The fact that the shotgun with
which he was killed rested on the
invalid's knees was definite proof
that he had been murdered.
In the first place. the recoil
of the shotgun would have thrown

Secondly, it would, Of course,
have been physically impossible
for him to have put the gun on
his lap after having blown away

TRANSATLANTIC RvRRGREENs

Evergreens are plants which
hold their foliage in winter. They
fall naturally into two great
groups: those bearing cones. as
the pines. spruces and thujas; and
the broadleaf kind which do not
bear cones and are represented in
several different botanical orders
notably hollies. boxwood. noun
tain laurel and rhododendrons
The first step towards establish
ing a successful evergreen, plant
ing consists of correct choice OF
species and kinds adapted for the
particular purpose required. Gil
mate. aspect location and soil con-
ditions must all receive due con-
sideration.
The ideal time for transplanting
evergreens is in August or early
September That is true because at
this time growth slows down
somewhat and If transplanted they
will be thoroughly established in
their new quarters when cold
weather comes.
