tended skin, insipid and tasteless. By and 

 by, a greenish mould is developed on the 

 surface of the blighted fruit, then the sur- 

 face becomes black and shrivelled, and at 

 the expiration of a month from the time of 

 flowering, the whole are rotten and decom- 

 posed. The flower appears about the be- 

 ginning of June, and before August there 

 is hardly a Plum to be seen. It is curious 

 that where two flower-stalks arise from one 

 point of the branch, one will often go on to 

 ripen in the normal way, while the other 

 will become abortive, as before described. 

 In a specimen described by Mr. Berkeley, 

 there were two distinct ovules of equal size 

 close to the apex of the fruit, connected with 

 the base by vessels running down the walls." 

 Prof. Bailey, in Horticulturist's Rule 

 Book, gives this as a remedy: Destroy the 



Piuni PocheU or Bladders. 



"bladders" before they mature, together 

 with small portions of the wood on which 

 they are borne. 



As the fungus is superficial, we believe 

 that its growth may be checked by the 

 timely application of sulphur, or perhaps 

 with soliations of sulphide of potassum, one 

 quarter onnce to the gallon of water. The 

 copper solutions might also be given a trial. 



2,100. Butterfly Flower. A year ago I had built 

 a small conservatory six by eight in a jog of my 

 dwelling, and have found much delight in my 

 ability to grow many plants that were hardly 

 suited to window sill culture. One plant I wish 

 particularly to speak of is the Schizanthus or 

 Butterfly flower, an old-fashioned annual suited 

 to pot culture, and which surprised me by its 

 beauty and uniqueness. This plant I raised from 

 seed, which I sowed in mid-summer a year ago, 

 placing Ave seeds iu a three inch pot. After the 

 seedlings were up tbey were thinned to two 

 plants in a pot. Before the roots got much 

 crowded I transferred the balls of earth to six 

 inch pots, and in these the plants flowered. The 

 pots were given a place near the glass, and the 

 plants received only ordinary attention. Bloom 

 began to appear in March, and for sl.x weeks the 

 plants were the prettiest floral sight imaginable. 

 The flowers of purplish, white anil yellow colors, 

 have the appearance of small butterflies. Here- 

 alter I shall not be without my pots of Schizan- 

 thus.— I/at<?-a Newcome, Middlesei- Co., Maes. 



2,.500. Transplanting Hardy Boaes. For the 

 climate of Ohio we belle\'e we would prefer to 

 reset hardy Roses Just after leaf fall in autumn. 

 Then we would protect them well for winter by 

 covering the surface about the roots with straw, 

 soil, sods or branches, providing some protection 

 also to the tops. To transplant Roses success- 

 fully in the spring, the work should be done as 

 early as possible after the soil is in a tillable con- 

 dition. Rose bushes rather object to being hand- 

 led after the leaves push iu the spring. 



2,4!i8. Shade Trees Aronnd Sack Fond. Any 

 of the Willows and Alders will be suitable for 

 the purpose. We would mention especially the 

 Golden and Shining-leaved Willows.— G. H.
