ENGLISH IVY FOR GRAVES. 



I want to plant several graves this 

 spring with hardy English ivy. How 

 close should they be planted and how 

 taken care of to make a first-class job? 

 The plants I have are small. I shall 

 plant out of 3-inch pots. F. M. 



Spade over the ground well where the 

 ivy is to be planted, adding some well 

 decomposed manure to it. The ivy can 

 go out any time after the middle of 

 April. As your plants are quite small 

 and you will be anxious to have them 

 make a good showing as soon as possible, 

 we would advise rather close planting, 

 aay nine inches apart each way. As they 

 grow they will require some pegging 

 down in order to cover the earth. A 

 good soaking of water during dry 

 weather will make the plants grow much 

 faster. They will need no special care 

 in summer, outside of a little pegging 

 down. About December 1, cover the 

 plants with dry leaves and make a low 

 box covering of matched boards. This 

 should remain on until about' April 1. 

 The leaves in themselves will keep the 

 foliage fresh if covered with evergreen 

 boughs, but the board covering is neater, 

 if painted dark green. In early spring 

 some of the foliage will take on a brown 

 hue after being exposed a few days. 

 This can be removed. If a little well 

 broken up, rotted manure is scattered, 

 among the plants, they will soon hide 

 any early imperfections. Ivy grows rap- 

 idly if planted in good soil. W. N. C. 



THE LEAF MINER. 



What is the trouble with the mar- 

 guerites, leaves of which are sent under 

 separate cover, and what shall I do to 

 get rid of the trouble? E. O. P. 



The leaves received were badly dis- 

 figured by the leaf miner, which often 

 attacks marguerites vinder glass. As the 

 worms are between the tissues of the 

 leaves, it is di^cult to fight them. The 

 best remedy is to syringe with some nico- 

 tine solution. This has been found help- 

 ful by some growers. If you have only 

 a few plants, mix up a tub of the solu- 

 tion and dip the plants in it. We would 

 advise cutting back a few plants rather 

 hard. Spray them with a poisonous sub- 

 stance, such as Paris green or arsenate 

 of lead, and isolate them. The eggs from 

 which the worms hatch are laid outside 

 the leaves, and if you have poison wait- 

 ing for them when hatched you can de- 

 stroy them. 



Another season keep a sharp watch for
