even approaches white in color. The 

 varieties Golden Bedder, golden yellow, 

 and Verschaflfeltii, crimson, old, tried 

 sorts, are as good as any you could use. 

 Golden Queen is another yellow and 

 John Pfister is a good crimson of dwarf 

 habit. Set your plants nine inches apart 

 each way and, if kept well pinched, 

 they will soon cover the ground. For 

 the letters plant a little more closely, 

 say 6x8 inches, so as to get a more 

 immediate effect. C. W. 



BEST SOILS FOB FLORISTS. 



Nitrates of Soda and Potash. 



The use of nitrate of soda on fertile 

 lapd i^ attended with good results, be- 

 cau's^ not only does it serve as a source 

 of nitrogen itself, but it acts as a 

 solvent of other plant foods. If it is 

 applied to poor land, small results are 

 seen, because there is nothing for it to 

 act upon. In dry seasons nitrate of 

 soda is useful to assist vegetable crops. 

 Lettuce, onion, cabbage, cauliflower, 

 and leaf crops generally are much ben- 

 efited by it. But it surely impoverishes 

 a soil, and should not be applied alone, 

 but mixed with phosphates. 



Nitrate of potash, owing to its ex- 

 pense, is not much used as a fertilizer, 

 there being a large demand for it in 

 the manufacture of gunpowder. It may, 

 however, be made at home. German 

 kainite — otherwise called kainite salts 

 — contains fifteen per cent of potash 

 and is reasonable in price, but the use 

 of it on land has not met with the ben- 

 eficial results expected of it. But if 

 these kainite salts be mixed in layers 

 with manure, owing to the fermenta- 

 tion of the manure the kainite, which 

 contains sulphate of potash, is con- 

 verted into nitrate of potash. 



Waste from Slaughter Houses. 



Blood and tankage collected from 

 the slaughter houses, and from the vats 

 where the waste of butcher shops is 

 boiled down and then dried, are valu- 

 able sources of nitrogen. A rich com- 

 post and an excellent fertilizer is made 

 by mixing this blood and tankage with 

 a potash salt or wood ashes. This is 

 excellent for potatoes, and in fact any
