New York. I. M. Skiff. 



INQUIRIES. 



My roses, which are supposed to bloom 

 all summer, have never bloomed at all; 

 instead, the lower leaves keep drying up 

 and dropping off. Will some one kindly 

 tell me how to care for them properly ? 



Michigan. Mrs. J. D. Parent. 



Will you please let me know how to 

 set out bulbs, as I never had any, and I 

 am afraid that I would not have good 

 luck with them, unless somebody told me 

 how to plant them. I have quite a lot of 

 house plants and hope that I shall get 



much valuable information in your paper 

 as to the care of them. 



Mass. Mrs. W. A. Graham. 



May I have information on the three 

 following points ? 



First — My dahlias are fairly well fed and 

 watered, staked up, but bloom but little. 

 One season I tried confining them to one 

 shoot, and once I took them up in the 

 fall and replanted later. The results have 

 never been satisfactory as to bloom. In 

 what am I deficient ? 



Second — I want to start a lily bed. 

 Shall I locate it on the north, south, east 

 or west of my home ? 



Third — ^Tell me something about time 

 to plant, and the treatment to give 

 gloxinias.
