carefully watered in order not to sour the soil. In the 

 preparation of the receptacles for the seed, a little gravel 

 in the bottom will be found good, as the roots work very 

 freely through it, and when the time comes to separate 

 the plants previous to potting, it is an easy matter to 



disentangle the loots without Ijruismg them Probably 

 the plan which woiks best is to wash the soil ind gia\el 

 entirely from among the lootb Pot in soil not too drv, 

 and for the next few days keep the house eitia warm 

 and humid, and the plants shaded fiora the sun without 

 any moisture applied to the soil for the first few days.

There are over one hundred books about the Chrysan- 

 themuni, and its magazine literature is probably ex- 

 ceeded in bulk only by that of the rose. It is the flower 

 of the east, as the rose is the flower of the west. Aside 

 from oriental literature, there were 83 books mentioned
