Aunt Martha heard my comment on
Keys inflrmity and was about to be-
come intensely sympathetic and tell
him how her 5rothor's wife was cured
when Bunch interrupted loudly by ask

Martha. HE has spent all the morn.

him" Then she turned to key, Don't
you think these modern dances are
perfectly disgusting?"
Poor key looked reproachfully at
the old lady a second. then with gath
ering establishment he slid silently
off the chair and struck the floor with
a bump.
Aunt Martha was so ratified over
this unexpected effort on Mr..
Schwartz's part that she upset her
coffee and key got most Of 1t in the
back of the neck.
When peace was finally restored the
old lady came to the surface with an
envelope which had been lying on the
table near her plate.

asked, and then arranging her
glasses, read with great deliberations

Take up tuberoses that have not
bloomed. They will bloom indoors.
Keep potting plants that you intend
to carry yer. Soak the ground we'll
before lifting.
Crinum oranta is not a winter bloom
er. The bulbs should be kept in slight,
ly-moist sand until February or March.
Let the spotted Gala ripen, then
take up and keep in dry sand in a
frost-proof place until the new year.
Bring the agapanthus indoors when
cold weather sets in, and set in a cool
cellar.
Pot the water hyacinth in soil, keep
wet but not sloppy. and set in the
sunshine in a warm room.
No matter what you try to keep
over winter, you annot know too
much about caring for it. Learn all
you can.
Pull all the old ANNALS that are
done blooming, and either burn or put
into the manure heap. Keep things
tidy.
Get the cold frames ready and fill
with plants that are to be kept in
them over winter. Have all in order
for an emergency.
All the irises are beautiful and
hardy, and there are many varieties
of coloring. Fall is the time to plant
them.

Then Bunch took the letter from
the open-eyed Aunt Martha and leaped
to the rescue while l came out of the
trance slowly.
IT'S too bad Mr.. Schwartz forgot

and key was wise to the tip in a
minute.
Peaches shifted suspiciously and l
knew she had the gloves On.

put in quietly. Then with the utmost
deliberation he looked Ikey in the

your possession which is addressed

Tea roses do their thriftiest grow

autumn. Keep the insects down and

Oleanders, lemons, oranges, hydran-

nearly all tub plants are best wintered
in the cellar. Keep growing now.

PLANTS THAT MURDER

There are plants that are murderers,
k%idnapers, advertisers, explorers and
storekeepers. The moccasin flower is
a wanton murderer. Its flowers are
so shaped as to lure ants and other
wingless insects to them. Once inside
they have no chance to escape. There
they stay, struggling until they starve
to death. Some orchids, while not
considered insect eaters, undoubtedly
draw a certain amount of nourishment
from the decayed bodies of their in.
sect prey. Many other flowers trap
insects, which they kill and gradually
digest as food.
Indian Pipes are robbers and graft

The Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a shame
