ought to be in bloom. It is a very pretty plant 

 for hanging baskets or pots, when well grown, 

 and it is very easy to grow when you become 

 familiar with its requirements and treat it 

 according to its needs. 



Diseased Hollyhocks.— (L. P. J.) The trouble 

 with your Hollyrocks is of bacterial origin. 

 "Kust/' it is generally called, for want of a 

 better name, because of the brown, rusty ap- 

 pearance which the entire plant takes on after 

 a little. Copperdine or Bordeaux mixture will 

 check it, if applied promptly and thoroughly. 

 It is a good plan to strip off all badly affected 

 leaves and burn them. The disease will soon 

 spread to other plants. Spores are given off 

 which float about and attach themselves to the 

 foliage of whatever plant they come in contact 

 with. 



To Correspondents.— I can not undertake to 

 answer inquiries by mail, because I have not 

 the time to do so. Most questions asked call 

 for an answer in which there will be information 



of more or less general interest, and such ques- 

 tions I sjiall be glad to answer to the best of 

 my ability in this department. Please do not 

 send stamps, or stamped enevlopes, and expect 

 me to give a personal reply to your inquiries 

 because you have done that. All questions will 

 be answered in the magazine as soon as possible 

 after they are received. 



Azaleas.— (F. E.) Hardy Azaleas should be 

 planted as soon as received from the dealers. 

 They will not send them until the proper season. 

 Greenhouse varieties should be kept in pots dur- 

 ing the season, but they can be "plunged," if 

 thought best— that is, sunk in the ground with 

 the rim of the pot even with its surface. When 

 this method of summ^ering is followed be sure to 

 put some coal ashes under the pot to prevent 

 worms from entering through the drainage hole. 

 Also be sure to see that the roots never get dry. 



Peonies.— (F. E.) Some varieties of the 

 Peony bloom much more freely than others. 

 When the difference in freedom of flowering

TEST IT AT OUR EXPENSE. 



REN-CAR-TA is taken internally and acts directly 



on the blood, the fountain of life, purifying it and 



^pn^ removing all poisonous matter, leaving the system 



^^^^^^^ sound and healthy and in a position to ward off dis- 



^/mm^ #M ea.se. It is totally unlike any medicine which has

 Jjj^ from suffering and will effect a permanent cure if 



taken as directed. It cures chronic and complicated 

 IP cases, gives strength and energy, relieves the aching head, prevents that tired, worn-out 

 feeling, banishes Neuralgia and Nervousness, makes the Nerves strong and gives refreshing 

 sleep to the restless. 



NEVER FAILS TO CURE KIDNEY AND LIVER TROUBLE. 



Few people realize the importance of keeping the Kidneys and Liver active, so that they 

 will perform their functions. As soon as they become deranged and the blood impure, the 

 whole system is thrown out of order. Headache, Neuralgia, Skin Eruptions, Pimples, 

 Rheumatism and Heart Disease follow. Ren-Car-Ta is the only sure cure for Kidney anc^ 

 Liiver trouble. It restores the strength and puts the Kidneys and Liver in their natural 

 healthy condition. It cures the weak and debilitated and makes pu re, rich, nourishing blood. 



It will positively cure all diseases arising: from Impure Blood, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, 

 Erysipelas, Eczema, Skin and Scalp Eruptions, Old Sores, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Catarrh, 

 Indigestion, Headache, Loss of Appetite, General Debility and Heart Disease. It never fails 

 to cure even the most obstinate cases.
