SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there is a house that i« Jnat 

 fnll of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not t>e 

 excessive, as the soot is very stronc 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply Just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil in the benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too much all at once.
