ROOTING SLIPS. 



I am very successful in rooting slips 

 of all kinds. Roses I find best to root 

 where they are to grow, and they root 

 best in this month. I break off slips 

 with a heel, with half-ripened wood, 

 place in rich soil, turn a glass tum- 

 bler or jar lightly over them and leave 

 them this way for three weeks, keep- 

 ing them well watered. At end of 

 three weeks they are usually well 

 rooted. I then put a prop under one 

 side of jar and allow them to have air 

 in this way for a week; then I remove 

 the glass and allow them to grow un- 

 disturbed the rest of the summer. 



The hibiscus and most other hard- 

 wooded plants I root in this way. I 

 prefer rich soil to sand, as the sand 

 dries out so quickly and the young 

 roots are injured. This is for most 

 plants. Cactus slips will root much 

 better in sand. Oleander and lemon 

 verbena slips I root in water. I hang 

 a bottle of water on the sunny side of 

 house and after placing slips in, I fill 

 in around the neck of bottle with cot- 

 ton, so as to exclude all air.

FOUR O'CLOCKS. 



On the east side of the house ex- 

 tending from the step at my back door 

 to the end of the porch, was a narrow 

 strip of ground against the wall where 

 grass never grew. One spring I had a 

 happy thought. I planted this little 

 plot with four o'clocks. They were 

 such a joy to me that summer that I 

 have never failed to have them since. 

 They are exactly suited for just this 

 kind of place. In the early morning 

 their red and white and' mottled flow- 

 ers are open wide to greet me, and sel- 

 dom close until my morning work is 

 done. When the afternoon grows late 

 and I must take up kitchen work
