ROSE HOUSE. 



A subscriber in North Carolina 

 asks: "Can I join a house to grow 

 roses in the rear? The rear wall is 

 seven feet high. Have intended to 

 take the wall out and have the short 

 span to the south. The other house 

 has the long span to the south. How 

 shall I arrange the benches? House 

 will be 20 feet wide. Location in the 

 south." 



The above is not very explicit. By 

 location I think is meant that it is in 

 the south. If the whole roof is taken 

 off the present house and it is con- 

 verted into a short span to the south 

 then you can attach another house of 

 any form in the rear. But unless 

 ground is very valuable is it not much 

 better to go back another 15 feet and 

 build a detached house? I think it 

 would be more satisfactory in every 

 way. 



In a 20-foot house, inside measure 

 (that is, from outside to outside of 

 posts), I would have three benches, 

 each a little more than 5 feet wide. 

 and three paths, one against each wall 

 and one in the middle. This is the 

 best arrangement for short-span-to 

 south or equal span. WM. SCOTT. 



CLEANING TOMATO SEED. 



The seed growers of Erfurt, (jer- 

 many, clean their tomato seed with 

 very little labor by the following 

 method: 



The pulp, being scooped out, is 

 placed in a sieve, the mesh of which 

 does not allow the seeds to pass 

 through. The sieve is then placed in 

 water, and the pulp is rubbed through 

 the mesh of the sieve by means of the 

 hand. In a short time, the pulp all 

 being rubbed away, the seed remains 

 perfectly freed from it. In the same 

 way melon and such seeds may be 

 cleaned.
