GARDENING. 



Oct. 



Gardening is in my estimation the best 

 paper of the kind published. H. B. C. 



Woburn, Mass. 



A Pennsyly.\nia subscriber, sending 

 two new subscriptions with h s renewal, 

 says, "I hope the two new named per- 

 sons will enjoy and gain as much from 

 your delightlul paper as I do; even my 

 little children are looking to it for infor- 

 mation." 



My Atratum Lii.v.— 1 must tell you 

 about it. I planted a bulb last spring, 

 which 1 thought hardly worth planting 

 as it was small, mouldy and shrivelled, 

 but to my surprise it threw up a stalk 

 lij feet iti height with five flower buds, 

 which were six inches long before thej' 

 opened, all opened perfect, and were the 

 largest lily flowers \ eversaw. J. E H. 



Two Rivers, Wis. 



Covering roses with sand.— I had 

 ours covered that way last winter and 

 they came out fine in the spring With 

 sand one need not be afraid ot mice, and 

 the plants can be left covered up till the 

 middle of April without any injury which 

 is of great value here on our western 

 l)rairies, where the disagreeable north 

 winds in spring so often play havoc with 

 our roses. Jas. Jenso.s. 



Humboldt Park, Chicago. 



.\ Massachusetts subscriber, sending 

 liis renewal and anorderforall the bound 

 volumes ot Gardening, says: "I lost a 

 few numbers some time ago, and my 

 neighbors like it so well they forget to 

 return them and I want it complete. * * 

 In Mr. Falconer you have one of the 

 kindest and best men I ever came across; 

 I had occasion to write him several times, 

 and he has answered all questions so full)' 

 and been so very kind that as long as he 

 contniues with the paper it can't help 

 being a 'howling success.' "
