will attain to much larger dimensions. 

 The flowers not only terminate the ends 

 of the branches, but are also disposed 

 in dense clusters in the axils of most of 

 the leaves of the previous year's growth, 

 thus forming long, dense racemes of 

 flowers. Seeds are produced in abun- 

 dance, and these furnish a ready means 

 of propagation. The seedlings usually 

 flower freely when about three years olfl. 



SOLIDAGO Shokti is 80 good and flow- 

 ers so freely that one feels inclined to 

 include it among the best twenty "back 

 row" border plants. It is a vigorous 

 species, growing six feet high and bear- 

 ing spiraea-like, plumy inflorescences of 

 a soft yellow color. The lateral branches 

 of this inflorescence are nearjy two feet 

 long, and so vigorous is it that one may 

 cut a huge sheaf of flowers from one 

 plant. 



Caroline Testout is said to be one 

 of the best varieties of roses for culture 

 in the vicinity of smoky towns. 



The obwnaey " mealy bug, which is 

 very abundant and injurious, is destroyed 

 in its adult stage by a single fumiga- 

 tion with hydrocyanic acid gas, but to 

 be absolutely free from this pest it is 

 well to repeat the operation every ten 

 days, so as to destroy newly hatched in- 

 sects. 



It is interesting to recall that on May 

 20, 1804. seeds of dahlias were receiveil 

 in London from which plants were

raised and flowered the same year, and 

 that ever since the dahlia has been un- 

 interruptedly cultivated in British gar- 

 dens. 



Supposing that some readers may be 

 unaware of the behavior of Incarvillea 

 Delavayi after it has flowered abun- 

 dantly in any one year, it may be well 

 to observe that a large number of the 

 plants 80 flowering fail to grow in the 

 next year. Cases have occurred in the 

 writer's experience. In one instance, all 

 the plants that flowered one season re- 

 mained dormant the whole of the next 

 year, and the gardener concluded they 

 were dead. I informed him in all prob- 

 ability the plants would restart the next 

 year, and so it turned out.
