AS TO LIQUID MANURE. 



Tell Mrs. Patterson that both old 

 and fresh manure should be used in 

 the drainage hopper for liquid manure. 

 I have used an old barrel, set on an 

 inclined platform for receptacle, and 

 find this a good way. This season I 

 am using an old, discarded ice box, 

 zinc-lined, with a small pipe vent. 

 When there is more liquid than I need 

 I throw it back into the box and save 

 the waste, or pour it over soil in a box 

 to be used for potting plants. My 

 plants are the admiration of all who 

 see them, especially my begonias'. 

 The secret is that I do not let them, 

 starve. Feed them liberally and at 

 least once a week. By watching the^ 

 effect you will soon learn what 

 strength to use and how. often the 

 plants require the food. It might be 

 well to take two or three plants and 

 experiment with them. I have never 

 injured any plant and have redeemed 

 many that were apparently dying.

IN PRAISE OF THE OLEANDER. 



I am of the opinion that few plants 

 rival the oleander for beauty and 

 wealth and sweetness of blos'soms. 

 We have a pink one that is covered 

 with an immense number of buds and 

 blossoms every year. It is eleven 

 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high and 25 

 feet in circumference! We are very 

 proud of it. 



The tree is placed upon the eastern 

 lawn, in such a position that it re- 

 ceives the direct sunlight almost all 

 day long. It requires an immense 

 amount of water, which is given at 

 all times during the day. 



As soon as the frost becomes too se- 

 vere, we allow the tree to "dry off," 

 and then place it in the basement, 

 where it is allowed to rest dur-
