frost in the autumn dig and store through the winter as you would potatoes.

Japonica Variegata. An omamental 
Japanese grass, which is extremely use- 
ful as a house-plant, of easy growth, 
standing the dry atmosphere of heated 
rooms with impunity, and at the same 
time hardy if planted in the garden in 
summer. 16 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 
As soon as all danger from hard frost is 
over, pint in the garden 12 inches each 
way, amd keep well cultivated until they 
begin to bloom, when a light mulch of 
strawy manure will be beneficinl to retain 
mowtare in the soil, and help nourish the 
plants. 
Plants so treated should begin to flower 
in Jety, and continue to produce an abun- 
dance of flowers until killed by frost. For 
winter-flowering, the same cultural notes 
apply, with the exception that they can be 
planted somewhat closer in the garden, and 
flower shoots kept pinched back until 
abont fhe middle of August, when they 
shonid be planted on benches in the green- 
house for fhe season’s crop of flowers. 
Any good fresh soil, moderately en- Gotpen Yerrow Carta 
riched, will grow them. Plant 9 to 12 PEO 
inches apart, accordihg to the size of the plants. The same night tem- 
perature that is required for the little plants before planting out, will 
make good flowers, with 15 to 20 degrees higher and plenty of fresh air 
during bright days; water only sufficiently to keep plants from wilting.
