AMARYLLIS WITH 81

Unusual Plant Is On Display at
Agricultural Department
Show.

The most interesting amarylliS
plant ever on exhibition here was
yesterday added to the collection
of 1850 bulbs being shown at the
Agriculture Departments twenty first
annual amaryllis show. 1t is a parent
bulb with several offshoots. carrying
80 flowers on the one plant. Most of
the other plants in the show carry
from 3 to 10 flowers.
Dr. Knowles A. Ryerson. chief of
the Bureau of Plant Industry, under
whose supervision the show is being
conducted, has been complimented by
Secretary Wallace and other officials
of the department. A delegation of
the leading florists organizations in
the country-several from South
America, native habitat of the
knights Star Lily or amaryllis-
have assured DR.. Ryerson that this is
the greatest amaryllis show ever held
anywhere in the world For wider
variety of coloring and stalk and
petal formation it outrankS any other
show. 1t is different" in that the
specialists of the department have
grown each plant as a distinctive
seeding, experimenting with control
of color shades, petal markings and
size and shape of the flowers.
Several years ago the department
produced the first white amaryllis
ever shown. For the past two years
the special study and experimentation
has been for shades of yellow, with
the result that there are several score
of new yellow-shaded blooms on ex-
hibition for the first time.

until it became a case for
calling out the militia. And,
when dragged out into action,
there were subtle forms of sab
otage such as losing a pump or
laceratnig the insteps of our
partners, which soon broke
down the opposition and sent
us back to the lockers in tri-
umph.
Following the dancing-school
period came the parties where
someone, after supper, was al
ways rolling back the rugs and
turning on the gramophone.
The minute 1 saw a rug be-
ing so much as turned up at
one corner, I was out on the
porch like a wild, hunted

dead of winter, and, many a
night, have stood jammed
against a water spout in the
dark, while searching parties
brushed by me with blood
hounds.
It wasn't so much that they
wanted me to dance, as it was
their vicious determination that,
at a party, nobody shall ever
be let off anything. There is

So, when astronomers tell us

with a confident smile and
order scrambled eggs and bacon.

A Pleasant Relief

The public school system coming in for lot of attention

In school the parents threaten to take their children

In the high schools there strong bit of tension because

talk of student strike.
Reports drift in of youngsters in the schools subscribing
to Red propaganda and proposing to tell their teachers
and the school authorities how to the system.

Dancing Memories
By Robert BenchLey

Somehow I do not thrill to the
idea that ''every form of life is
dancing to celestial music" as
a well-known but giddy-minded
astronomer has stated. Aside
from presenting a rather ludi-
crous picture, it is too firing to
think of. I don't like to dance,
and 1 won't dance, celestial
music or no celestial music!
It seems as if a greater part
of my life has been spent in
avoiding dancing. When I was
little, I used to feign measles
and fallen arches on Saturday
afternoon when the dread time
came to put the patent leather
pumps into the green baize bag
and toddle off to dancing
school. 1 had some pretty clever
ruses up my sleeve, but there
is no record of their ever having
worked.
Incidentally, believe that the

vailed at the turn of the Gen.

called in, given a hot bath in

crowded into a black suit,
merely to spend a sunny after
noon indoors with a bunch of
