North Louisiana that 1 am asking you

through several cars of seed potatoes
shipped in from South Louisiana last
spring by C. NJ. Porter and distributed
either by him OF through the firms OF
H. M. We'll, Henry Rose and Foster &:

seed this spring from any of the above
firms, or who obtained seed or slips for
planting from some one who bought
from them, may suspect that his pota-

Nice for hall.
The grevillia is very decorative,

DAISIES ALL YEAR ROUND

In the mild climate of California and
some of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around. In Cali
fornia these flowers grow very much
larger than those of the East as do
all Pacific coast flowers; but they
seem to lack brilliancy, and to many
persons are not as satisfactory.
In the colder climates, of course, it
is impossible to keep daisies bloom
ing every month; but by planting diff
ferent varieties some of them may be
kept blooming the entire summer. The
