Can you tell me what sort of agera- 

 t II 111 is best for planting for a border? 

 J have tried several kinds, but they 

 grow too tall and wild and do not 

 have many flowers. I planted Little 

 Hhio Star and the customers made the 

 <()iiiplaint that it grew too rank and 

 was a foot tall. Let me know which 

 is tho best. E. B. 



Try Ageratum Stella Gurney. This 

 is a splendid dwarf variety. Princess 

 ] 'an line is also good. C. W. 



BONE. 



Bone meal is prepared by boiling the 

 raw bones under sufficient steam press- 

 ure to remove the fat, after which they 

 are ground into a somewhat gritty meal 

 which contains from four to five per 

 €ent of nitrogen and forty-five to forty- 

 eight per cent of phosphate. Though 

 the fat has been removed, the carti- 

 lage remains, and this has the effect 

 of retarding the breaking up of the 

 particles after the meal has been ap- 

 plied to the soil, so that it is considered 

 a slow-acting manure. As, however, 

 used on garden soils, which are usually 

 ^jf an acid character, or as an in- 

 srcdient of potting compost, where the 

 roots are brought into intimate contact 

 \vith it, the action is much quicker, 

 'liough even then the results of its use 

 fhc second year after application 

 'Ijhould be little less than the first year, 

 "here, however, the soil is sandy or 

 I'oor in humus it would be better to use 

 '\hat is known as bone flour, the differ- 

 'iice between this and bone meal being 

 that the boiling of the raw bones is 

 inducted under such a high pressure 

 'I steam, some fifty pounds to the 

 quare inch, that not only is the fat 

 '•amoved, but the whole of the car- 

 tilaginous matter as well, with the re- 

 "It that the bones can be ground into 

 ■1 finer meal, which acts much more 

 i-eadily in the soil, but it is at the 

 I'xpense of a considerable portion of 

 'he nitrogen, the analysis being only 

 ^'ne to one and one-half per cent of 

 lutrogen, though as much as sixtv per 

 'ent or more of phosphate. Neither 

 ^one meal nor bone flour is recom-
