 added ease of culture and quick and ample responses in 

 flowers, it is explained why the rose has been aptly termed 

 "The Queen of Flowers." In our collection of flowering- and 

 ornamental shrubs, it occupies first place; hence we have been 

 careful to always have on hand a large stock of only the most 

 vigorous plants, and only those sorts producing freely

The failure of pot plants indoors 

 or on porches is due to excessive 

 watering. It is not necessary to 

 have plants soaked to keep them 

 growing. When soil is dry water- 

 ing should be thorough. Fill the 

 pot full, and repeat several times, 

 and do not water again for a week, 

 particularly in winter; more fre- 

 quent waterings are necessary in 

 summer. It is excess of water, 

 (keeping soil water logged) which 

 causes plants to turn yellow or die.
