster farms. Steamers and gasoline
boats are employed Some of the large
steamers are more than $50 feet in
length, 80 feet wide, and catching 5000
bushels of oysters per day, in water
80 to 600 feet deep-in other words,
as deep as a six-story building is high.
