H02IE AND FLO^^EBS 



of Stapleford, and Meteor would prove hardy 

 in Tour climate. They are all first-class hybrid 

 Teas, ever-blooming. These nine enumerated 

 are the champion Eoses of their class. 



Hiss Mary H. K., Memphis, Te?r/i.— Tube- 

 roses late in the fall may safely be lifted, potted 

 and placed in the hothouse. Your bulbs planted 

 now would probably be just ready to go into 

 winter quarters in full bloom. 



Mrs. P. M., Memphis, Tenn.— Your Fuchsia 

 is probably suffering from the heat. To prevent 

 further loss of foliage water the plant copiously 

 and set the pot in .partial shade. 



Mrs. TV. P., Jaclison, Miss.— Your Water 

 Lilies will be improved by bone dust. Place it 

 in little heaps here and there on the surface of 

 the sand and earth in the bottom, of the tank. 

 The roots Avill seek it and the water equalize 

 its distribution. Water Lilies frequently de- 

 teriorate from poverty of the soil. It requires 

 both soil and water to sustain them. 



Mrs. M. M. K., Vickshurg, Miss.— The Nelum- 

 bium or Egyptian Lotus is the showiest and 

 most interesting of all aquatic plants. I would 

 advise you to fill your large new tank with the 



Lotus alone. Given rich soil for the roots and 

 plenty of water it will fill the tank to the ex- 

 clusion of all the minor aquatics. In the ab- 

 sence of rain fill the tank with the host every 

 few days. 



Mrs. Jno. B., Jaclson, If iss.— Freesias and 

 Oxalis make lovely border plants in your lati- 

 tude. Bed the bulbs in September. 



Mrs. G. TV. F., Natchez, Miss.— On your broad 

 green lawn the Confederate Eose would be con- 

 spicuous and very handsome. It is a large 

 double-flowered Hibiscus that opens white and 

 gradually turns pink, deepening to red, all in 

 one day. In Xew Orleans it grows ten feet 

 high and blooms incessantly from June till 

 November. Alone, on a smooth green lawn, it 

 is invariably the "observed of all observers," the 

 one shrub worth a dozen of more ordinary sorts. 

 The Egyptian Lotus in a broad tank would also 

 attain the end of making a garden of itself 

 alone. The questions regarding Eoses you will 

 find all answered in Mr. P. J. Berkman's cata- 

 logue of Fruitland Nurseries, Augusta, Ga. 



Mattie, Mobile, ^?a.— Plant a Marechal Niel 

 in the fall at the end of your porch.
