FLOWER CULTURE AS A MEDICINE. 



A young wife, almost an invalid 

 through overtaxing her strength, was 

 ordered by her physician to "live ouz 

 of doors." In giving up her belovecl 

 occupations of reading and sewing, she 

 fortunately turned to gardening, witli 

 much ardor and a little aptitude, and 

 now, at an age when many find the 

 pleasures of life palling upon them,, 

 she would earnestly recommend other 

 delicate women to have recourse to 

 the same source of health and good- 

 spirits. 



One cannot bring against the culti-

 is a selfish enjoyment. Ah, no! The 

 good angel of the household is she 

 whose table and sitting-room are per-

 or invalid so speaking as blossoms, 

 made tenfold more beautiful by the 

 tender nurture of loving hands! Cul- 

 tivate flowers, and you will reap a har- 

 vest richer and sweeter than idlers 

 dream of. M. S. H. 



CARE OF THE FUCHSIA. 



Some consider the fuchsia a delicate 

 plant to grow and make bloom, but I 

 have never found it such. I have 

 seven plants or trees, some are five 

 years old, some two years old. I 

 started them from slips rooted in tin 

 cans in a soil of sandy loam. They 

 were left in these small cans until the 

 soil was filled with roots, then shifted 

 to four-inch pots filled with the same 

 kind of soil, with charcoal in the bot- 

 tom of the pots to insure good drain- 

 age. I give them plenty of light and
