furnishes a safe retreat for cockroaches, 

 snails and woodlice, the principal ene- 

 mies of cattleyas. Set the stems of the 

 plants well above the rim of the pot, 

 and ram the peat firmly around the roots. 

 Test the firmness of the potting by 

 holding the potted plant up by the 

 leaves. It should not disturb the plant. 

 The potting should take place just be- 

 fore the new growth commences, and 

 while the roots are fairly dry. After 

 the plants have been potted, water should 

 be withheld for several days in order to 

 allow the injured roots to heal. Water 

 sparingly at first. 



In topdressing the plants remove as 

 much of the old peat as possible without 

 injuring the roots and work a good coat- 

 ing of finely chopped peat over the sur- 

 face. " 



THE READERS' CX>RNER. 



Moles in the Greenhouse. 



We have had the same trouble as A. 

 Gaspers and we found that it was the 

 short-tailed field mouse that was doing 

 the damage. If there is no place for 

 them to hide, a good cat will clean them 

 out. We also had trouble with moles 

 for two or three years, but they did no 

 damage except to raise the plants out of 

 the ground. After trying patent traps 

 and poisons for a long time, with no suc- 

 cess, we finally got rid of them with a 

 home-made trap. F. Stores. 



Stamford, Tex. — The Stamford Flo- 

 ral Society is making arrangements to 

 hold a flower show in the fall. 



Cedar Rapids, Iowa. — Grant New- 

 port's barn was struck by lightning 

 April 23 and burned to the ground. The 

 flames also destroyed about forty feet 

 of one greenhouse. The loss was $1,500, 

 half of which was covered by insurance.
