LIQUID FROM TOBACCO STEMS. 



Of what fertilizing value, if any, is 

 liquid made from tobacco stems steeped 

 in water? M. E. 



While there is some manurial property 

 in tobacco stems, it is so trifling as com- 

 pared with what can be obtained from 

 animial manures, that it would not pay to 

 bother with it. The water is useful 

 for spraying purposes and can also be 

 utilized on asters and other plants trou- 

 bled with aphis at the root. Potato 

 growers not, infrequently use the stems 

 in their 'furrows. They can also be ad- 

 vantageously used in the hills for 

 squashes and cucumbers outdoors. Plants 

 so located are more immune from at- 

 tacks of borers and other pests. C. W. 



FAIRIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY. 



I think I have lost all my pansies. 

 Will you kindly tell me the best way to 

 get some for Memorial day! Could I 

 sow some seeds in the greenhouse, or 

 would it be best foj me to buy plants, 

 and would they bloom by that time? 



H.P. 



Pansies may be sown now and will 

 bloom by summer, but if you want good, 

 strong plants in bloom for Memorial day, 

 your best plan will be to purchase some 

 * transplanted seedlings raised last fall and 

 which are being wintered either outdoors 

 or in a coldframe. Plant these in a cold 

 greenhouse, or, better still, in a cold- 

 frame. Give them well manured com- '
