 cures wrought by It are really marvelous,: Among 

 others Mr. C. B. Slade, Los Angeles, Cal., writes March 

 8, 1902, that Himalya saved his life, and through his 

 recommendation thirty-five or forty others have been 

 cured by it. Mr. W. O, Coblentz, No. 7 La Salle St., 

 Cleveland, O., writes that he suffered for years until 

 Himalya cured him. Physicians and change of climate 

 did him no good. Mrs. Lidelle Hodgliins, Old Town, 

 Me., writes that Asthma was her worst enemy, but 

 Himalya cured her completely. Mr. Alfred Lewis, 

 editor of the Farmers' Magazine, Washington, D. C, 

 testifies that after eight years continual suffering, es- 

 pecially in Hay-Fever season, Himalya completely 

 cured him. Hundreds of others give similar testimony

DRAINAGE— RUST. 



Nearly two-lhirds of the trouble with 

 plants may be traced to bad drainage. 

 Plants taken from out doors shed all their 

 leaves during the winter, so if you get a 

 dust-pan of leaves now and then don't 

 be alarmed. If new buds and shoots dry 

 up, the air is too dry, which may be 

 remedied by placing a small dish of water 

 on the stove. 



When you have a plant, the soil of 

 which is sour, give better drainage and 

 water sparingly. Tin cans may be drained 

 by punching holes around the bottom of 

 can and setting in saucer. I have heard 

 people say that cold water would not kill 

 lice, but it will. Don't take an infected 

 plant and shower it once, but keep it up. 

 My advice is to shower all of your plants 

 frequently. 



Rust is the worst enemy of the begonia, 

 which may be remedied by cutting it 

 back, leaving but two or three buds. 

 When a rusty leaf appears, pinch it off. 

 In this manner it will be made presenta- 

 ble, at least, whereas it would have been 

 dead if you had let it alone. 



* ' Hayseed. ' ' 



[ Why not discard tin cans altogether, and use 

 regular flower pots? Their porous nature will do 

 much toward preventing soggy, sour soil, and a 

 hole for drainage is already provided, Pots cost 

 comparatively little now, and certainly far excel 

 cans in point of attractiveness]. 



ARTIFICIALLY COLORED FLOWERS. 



To color scarlet or pink, dissolve red 

 aniline in water to about the transparency 

 of claret and place the stems of lilies of 

 the valley, narcissi, daffodils, hyacinths, 

 tulips and lilies in it and let them remain 

 until the required depth of shade has 

 been obtained. To color blue, use in- 

 digo carmine ; combine the two and a 

 beautiful mixture in mottled effects is the 

 result. By leaving the stems in the red 

 for some time, then setting in clear water 

 for a while, then placing in the blue dye, 

 a large white lily with a long stem may
