SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there Is a hoBse that is Jast 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 Hcattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied shoald not be 

 excessive, as the soot Is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply Just enoDgh to blscketi 

 the surface of the soil In the beocbea, 

 and let It go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too mnch all at once.
