NICOTINE KEEPS DOGS AWAY 



Spraying plants with diluted nicotine sulphate will 

 cause cats and dogs to avoid them according to the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture. This spray seems 

 to be very offensive to animals and should be used 

 especially on evergreens at all seasons of the year 

 when dogs are liable to cause injury. No doubt nico- 

 tine dust will give the same results. 



FOR ACID LOVING PLANTS 



The apple pomace, or ground apple pulp which is a 

 waste or by-product of cider-making will serve as a 

 splendid mulch for rhododendrons, mountain-laurel 

 and other acid-loving plants, writes Alfred Hottes in 

 the October Better Homes and Gardens. Apple peel- 

 ings and cores of course will serve the same purpose.
