t<lightly arching, from which panicles of 

 white blossoms are abundantly produced. 

 It comes into bloom the first week in 

 •lune. It is well adapted for planting 

 in the foreground of tall shrubs of similar 

 iiabit and for massing and grouping at 

 'lie foundations of buildings, where tall 

 shrubs cannot be used. 



Deutzia parviflora is a native of 

 lorthern China and the Amoor country. 

 it is one of the hardiest species and 

 <!omes into bloom a week or so after D. 

 gracilis. The corymbs, or convex, fiat- 

 'ish clusters of white flowers, are pro- 

 'luced in great profusion, frequently ex- 

 tending for several feet above the stems. 

 The plant grows from five to seven feet. 

 The upright, stout branches are covered 

 "With a brownish yellow bark, which is 

 quite noticeable in winter. 



BED FOR CANNAS. ^ 



In making a canna bed I have dug 

 the soil out to about eighteen inches 

 deep, filling the bottom ten inches with 

 well-rotted manure, the remainder being 

 filled with woods earth and well-rotted 

 sod. By woods earth I mean rotted 

 leaves, wood, soil, etc., mixed as it is 

 found in a natural state. Please tell me 

 if there is a better compost and what 

 it is. F. B. F. 



It would have been much better to 

 have prepared a compost of well-rotted 

 pasture sod or good garden loam, mixed 

 with well-decayed barnyard manure in 

 the proportion of two of the former to 

 one of the latter. Cannas like a warm, 

 moist and rich soil, but ten inches of 



solid manure is neither necessary nor 

 desirable and would probably prove hurt- 

 ful. There is little virtue in what is 

 known as woods earth for cannas. It 

 does well for lightening the soil for small 

 plants in pots, or for ferns, but cannas 

 need something stronger. The compost 

 formed of decaying wood is liable to be 

 full of fungus spores and cannot be 

 recommended for any purpose. Leaf- 

 mold, of course, is invaluable for many 

 plants. We would advise removing some 

 of the manure and substituting more sod 

 and Tvell incorporating the two before 

 planting the bed. C. W. 



QuiNCY, III.— r. Wm. Heckenkamp, 

 Jr., will build two new greenhouses this 

 spring, one of them 32x100 feet and the 

 other 14x65.
