removed from the beds, after Towering
in the spring, to make way for sum-
mer Towering plants, they hould not
be lifted until the foliage turns brown
completely down to the ground. Store
in a cool, dry place until the next au-
tumn, when they may be replanted.
A good rule in planting is to cover
the bulbs one and one-half times their
length. as the sizes vary greatly in
different varieties. The smaller sorts
should be planted three to foul inches
apart and the larger sorts five to six
inches. For window culture treat the
same as hyacinths, planting three or
more bulbs OF the same variety In a
pot. Narcissi should be planted as
early as possible in the autumn for
best results.
Almost any soil will grow narcissi,
but the richer the soil the deeper Will
be the color of the flowers. Sulphide
Of potash, used at the rate OF three
quarters of an ounce to the square
yard, at planting time, is said TO
helghten the color of the overs.
Narcissi, like h~yancinths, tulips and
other bulbs, can be grown in pots in
the odorless fibre sold by bulb dealers
The polyanthus narcissi can be grown
in water, the giant paper White grandi-
fora il best for this purpose. Double
! Roman narcissi may be grown in the
same tanner. The we'll known Chinese
sacred lily, usually grown in water,
though il does equally well In pots,
is a variety of narcissi. For water
culture select the largest sized bulbs
o~btainable. The bowls should be about
half full or more OF pebbles, for the
roots OF the bulbs to cling to. thus
preventing the plants from topping
over. A few dishes or pots OF narcissi
started at intervals will give a success
sion of bloom throughout the winter.
Daffodils are divided into three main
| divisions. (A) Magni coronati' large
trumpet ~daffodils; OBJ Medic coro-
natl, medium sized trumpets; co parvi

Narcissus blooms consist of two

N COMPOUNDS.
Housewives Warned That Use of
Preserving Powders Is Dangerous.

The canning season has brought
the usual demand on the part Of
housewives for sallcylic acid and boric
acid. These preparations are some-
times sold in the form Of powder
under various trade names and are
recommended by the promoters for
use in preserving canned goods in
home canning. In the directions for
use tho housewife is told to fill the
lar with the fruit or vegetables, cover
with water, and add a teaspoonful of
the preserving powder, While 1t is

States Department OF Agriculture that
their use may be attended by seri-
GUS disturbances of health. Salicylic

We have taken the matter up with
Mr.. Gaskill and asked exactly how
the Department Of Conservation and
Development intends to induce settlers
to locate on the million acres of avail
able land.
There Is much good land in New
Jersey to be bought at n reasonable
price; land having good buildings
and that has been broken and cult
waited for years. Some of 1t Is rich,
having been carefully fortified every
year. This land is offered at a fair
price and 1t Is cheaper to buy fertile
land at $3.50 an acre than to buy run
down land at $50. particularly if the
purchaser is around middle life and
must get his farm on q paying basis
quickly to provide for the needs of a
family. A young nan with limited
capital possibly car afford to wait
and take time to build up his soil.
II is n long, tedious operation and few
have the patience to see the opera

If New Jersey really wants to do

aid should he extended to the farmers

is made TO bring in half a million
