We liiive hjHl oxrelloiif results witli 

 the leaf in dry powdered form by shap- 

 inji^ into conictil pihs on tin jde plates, 

 dropping a little kerosene on the apex 

 and lijrhliiin. Hy the time the oil is 

 burned the tob.ieco has become sulli- 

 eiently ignited to slowly smoulder untd 

 consumed. }^' careful not to make the 

 piles low "and s,|i;-iity lest tlie center 

 burn out. leaving- a ring of nnconsunied 

 powder. 



The term leaf .;s used above is to dis- 

 tinguish ])repai;Ui()ns thus made from 

 those in which stems are largely used. 

 The leaf being much hinhcr in nicotine 

 than ..tiM.'is. till"' .Ml\atifage in using the 

 former is ]>l.uii. ('■!•:(;. S. OsHditx. 



NECESSITY FOR THOROUGHNESS. 



It is to be jirevnined that all caiaialion 

 supports are in place liy now. if not, 

 lose no time in netting the supports in, 

 fnr you cannot get the sirtiight stem. 

 tip}ied with .a nnnd blomn th.at will 

 look you in ttm faii'. without sonu' kind 

 nf ;i su|iport tn linhl it Upright during its 



nrnWth. It is tn be s|ippiisii|. ;ils,i. that 



i'\ei\ weed has been jiiilled out and the 

 beii'hes made of an even surf;u-e. 



As to dead leaves ;it the base of the 

 plant, I (daim there should be m)ne on 

 a jilaiit now, if the jdants were i)r()i>erly 

 cleaned uj) at the time (d" lifting Irom 

 tlie field. I'.ut if there slumld be some 

 dead foliage on the jdanis now, I do not 

 beliiwf in trusting its removal to any 

 other than a xcry careful htiiid, as the 

 coN'eriiig nr skin of the stem is very easily 

 torn, thus making the plant nmch more 

 susceptible to stem-rot. 



If the plants are in a good, healthy 

 condition and the wliite roots showing 

 near the surface, a little stimuhmt in 

 the fniiii of a \ery light mulch eom[MPSud 

 of one third or one-half well rotted cow 

 inaiiiie and one h.alf soil may be spread 

 (i\i'i- the .sill t'aee to the depth of half an 

 iinli. A ligiit applicati(m of \vooil .ashes 

 ^\ill help the stems but too strong a dose 

 will residt in a great \aiiation of cnlor. 

 especially on L;iwson and the red \aiie- 

 ties. 



It goes withoul sayinu that we cannot 

 all grow prize winning i-ai nations, or 

 (Mimpeto in the iirndiiction id' line stock 

 with the large growers who make a 

 specialty f>t cat nations, but a ^reat m.any 

 of us can <lo better than wc do, by keep- 

 ing iwi.M'ything in good order, both on tlie 

 benches and, uiideiai(>;ith them. 1 h.ave 

 in mind a ftiir grower cd' nnxed stock 

 whose houses I \isited some dtiys ago. 

 whose carntit ions weie not yet sup|iorted, 

 and the surface of the soil was covered 

 by ;i gre(Mi ctirpet composed of Aveeds. 

 gi'ass ami green scuni. The owner said 

 he would soon get time to (dean up! .\iid 

 yet he wonders why his stock does not 

 sell as readily ;is that of S(nn(} ot' his 

 neighbors. Time 'was when ''any idd 

 thing"' |)assed as a good c.'irnation. but 

 that was m.any, many years ago. .and 

 no\v only those who are willing to ni\e 

 the iiecessar.v care and .attention ran 

 hope to be rewarded with a large crop of 

 line blooms. .\nr should he ex|ii'ct it 

 witluud. for then he wmild be getting 

 soinetliine- tdr iinthing and nt' course lii< 

 riuisrienre wiuiM tmiible him it' that wei-e
