of the bulbs and a disinfection of the 

 soil by means of bisulphide of carbon, 

 applied at the rate of 240 pounds per 

 acre. Xs a further measure, says a 

 french writer, it is recommended that 

 the beetles themselves should be col- 

 lected and destroyed, which can easily 

 be done, as they do not readily fly, but 

 allow themselves to be caught without 

 any difficulty. 



THE GRAPE-LIKE FUCHSIAS. 



A certain class of fuchsia has ap- 

 peared on the continent of Europe which 

 is meeting with general favor as mate- 

 rial for planting in beds, groups, and as 

 hot plants, says Karl Kiskoven, in Hol- 

 ler's Deutsche GUrtner Zeitung. These 

 are free flowering, and possess other 

 good properties, besides flowering 



throughout the entire summer season. 

 The newer varieties, many of which pos- 

 sess flowers of light colors, flower a sec- 

 ond time at a late part of the season. 

 The older of these grape-like bunch 

 fuchsias have more or less tender foli- 

 age, and by a lowering of the tempera- 

 ture lose many of their leaves, whereas 

 the newer varieties do not fail in this 

 respect, and are considerably improved
