Sells at Prices Par Above Chrysanthemums Because of
Brilliant Crimson, Decidedly Richer Shade
Than Found in Jacqueminot.
WELL, WHY NOT?
So much has been said, pro and con,
about this dahlia, that I would like to
clear the atmosphere. Instances have
been brought to my notice where a
distinctly different variety was suld
for Jack Rose; the old question of prop-
erly growing and handling the blooms
has also a great deal to do with this,
as with any other flower, writes L. K.
Peacock of Berlin, N. J., in Gardening.
Last fall Jack Rose was condemned
by a great many who had seen flowers
from certain sources, and on seeing
blooms grown by us could hardly con-
ceive them to be the same variety. It
was certificated by the Pennsylvania
Horticultural society after having
been critically examined and passed
upon by expert committees at bctfh
the September and October meetings.
It was then pronounced the finest
crimson dahlia on the market, cut
blooms selling for six dollars per 100
blooms.
Now, after another year's growing,
during which we had several acres,
after one year's experience under ad-
verse conditions, in the face of the
perfect tiowers produced by competent
growers In probably the worst season
we have experienced in the last 25
years with the exception perhaps of
1895.
Another thing not to be forgotten is
the forcing quality of Jack Rose,
which is even to-day being placed on
the market and sold at prices far
above chrysanthemums, as it has that
brilliant rich crimson that appeals to
all, and cannot be found in the
chrysanthemum; a decidedly richer
shade than found even in Jacqueminot
rose.
Perhaps one of Its best qualities is
largely responsible for the criticism
of the color, and I wish to say most
emphatically. It does not bleach one-
fourth as badly as Lyndhurst, and yet
Lyndhurst is the standard vermilion
scarlet. Lindhurst is inclined to show
the open center if allowed to get old
enough to fade, but Jack Rose con-
tinues to unfold for days, until finally

FAMOUS DOCTOR'S

LASTING LOVE.
They strolled down the old lane.
"And do you really love me,
George?" she asked for the tenth
time.
"Love you!" he echoed, heroically.
"1 love you and always Bhall love you,
my pet."
"You really mean that?"
"Yes, 1 shall love you until the sky
falls."
"Oh, George!"
"Yes, until the sun falls."
"Gracious. George!"
"Even until the price of beefsteak
falls."
Bidding him to say no more, she
placed her slender hand within his
own and they strolled away to the
nearest parsonage.
Jimmy Crow—Say, maw!
Mrs. Crow—Yes, my son.
Jimmy Crow—If files can fly, wh;
can't crows crow?
WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE
"I began to have an Itching over mj
whole body about seven years ago and
•this settled in my limb, from the knee
•to the-toes. I went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there. I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
'Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be-
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
"I had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

"Mrs. Bertha Sachs Is my sister-in-
law and I know well how she suffered
and was cured by Cuticura Reme-
dies after many other treatments
failed. Morris Sachs, 321 E. 89th St.,

A Point for Willie.
A Capitol hill woman went out in
the garage back of her home the
other afternoon and found her ten-
year-old son playing cards for pennies
with a neighbor boy.
"Why, Willie," she said, "what are
you doing—gambling?"
"We're jist playin' cards with that
new deck you won over at Mrs. Ma-
fcon's playin' bridge last week," replied
the boy.
The woman picked up the cards and
W'ent back into the bouse. She had
nothing to say.
I antalizing.
The suburbanite was struggling
through snowdrifts up to his neck.
"Maria," he sputtered, when he
could regain his breath, "why don't
you come out here and take these
bundles? I suppose if you saw me
floundering out here all day you would
merely stand there and call uie a lob-
ster."
"No, Indeed, John," laughed his
wile irom the door of the bungalow,
"if I saw you floundering all day 1
would call you a flounder."
THERE YOU ARE.
Dahlia Jack Rose.
we can only add to the praise ex-
I tended by us last year. It was the
i healthiest plant we had on the place,
j the first to get into bloom, and every
i flower was perfect the entire season;
which, in our location, was a most
i trying one, owing to the extended
drought.
I In justice to the many florists and
I seedsmen who have stocked up on
! Jack Rose, it is only fair to say that
| no attention should be paid to detri-
mental remarks made by inexperi-
j enced growers, or even experienced
growers, who only know the variety
there is nothing left at the center,
being absolutely full, and even then
the petals which have become some-
what bleached can be removed and it
is still a perfect flower. If Jack Rose i
blooms were cut in the same condi- I
tion and with the same regularity as
Lyndhurst, there would be no com- j
plaint that the color was not every-
thing that could be desired. The only
criticism made on Jack Rose has been !
length of stem and color, and, as I {
am only answering the criticism, I am |
not extolling the other merits of j
the flower.

"Well," said the leading man as he
appeared behind the scenes at the
drop of the curtain, "how did the new
play take?"
"Sentiment is somewhat divided,"
responded the manager. "One-half of
the audience is outside talking about
the execution of the play."
"And the other half?"
"Oh, they are on the Inside talking
about the execution of the actors."

An Infallible Sign.
"Yes," mused the thoughtful think-

To obtain a good stand of grain it is
necessary to use the largest and
plumpest grain for seed. Small or
shrunken grain gives weak plants,
many of which will fall to mature In
en unfavorable season. A sudden
change in temperature, a prolonged
drought or a slight frost is more like-
ly to destroy the weak plants than
the strong. The Increased yield at
harvesting time Is quite a considera-
tion. In the illustration the heavy and
light samples of barley A, B, C, and D
produced plants as Indicated with cor-
responding letters above.
Germinating Seeds.
Garden seeds germinate quicker and
better when soaked in warm water
before planting. This is especially
noticeable with seeds having thick and
heavy seed-coats.

"How so?"
"Because they depend, so to speak,

"I never could understand why they
name sleeping cars as they do."
"Nor could I. I've never been able

Britain's Rulers.
Mr. Lloyd-George is pleasantly
proud of his nationality, but it is ama-
zing that he had to go back to Queen
Elizabeth and the Tudors to find his-
torical precedence for a Welsh gov-
ernment of Great Britain. On the
other hand, England has often been
ruled by Scotsmen. Of the last three
premiers, two—Sir Henry Campbell-
Bannerman and Mr. Balfour—were
Scotch. Mr. Gladstone sat for a
Scotch constituency, and so does Mr.
A8qulth. Ireland has always been
busy supplying us with governing
men. The Duke of Wellington, Lord
Roberts, Lord Charles Beresford,
Lord Russell and a dozen others
immediately occur to me. It is odd
to remember that it is centuries since
Great Britain had a purely English
sovereign. The Tudors were Welsh.

A Small Loaf.
A half-famished fellow In the south-
ern states tells of a baker (whose
loaves had been growing "smaller by
degrees and beautifully less") who,
when going his rounds to serve his
customers, stopped at the door of one
and knocked, when the lady within ex-
claimed: "Who's there?" and was
answered: "The baker." What do
you want?" "To leave your bread."
"Well ,you needn't make such a fuss
about it; put it through the keyhole."
