"VWTATERBURY CONUNDRUMS. [ In reply to our advertisement calling for Conundrums, Acrostics, &c. for our Golden Waterbury Competition, we received some hundreds of communications, all possessing more or less merit—chiefly less. In weeding out the latter we purpose giving each contributor a meed of publicity, and having thus disposed of the least meritorious we shall publish a score of the best in the chief newspapers of the colony, and invite the public to nominate the winning Conundrum by a postcard ballot. Due notice will be given, and the prize sent to and acknowledged by the author selected by the public. A. AY., leather merchant, Auckland, sends us:— " AA rhy is a AVaterbury AVatch like the sun ? " Answer: "Because it keeps the best of time." A neat answer, and in nowise discreditable to tho watch or the sun. There are half a dozen other points of resemblance which our contributor overlooks: Both are universal, both in the ascendant, neither ever sets, both indispensable, both reliable, both supreme in their respective orbits. The sun is the centre of tho solar system, lesser planets revolving round it, just as other watches revolve round tho AVaterbury. THE season for planting spring flowering bulbs having now arrived, I take an early opportunity of reminding my patrons of the fact that early autumn planting is imperative for a brilliant display of these harbingers of spring. Usually planting is delayed until winter, when the soil is cold and wet, thus giving the bulbs little or no chance to make the amount of roots necessary to produce robust flowers. Those who saw my spring bulbs when in bloom last season were amazed at the luxuriant - growth and the strength of the flowers, especially growing in such an exposed position as they were, unprotected from tho severe south-west gales so prevalent in spring. Success was principally duo to early autumn planting and discarding such varieties as were found to produce poor flowers or foliage. My immense collection (the largest in the colony) were never harvested in better condition, and my customers can rely that none but strong, healthy bulbs will be supplied. — George Matthews, Bulb Grower, Moray place and Mornington.
