DAPHNE ODORA. 



Some few individuals of this old and 

 fragrant species which flowers about 

 Christmas, should be found in every 

 greenhouse. The plant is generally grafted 

 on stocks of D. laui-eola in March, though 

 I have been fairly successful in growing 

 them on their own roots by putting in 

 during September slips 3 inches long, with 

 a heel of older wood, in a mixture of 

 sandy peat and loam, in thumb-pots. The 

 slips should be placed against the side 

 of the pot, afforded water, and put under 

 a bell-glass in the greenhouse. They may 

 take longer to form roots than in heat, 

 but the plants are stronger and not so 

 liable to decay; moreover, the plants 

 are longer lived on their own roots than 

 grafted plants. At Bicton the plant is 

 used to cover a greenhouse back wall, 

 where they succeed admirably, not being 

 crowded with other plants; and for this 

 purpose grafted plants are preferable, as 

 they grow stronger. Nice little bushy 

 specimens can be grown in 7-inch pots, 

 in loam and peat in equal proportions, 

 with enough silver sand and a small 

 quantity of powdered brick-bat as will 

 give porosity, potting firmly. Frequent 

 repotting should be avoided so long as 

 a plant is healthy. 



Water must be applied only when it is 

 wanted, as ill-health quickly" follows ex- 

 cess of moisture at the root; and ma- 

 nures should be avoided. ' In the month 

 of July, plants in pots are the better 

 for being placed outdoors and gradually 

 inured to full sunshine, plunged in a bed 

 of coal-ashes.— J. MajTie, in Gardeners' 

 Chronicle. 



VALUABLE INFORMATION. 



Is everything that appears in the daily 

 papers as far away from the facts as the 

 following, which appeared in a New 

 York daily at Easter time? 



PRICES OF EASTEK BLOOMS FOR RICH AND 

 POOR rOLK.S. 



WHAT THE RICH PAY. 



I.llk'S in pots $1.50 



Roses, per dozen 25.00 



Ilyaciutba in pots 5.00 



WHAT THE POOR PAY. 



Lilies in pots 15 



Roses, apiece 05 



Hyacinths in pots 10 



It well illustrates the knowledge pos- 

 sessed by some of the daily paper 

 "critics" on plant values. The striving 

 after the sensational becomes idiotic 

 when indulged in by the ignorant space 

 writer who doesn't know a geranium 

 from a hyacinth. But who can tell how 

 much damage such statements do the 

 trade? Austin. 



DUTY ON HOLLY BRANCHES. 



By a decision of the United States 

 general appraisers at New York, April 

 12, 1P02, holly branches with the leaves 

 and berries attached are entitled to en- 

 try as "Vegetable substances, crude or 

 unmanufactured," under paragraph 617, 

 and are free of duty. The collector had 

 classed them as cuttings of ornamental 

 trees and collected 25 per cent, ad va- 

 lorem. His classification was overruled 

 on protest to the appraisers by the im- 

 porters.
