All holis slionld ke carefully ]iri' 

 pared. ;iiii| when the tree nr -hrnli is 

 in po--ition and has had snnie soil lilled 



in about its roots, lot it have a thor- 

 ough soakinij of water. Allow an hour 

 or two to elapse before filling up the 

 hole. IVo sure that the soil is worked 

 in among all the roots and remember 

 that you cannot lirm tlie soil too much. 

 ]\Iulcii after the planting is done and. 

 if .you have a hose within reach, give 

 the plants a wetting over each evening 

 for a few days. Use no manure aliout 

 the roots, as it will do more harm than 

 good. 



Jihodoilendrons, kalmias, andromedas, 

 coniferous evergreens of all kinds, 

 i-aionymns vadicans and, in fact, ev- 

 t'rylliing of an evergreen nature will 

 move well now, if care is taken that 

 they have a nice ball, that the roots 

 are not exposed to sun and drying 

 winds and that they are well waterecl 

 when ])lanted. 



INSECTS ON ALTERNANTHERAS. 



An insert .-itc all the lea\'es of our 

 Alt ernant lu'ra lirilli;iiit issiin;i. I no- 

 ticed on the ]ilants a small lly, not like 

 any lly 1 have ever seen before; also a 

 -■niall worm, ;ind a small, long, dark 

 ihil;. We send a samide of the eaten 

 leaves. S. F. C. 



Try dusting the alternantheras with 

 Slug Shot, and if this does not prove 

 effect i\-e, then 1 would try spraying 

 with a solution of I'aris green; iiut the 

 latter must not be used too strong, else 

 it ma\- burn the foliage. W. II. T.

 cut of flowers. If your jdants are" set 

 'nil four to six imhes afiart in rows. 

 they will be sulliriently thick. There 

 are niKHJ growers who allow them 

 double that space. It is a common 

 error to sow or plant too thickly, but 

 It never p.ays in the long run. A mini 

 ninm temperature of (C to ,")() degrees in 

 winter will suit sweet p(>as; hold it as 

 near 48 degrees as possible and try 

 not to n,, heyoml ."pd degrees. The 

 plants lii<e all' the fresh :7i r voii can

 'li'nfts, which might cause mildew to
