unreasonable it was to expect so much for so 

 little? A little thought ought to convince any 

 one. when they read these wonderfully liberal 

 offers, that there's something wrong somewhere, 

 because it is impossible to furnish so much at 

 so small a price. Either whatever is sent will 

 be worthless, or nothing will be sent. Set down 

 every one of these cheap seed, cheap plant 

 offers as fraudulent, and have nothing to do 

 with them. 



Soap Insecticide. — (E. V. W.) Shave one- 

 half pound Ivory soap into thin strips, and dis- 

 solve by pouring hot water on it and allowing it 

 to stand on the stove. When reduced to a 

 liquid put it into a ten-quart pail of water. 

 Apply to your plants with a sprayer regulated 

 to throw a fine spray. Be sure that it reaches 

 all parts of the plant — especially the under 

 side of the foliage. I i se this cheap and easily 

 prepared insecticide in my greenhouse con- 

 stantly, and have never had the most delicate 

 plant injured by it. If soaps containing an 

 excess of alkali are used injury may result. 



Weeping Lantana. — (E. L. S.) This plant 

 should be allowed to rest in summer if flowers 

 are wanted from it in winter. Set it away 

 where it will be out of the influences which 

 bring about growth, and water it rather spar- 

 ingly. In September repot it. Give it a rich, 

 loamy soil. Cut back all its old branches. It 

 will soon begin to grow, and by January it 



It Has Wonderful Merit 



If every medicine that is advertised gave as perfect 

 satisfaction as Ren-Car-Ta. manufactured by the Sagi- 

 naw Medicine Co. of Saginaw, Mich., we would un- 

 hesitatingly recommend them to our readers. The hun- 

 dreds of letters that are being received every day from 

 thankful people who have been cured all express their 

 heartfelt gratitude for what Rent-Car-Ta has done for 

 them. If you are suffering from Catarrh. Rheumatism. 

 Kidney and Liver Trouble, Headache. Eczema or any 

 blood disorder, vre would advise you to take advantage 

 of the liberal offer they make in their advertisement on 

 page 28 of this paper.
