German oasis as a set-off to the kai-
ser's 10000 Greek guests now being

propose to bend it, and over this the
canes can be bent. | prefer this meth

The object is to form a support of
soil which will enable you to curve
the bushes over it, thus avoiding the
injury to ones plants.
Lay all the bushes in one direction,
placing the stalks close together. By
doing this, much covering can be
saved

them in place If this is not done,
they will be sure to spring back to

manure and little powdered charcoal
thoroughly mixed.
AmarylliS bulbs received in the au-
tumn should be placed where they will
be always slightly moist and warm
do not pot up the bulbs before the
flower buds appear. When they are
first potted, give them little water and
promote growth by giving moderate
bottom heat. As the plants progress
increase the supply of water. The
