Host of Hardy Annuals.
Slow-growing ANNALS should be started

which can be expected to bloom before
eight weeks after the time of planting.
The prodigies which will do it in six
weeks are rare. and many plants will
not come up to the eight-week allow

hopes to make his neighbors envious
will plant his seeds in March, and not
set his plants until May.

HONEST IN THEIR GAMBLING

There exists in the United States a

school of the fraternity in America

writes Hugh s. Fullerton, in the Amer.
lean Magazine. American gamblers
who have dealt for or played against
the Chinese will testify that they are
blood brothers of the game. Almost
every Chinaman is a gambler i'm the
true sense Of the term, and gambling
fits his philosophy better than it does
ours. Besides they are honest-Bret
Harte to the contrary-and in the
West, where the Chinaman is known,
his marker is as good as cash almost
anywhere.
