TROUBLE WITH SOIL. 



I have a solid bed in my house and 

 it will not do well for me, so I used a 

 small strip of litmus paper, which I send 

 herewith. Can you tell me what to put 

 on and how much? The bed is 6x25 

 feet. O. S. H. 



The test paper shows little trace of 

 acid in the soil, so that is not the cause 

 of failure. Had this querist been more 

 explicit and described conditions and 

 previous treatment of the bed I would 

 have been in better position to advise. 

 Try a sprinkling of wood ashes, say a 

 6-inch potful, and stir the surface to the 

 depth of one inch. RiBES. 



TO ENJOY A MELON. 



Probably many readers of the Review 

 will enjoy, if not the melon itself, at 

 least the following recipe freely trans- 

 lated from La Tribune des Societ^s Hor- 

 ticoles, Brussels: "Take a Cavaillon 

 melon (shun the cantaloupe), cut it cir- 

 cularly round the stalk v?ith an enameled 

 knife and remove the seed with a silver 

 spoon, not disturbing the pulp. This 

 done, put alternate layers of refined sugar 

 (two spoonfuls) and alpine strawberries 

 until it is full, and then pour in a bottle 

 of irreproachable Bordeaux to fill up the 

 spaces between berries and sugar. Then 

 replace the severed part to serve as a 

 stopper, and let it stand in a cool cellar 

 for twenty-four hours. Empty then the 

 contents into a dish, and the solemn hour 

 will have arrived. As for the melon 

 itself, present it to some lukewarm friend 

 at the right season."

Racine, Wis. — John Bourgaise, 2006 

 North Chatham street, proprietor of the 

 North Side Greenhouse, met with a bad 

 accident December 16. With other men, 

 Mr. Bourgaise was engaged unloading a 

 large barrel filled with flower pots, when 

 it commenced to roll. In an effort to 

 save it Mr. Bourgaise got in the way 

 and the barrel rolled on his left foot 

 and ankle, breaking both bones of the 

 leg'"above the ankle, and he was other- 

 wise bruised.
