After the flow- ers are gone the bulbs may be ripened by remoa ing from the ground to dry or by covering up the bed to keep out the moisture The bulbs should be re-set to- wards the latter part of July. "Interested," writes: Will you please tell me what is wrong with my Aspidistra--~ hy the leaves that have grown up tall all split, and why all the new leaves that come up now have taken to be be so short- They un- fold so quickly and do not grow at all. Answer: The leaves have most likely been knocked by people passing by, especially when they are young and tender. As the young leaves lack vigor the plant evidently needs dividing and re- potting. Turfy soil two parts sand and leaf soil one part, make up a good soil mixture. Febru- ary or early blarch is a good time to repot. This plant, when well rooted needs a lot of water in the summer and comparative- ly little in the winter. C. B. G., writes: I am think- ing of planting a hedge round my garden, I want one that will grow strong and quickly. I thought perhaps Privet would be most suitable. Answer: You would probably find Privet the best plant for your purpose. It will make a hedge sooner than anything else. Make sure you get the oval- Ieaved Privet (Ligustrum ova- lifolium). It is rather hard to'rite a- bout gardening when practical- ly all the flowers are gone, nat- ure is at rest and thoughts turn to Christmas time and the shop- ping list. However, we believe our readers may be interested in the culture of some of our nicest flowers. Accordingly the next few articles will deal with some of them. The Anemone or windflower is one of our most hardy and at- tractive border and flower gar- den plans. There are approxi- mately one hundred species of the genus, all hardy perennials many of which are noted for their foliage. They are for the most pare natives of the North Temperate and mountainous re- gions. They do well in almost any garden soil, but of course give better results in a rich soil, preferably sandy. A little bone meal will materially help. The tuberous rooted varieties are the most suitable for hardy borders, while the other varie- ties are suited to the rockery. A. coronaria is one of the best varieties for indoor culture. The same culture as for tulips will prove satisfactory for this flow- er. About four months is re- t,uired after planting to produce indoor bloom. Practically all of the species may be propagated by both root division and seed. The roots should be divided before growth starts in the spring, while the Only a few more days remain for mailing parcels to the old country if they are to be deliv- ered before Christmas. All mail and parcels for delivery in Great Britain and Europe must be mailed here before the end of this month to connect with S.S. Montcalm from St. John on 7th December. lz, Igl„"II„'.

Your attendance is respectfully requested. )Vest Bay has been granted a post office, and the name is "Wadsley." The choice of this name will come as somewhat of a shock to the people of AVest Bay and EVest Vancouver gener- ally. The matter came up before the board of trade at the meet- ing held last 31onday, and was turned over to Harry Hodgson and Secretary Harrison for in- vestigation and action with a view to having the post office named "AVest Bay," "AVest Bay Beach," "SVest Bay View," or some other name acceptable to the people of the district and more descriptive of the section which the office will serve. whilst the fact of the establish- ment of the post office is not yet generally known, those who have heard of it are decidedly antagonistic to the name AUad- sley, it being felt that this is in no way illustrative of the dis- t.. t.&nd that its adoption would be a tenu~... to submerge the already well knoi~ "" p of West Bay. bliss ~lorris, who has been sworn in as postmistress, could give no information why the name EVadsley had been chosen. The official postal directory, which contains the names of all post offices in Canada up to and including 31st December last, shows four places named as fol- lows: EVest Bay; West Bay Cen- tre; West Bay Road; all in Nova Scotia, and )Vest Beach in B. C. It appears that the postal offici- als refuse to give the same name to two places in the one province. That, of course, can readily be understood. This, however, can not be the reason for refusing the name West Bay in B. C., for there is no other post office list- ed under this name. Representations will be made to the postal authorities for the cancellation of AVadsley and the substitution of West Bay.

CAPILANO TllllBER COilPANY LIAIITED FISH REFUSE ON L BEACH AT SHERiiIAN'S The sanitary inspector report- ed to the council re disposal of fish refuse from the cannery at Sherman's. He had investi- gated one complaint and found that at the time the cannery was not operating and that conse- quently he had come to the con- clusion that the refuse must have drifted in from the sea aft- er being dumped in the bay by some other cannery operating in the city. He had communicated with the Vancouver Harbor Mas- ter and had threatened to prose- cute any of the city canneries or fish companies caught dump- ing refuse inside the line be- tiveen Point Grey and Point At- kinson or on an incoming tide. As regards the second complaint he had found that a certain por- tion of offal and fish heads had been dumped or had fallen through a trap door in the fioor of the cannery and had conse- quently drifted on to the beach. The cannery manager had stat- ed that all his refuse went out to a reducing plant with the ex- ception of a small amount ivhich was occasionally brushed off the floor into the ivater and under- neath the cannery. He had iii- formed him that this practice must cease. Airs. Cramond divas advised by the council that the matter of fish refuse polluting the shore at Sherman's had been investi- gated and that all the known sources of the annoyance had been stopped.
