As yiiu all' lialili' to havo a eonsider- 

 alile call till' paliii'^ I'lasior wrok, take 



advantaoe of ;i ny lull in other operations 

 to clean the foliaye on them thorouyhly. 



Adiantums. 



Ailianl iiins, which ha\e been resting' 

 for some time, will lie ]msliin<f u[) a 

 yood cro|( of new fronds now. Ivoep 

 these as ne;ir the liyhl as possililo. A 

 liea\v shade is not yet either necessary 

 or desirable. The fronds \\ill he much 

 more ser\iceahle if oi'own harder, which 

 will be the case if merely the sun's di- 

 rect rays are broken. The fronds on 

 liea\ily shaded ))laiits may be of a dark 

 oreeii coloi', but are decidedly soft. 



Snails are often troublesome amouff 

 adiantums ;ind will sjieedily ruin a large 

 batch if given a (dear field. IJait in 

 tho form of fresh caliltago and lettuce 

 leax'cs or slices of jiot.'ito, if laid among 

 the plants and examined daily, will be 

 found to harbor many. If the posts are 

 numerous, lift the plants from the bench 

 and soak the stone or cinders with lime 

 water; salt water will tilso be found 

 equally effectual. 



Nephrolepis Runners. 



If some of your carnations are now 

 partially run out and your stock of 

 nephrolepis neeils replenishing, the pres- 

 ent is a good time to fill a beiudi with a 

 good batch of runners. There is no 

 need to remove any of the old carna- 

 tion soil. Add sonu' sand and leaf-mold 

 to it. mix tlu'se with the soil in the bench, 

 and you have an i<leal compost. Shade 

 the glass over the bench containhig these 

 runni'rs and if you hang some cheese- 

 cloth from the roof in front of the 

 lieuch to keej) the ail' from the plants, 

 it will be found beneficial. 



Lorraine Begonias. 



Many coni|daints ,'ire made each sea- 

 son of the ditliculty in rooting the leaves 

 of Begonia (iloire de Lorr.-iine. Those 

 who have had failures and still have some 

 old stock jdants which they have given 

 a little rest, should now bi' able to get 

 some nice shoots for pro[>agating pur- 

 jioses. These like a brisk bottom lieat, a 

 fop heat in degrees cooler .and little 

 shade until roofed. When vou water, do 



Flowers at a Cincinnati Labor Leader's Funeral.
