Baby's Grandmother
Also Becomes Its
Sister-in-Law.

COLOGNE, Oct. 1.-THE lit
tie village of Hohenberg, near
here, is now more interested in
domestic complications than it is
in international ones. The town
is absorbed in working out the
complexities of two matrimonial
adventures, beside which the
table of affinity appears ridicu-
lousy simple.
The puzzle started two years
ago when a straightforward
widower wooed and married the
village belle, maid of twenty
two, who thus became the step
mother of her husbands forty
year-old son. Emboldened by his
fathers example, the son mar
ried the mother of his step
mother, by which his own father
became his son-in-law.
Then the twenty-two-year
wife presented her husband with
a daughter and the elder bride
did the same thing, and SO the
first baby's grandmother is also
her sister-in-law.

WILL OPEN
NOV. |
Three Dozen New Varieties and
Two Thousand Plants to
Be in Exhibit.

More than three dozen new va
rieties of chrysanthemums will
grace the 22nd Annual Chrysanthe-
mum Show, opening in the green
houses of the Department of Agri-
culture, November 1, for a weeks
exhibit.
Four Of the largest of the de-
partment's green houses have been
turned over for the exhibition,
which promises to be the largest
in the history of the department. ~
Among the new varieties are
several which, it is declared,
promise to prove exceptionally pop.
ular Included are a variety Of
crossings between Japanese plants,
producing some of the most beauti-
full colorings and formations yet

large variety of pompoms will also
feature the show.

them have been produced, all of
which promise to be. of intense in
terest to chrysanthemum lovers and
horticulturists generally
Approximately 1000 plants will be
on exhibition. The Japanese va.
rieties hold the center Of attruc-
ton. These in blossom are creating
a riot Of color in the larger green
houses, where they are arranged in
banked mass down the centers.
Some of them have attained a
height Of more than four feet, with
tops crowded by blossoms which ap.

Transfer Pollen.
According to Byrnes all of the
plants will be in full bloom when
the show opens. Contrary to gen.
eral belief, the cultivation OF
.crysanthemumS to blossom at a
given time does not require un-
usual treatment. Where plants
nave dlCdIuSu the same advanced
stage Of growth and are cultivated
under the same conditions, they
will blossom at the same time.
In the developing Of the varieties
it appears that grating is not re-
sorted to by the department. The
process consists of selecting the pa
rent stock, and when the blossoms
are blown and the pollen appears
the latter is transferred from one
plant to another on a camel's hair
brush. Some little difficulty in this
crossing of varieties in a search
for new form is caused by the
presence of insects which convey
the pollen from blossom to blossom.
To Interest Florists.
Several of the new varieties, it is
believed. will prove attractive to
commercial florists, particularly
those where delicate variations in the
blossom form has been attained.
At the conclusion of the exhibit
the blossoms will be cut and turned
over to the Junior League, for dis
tribution among local hospitals. 1t
is expected that last years attend

visited the greenhouses, will be ex-
