It has been- suted by-- -3|>»ni8h writers that it one remains under its shade fur a few hours or sleetts there death is likely to follow, or that even if the unfortunate escapes death the body TvlU become a mass of running sores. The deleterious properties of the shade of this tree have, however, been greatly exaggerated, and as for the actual poisonous effect of the leaves and shade considerable diver- sity of opinion still exists, as is the case with the poison ivy of the States. The small, apple-shaped fruits have tempted many a stranger to a much- regretted meal. As recently as the summer of 1916 an officer of a Dutch steamer had a narrow escape from serious poisoning, emetics and stom- ach pumps alone saving bis life. Soma 32 years ago 54 members of the crew of a German ship were taken to the local hospital all very sick from having eaten the fruit of the Man- zanillo. Five of this number died and the rest, after serious illness for several weeks, recovered. As is the case with the question of the leaves and shade, there are many accounts of the effect of the fruit. To quote from one writer ".\ fish which eats the fruit becomes infected, the gills i)eooniing yellow and black, and one who eats the tish in this state Is said to fall into a profound lethargy, with a general relaxation of all the limbs, according to the amount eaten." The tree when cut exudes a quan- tify of white, milky juice, in the same manner as the common rubber-tree, and to most persons this juice has the same effect as our poison-Ivy. How- ever, If this acrid milky juice reaches the delicate membrauces of the eye.

It is well, however, to make a mental survey of the garden, decide where the beds are to be made, what the shape and size is to be, estimate . the quantity of bulbs and -:â-  varieties wanted and place the order for early delivery. A little later the beds can be prepared. Turn nnder a liberal supply of stable manure if it can be had. and make the beds deep and mellow. Set tulips four or five inches apart and about live inches deep; hyacinths six to eight inches apart and about the same depth as for tulips. Cro- cuses and snowdrops are usually set two or three inches apart, and these ^ also require a depth of about four orj five inches. Where the soil is rich and deep a pleasing effect is produced by s'ettins the bed full of bulbs so closely to- gether that there will scarcely be any space between them. i Careful planters make the beds ear- 1 ly â€" that is, dig them up and work in the fertilizer and allow the beds to settle. At planting time four or five inches of the soil is removed, leaving a level surface on which to set the bulbs. To fill the bed with bulbs first set a row of early flowering tulips, such as Pottebakker scarlet, crimson scarlet or .\rtus, bright red. Set these six to eight inches apart. When the row . of early tulips has been set in place ! set between each bOlb of early tulip-s and in the same row a bulb of some Darwin tulip of a dilTerent color, such as Clara Butt, a soft pink. In placing the second row set the Darwin tulips first, so the Darwin tulips in the sec- ond row will be in the same position as the early tulips in the first row, a ' Darwin tulip in the second row placed exactly in front of an early tulip in the first row. When the Darwin tulips have been placed in the second row set an early tulip in the same row be- tween the Darwins, so the early tu- lips in the second row will bo exactly in front of the Darwins in the first row. The first two rows of tulips having been set, placte between the rows and between the bulbs in the rows crocus bulbs, and then tuck in as many snow- I drops and scilla siberica as there is I room for between the crocuses.
