THE FLORAL WORLD

buds appear, giving promise of a most 

 beautiful plant. The calla loves a rich 

 soil, free from worms, and a warm, moist 

 atmosphere, with plenty of warni water; 

 the roots do not want to be crowded; it 

 also loves fresh air, if not too cold, and a 

 shower bath to keep the plant clean. 



I had one near a south windov/, which 

 was seldom closed. The room opened 

 into the sitting-room, and on the sitting- 

 room sto\-e water was kept most of the 

 time. At times the moisture was so great 

 that drops of water would hang on the 

 leaves. 



JNIy plant grew verv- large, and was very 

 beautiful. It had two sets of blossoms, 

 six in all, some very large, witli long 

 stems, others not so large, but all of them 

 were taller than the leaves.

UTILIZING THE BACK YARD, 



The tide of civic betterment has struck 

 Texas, and the especial wave reaching 

 Temple has brought with it inspiration 

 which we feel will result in much practi- 

 cal good in the line of home gardening 

 and town improvement. 



In developing the hitherto unknown 

 resources of my back yard, I find your 

 helpful publication a daily guide. On the 

 rear of our lot we have erected a hot- 

 house, 16x24, and beside anticipating 

 great pleasure in our work, we hope, in 

 time, to derive some profit. As a start 

 we have ninety callas, 2 to feet high, 

 in pots, (bulbs brought from California 

 recently). These are in fine condition, 

 and will soon bloom. 



We have also set out one hundred car- 

 nation plants, which promise much. For 

 mid-winter blooming we have two hun- 

 dred pots of hyacinths, freesias, etc., set 

 out successively through October. 



Our growing plants stand on wide 

 shelves, in damp sand. The bulbs rest 

 in a " dark room " until time for forcing. 

 We are also planting pansy and cosmos 

 seed for spring transplanting.

picion. Its cure is sure, without harmful results 

 to the system. Many a home is now happy by 

 the use of Golden Specific. " My husband got into 

 tlie habit of taking a drink with the boys on 

 his way home," says Mrs. Harry Burnside. 

 "After a while he came home drunk frequently. 

 He soon lost his position and I had to make a 

 living for both of us and the little children. At 

 times he tried to sober up, but the habit was too 

 strong for him and then he would drink harder 

 than ever. I heard of Golden Specific and sent 

 f jr a free package. The treatment cured him. 

 I put it in his coffee and he never knew it at all. 

 He regained his old position and now we are 

 happy in our little home again. I hope you will 

 send Golden Specific to every woman that has 

 suffered as I have, and save her loved ones from 

 the drunkard's grave.
