nd more rapid grower. The
foliage is beautiful, showing a sheen like changeable silk. Ours is now
in a three-gallon pail, has four stems, one 27 inches high from top of
bucket, has five large panicles of bloom, as large as man's hand, and
has not been without bloom since the 20th of June. One bunch of bloom
will hang on in fine condition for six weeks, if the plant is not
disturbed. It is the admiration of all who see it. This specimen was 12
inches high when we placed it in the Begonia bed the 22nd, of May. There
it grew and grew, until the first of September when it was placed in a
pail, and since then it has grown and blossomed almost like the famous
gourd. The soil is old swamp dirt, with one-fourth wood soot. No insects
have ever bothered it. We spray the leaves with warm water to cleanse
the lovely foliage and water the plant with very warm water. Try this
Begonia, it is a fine one.--_E. Clearwaters._

_Editor Mayflower:_

Seldom you see anything written about the good old fashioned Zinnias.
How our grandmothers prided themselves on their summer flowers as they
called them. Then why should we push them off for something new because
they have been cultivated so many years. They should be held up as the
old songs of long ago are being sung to-day. Zinnias are easily grown.
Make a bed of good rich soil and the last of April or the first of May
plant your seed, then keep the weeds out, water in the dry season, and
you will have a nice bed of flowers until frost. They are among the
hardiest annual plants raised and any flower lover can raise them with
but little care.--_Sunflower._

Cancer of the Breast--How Mrs. Elizabeth
Worley's Life Was
Saved.

Warnock, O., April 28, 1904.

Dr. D. M. Bye Co., Indianapolis, Ind.

DEAR DOCTORS--I will write you again to let you know I am well and doing
my own work. There is no sign of the cancer coming back. You have cured
me of a cancer that four other cancer doctors told me I never could be
cured of. May God bless you in your good work. If I never meet you on
this earth I hope to meet you in Heaven.

Respectfully,

ELIZABETH WORLEY.
