A GOOD FERTILIZER. 



The stems and atoeks of tobacco whi(?h 

 are waste products in manufactures are 

 rich in potash. They contain from six 

 to seven per cent of potash and about two 

 per cent nitrogen, with about one-half 

 of one per cent of phosphoric acid. It 

 thus could reaJly be termed a complete 

 fertilizer in itself. For best results the 

 stems should be finely ground before ap- 

 plication. H. J. Patterson. 



NERINES. 



This is one of the most beautiful 

 greenhouse bulbs we have. It is quite 

 easy to grow, and anyone with a cool 

 house ought not to be without it. It 

 is quite distinct from the amaryllis, and 

 quite the reverse in its growth, as it 

 makes its growth in winter. The bulbs 

 can be purchased in August just as the 

 flower-spike is about to appear. These 

 should be potted in a nice open com- 

 post, two parts good loam, one of leaf 

 soil, and a dash of sand. They are bulbs 

 that do not require to be potted very of- 

 ten, for the less they are disturbed the 

 better they like it. After they have done 

 flowering and if they are making plenty 

 of growth they should be frequently wa- 

 tered with manure water so as to get a 

 good strong bulb for the following year. 

 By the end of April or early in May the 

 foliage will begin to turn yellow, which 

 is a sign they are going to rest, and wa- 

 ter should be gradually withheld. After 

 the foliage has all died down, they should 

 be stood in a cold frame in the full sun 

 so as to ensure a good ripening. They 

 are propagated by ofTset-, and these 

 should be grown on under the same treat- 

 ment as established bulbs, or they can 

 be grown from seed, but this, of course, 

 is a long process, as in most cases with 

 bulbs. Some of the best species are N. 

 Fothergilli, N. sarniensis, N. sarniensis 

 corusca, N. Plantii, and K. rosea. A lot 

 has been done of late years to bring them 

 to the front by hybridizing, and these 

 in many cases surpass the species both 

 in size and color. Some of the best are 

 Countess Bathurst, Lady Lawrence, Lady 

 Lucy Hicks-Beach, Lady Mary Shelley, 

 and Miss Wilmott. Nerines last in bloom 

 a long time and are very useful for dec- 

 orative purposes; and without a doubt 

 they are one of the best classes of the 

 South African bulbs.— Gardeners' World.
