frame that reached to the top of a 

 large east front window. The prevail- 

 ing colors in house-plant blossoms are 

 red, white and pink, so the novelty of 

 a mass of delicate yellow only, 

 splotched with carmine is to be de- 

 sired. Our beautiful bowl of nastur- 

 tiums for table or sick ones can thus 

 be had in winter as well as summer.

GOOD TREATMENT FOR ROSES. 



It is nine years since I started my 

 rose bed. I have nearly a hundred 

 hybrid, and a hundred ever-bloomers. 

 Make your bed rich with cow and hen 

 manure. Use a teaspoon of paris 

 green to an even pail of water. With 

 one hand turn over the bush, and with 

 a brush broom throw the water over 

 and under the bush. Do this twice a 

 week from the time they leaf out until 

 the last of June. In July cut the hy- 

 brids back so they cannot grow, and 

 they will bloom more. The last of 

 November cut them back within a foot 

 and a half of the ground, bank them 

 well with dirt — ever-bloomers and all 

 — and cover three feet deep with 

 leaves. They will settle down as soon 

 as it thaws in April. Remove the 

 leaves, but do not disturb the dirt 

 nntil May. Never put cold water on 

 them at night; better water in the 

 morning, or else use warm water. 

 Sprinkle often if it does not rain, but 

 do not give them a thorough wetting 

 more than twice a week.

FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. 



This spring I followed the direc- 

 tions for sowing seed in boxes, even 

 to the least detail, and had such suc- 

 cess I want to tell about it. Procur- 

 ing some leaf-mold, sand and garden 

 loam, I mixed all together and filled 

 shallow boxes within an inch or so of
