A SIMPLE FERTILIZER. 



It may benefit some readers of The 

 Floral World to learn of an experi- 

 ment I have tried during the last two 

 winters in feeding my pot plants with the 

 rinsings of a milk pail or can. Perhaps 

 many a farmer's wife or daughter before 

 me has succeeded in producing excellent 

 plants by this simple method, but here, 

 at least, the practice has not been usual, 

 for I had never heard of it until I began 

 to apply it to my begonias, umbrella 

 plant, fern, asparagus, eupatorium, ver- 

 benas and so on, all of which visibly 

 improved under the treatment. Ci'cla- 

 mens, however, refused to thrive. Per- 

 haps bulbous plants in general would 

 object to the diet. 



If diluted milk is a good food, why 

 should not skimmed milk be even better, 

 I reasoned. But one application of the 

 stronger fluid was sufficient, for my 

 nostrils, if not for the plants, and a disin- 

 fectant was promptly sprinkled upon the 

 soil. Knowing — from Parwin's experi- 

 ments with seedlings, if not from personal 

 observation — that fatty substances do not 

 agree with a root's digestion, I have not 

 yet tried cream as a fertilizer. In this 

 case the meaner product is the better. 



Massachusetts. E. A. Josselyn. 



A NOVEL METHOD OF HEATING. 



I have a small house which is not very 

 warm, and I cannot afford to keep fire at 

 night, but must keep a few plants. One 

 cold winter I moved my plant-table to 

 the least exposed corner, put a two-gallon 

 jug of boiling water, which I heated by 

 the supper fire, beneath it and enclosed 

 all with a bath cabinet, throwing a large 

 blanket over that. I placed rugs around 

 the bottom and stuffed something in the 

 ventilator. Not a plant was in>ured and 

 not more than ten minutes spent each day 

 in thus caring for them, and was well 

 repaid with blossoms.
