 Nephrolepis exaltata known as the Bos-

 that each has the appearance of the full 

 frond in miniature, giving a beautiful

Beetles and cockroaches:— To extermi- 

 nate bettles and cockroaches no small 

 amount of patience and persistence is 

 necessary. There are several arsenical 

 preparations to be obtained, and these 

 are effective tor a tew nights, but the 

 pests soon fight shy o£ the traps, and 

 some new ones have to be laid to insure 

 any measure of success. As an at.r- 

 native to the foregoing, rni-x some arse- 

 nic with honey and place small poracns 

 on pieces oC paper, laying these about 

 the floor and beds. Arsenic mixed w.th 

 boiled potato is also effective. Great 

 care must be taken that no chiidre.i nor 

 domestic animals are allowed to go near 

 these baits^ It is invariably a g od pan 

 when trappirig beetles or cockroaches to 

 pl.ace a few basins of water about the 

 house where the pests abound; the vessel 

 must be o£ glass or glazed ware, and be 

 half filled either with water or wi.h 

 water in which a little honey or sugar 

 has been mixed. One or two basins may 

 be placed on the floor witk a few strips 

 of wood, from half an inch to an in^h 

 wide, placed around and with one end 

 resting on the edge of the basin to en- 

 able the cockroaches to ascend. Glazed 

 ware effectually prevents the pests from 

 climbing out once they have fallen in. 

 As additional traps, sink one or two 

 basins in the Poor or bed so that the 

 rim is level with the surrounding sur- 

 face. These water traps are exceedingiy 

 simple but very effectual, and should 

 always be used either with or without 

 other means. 



Summer Bedders in the Zoological 

 Gardens:— Mr. Young has evidently a 

 strong affection for mixtures of pants, 

 both in beds and borders; but he shuns 

 the tasteless "mixture" that has been so 

 common in private and public "garde, s 

 during the past fifteen years cr so, and 

 he is also careful to so arrange the beds 

 that the several groups differ mate.^a y 

 from each other. In a border near the 

 entrance on the north side of the gar- 

 dens is a beautiful arrangement of fine 

 foliage plants, such as acalyphas, drac- 

 aenas, tradescantias, and other occu- 

 pants of the plant stove, and, as they 

 are all in the most robust state of 

 health, and highly colored, the effect i; 

 exceedingly rich and beautiful. In one 

 group of beds not far from tlie lion 

 house, Celosia pyramidalis is used wilh 

 much taste and judgment and the large 

 superbly developed inflorescences io 

 crimson and gold produce an impression 



not easily removed from the mind. The 

 beds were original. y devoted chiefly to vi- 

 olas, and as these began to wane the ce- 

 losias were planted among them, and as 

 these in their turn are now losing their 

 freshness they wi.l soon be lemoved to 

 make way for Madame Desgrarge and 

 other early chrysanthemums. Fuchsias 

 are freely used set in a carpet of plants 

 of lowly growth, but in every case the 

 carpeting plants have been selected with 

 due regard to the color of the flowers 

 of the fuchsias. Zonal palargoniums have 

 also been fully utilized, but these are in 

 all cases associated with plants remark- 

 able for elegance of aspect, that assist 

 to tone down the brilliant colors of the 

 flowers of the zonals. Grevillea robusta 

 is the most generally planted with the 

 pelargoniums, and the thin veil of green- 

 ery which their feathery foliage throws 

 over the brightly colored flowers is in- 

 describably beautiful. Again we find red- 

 leaved cannas and the golden privet in 

 association, and the "mixture" so pro- 

 duced is distinct and effective, the effect 

 being greatly enhanced by the rich scar- 

 let flowers of the cannas.
