CAMPHOR AND CUTTINGS. 



The following note on the use of cam- 

 phor for assisting the germination of 

 seeds and the growth of cuttings will be 

 of interest. It is taken from the Dic- 

 tionary of the Economic Products of 

 India. "Mr. T. W. Lee, writing ini the 

 Journal of Agriculture, says that most 

 seeds are greatly hastened in their 

 germination by being soaked, previous 

 to sowing, in soft w^ater, to a pint of 

 which a lump of camphor about the size 

 of a large nut has been added. Mr. Lee 

 tried this experiment on many vegetable 

 seeds, such as peas, beans, etc., as well 

 as palms, castoroil seeds, and various 

 other tropical seeds, which have very 

 hard seed coats, many of which would 

 require soaking in water for a long time 

 before they would otherwise show signs 

 of germination hut which with the addi- 

 tion of camphor sprout easily and rap- 

 idly. This same fact may be taken ad- 

 vantage of in stimulating cuttings of 

 roses or other plants sent from one 

 country to another. Eose cuttings, for 

 example, posted in England, carry safely 

 to India, and the stimulation caused by 

 dipping their freshly-cut ends in cam- 

 phor water, helps greatly to enable them 

 to take root when placed in the soil." — 

 Oardeners ' Chronicle. 



Midland, Ont. — W. G. Winfred was 

 frozen up last fall by reason of the fail- 

 ure to get his heating apparatus in- 

 stalled in time in some new houses, and 

 is now in need of assistance in the way 

 of cuttings, etc., to enable him to make 

 a new start. 



BOSE Hill, N. Y. — John Vry, who has 

 for some years been with P. B. Mills, has 

 removed to Lakeland, Minn. 



For the florist and grower the Review 

 cannot be beaten. — L. M. Gage, Bristol,
