 oflfice in tlie United States or Canada; but do not 

 throw your plants away if most of the leaves ap- 

 pear yellow and the roots quite dry. Put the plants 

 in a pail of water, which you should take into the 

 field with you; takeout one plant at a time; put It 

 into freahiy worked soil, pack the fine earth closely 

 around the rnuts. not the stalk; draw a handful of 

 soft earth an)und- the plants, over the .soil you 

 packed down around the roots. Do not water unless 

 very dry; do not hoe until after a rain or until tlie 

 plant has commenced to send out new leaves, and 

 you need lose st-arcely a single plant out of the 

 average one hundred sent you.
