Sandra Terminalis, —for which there is no com- 

 mon name. This is a low Japanese evergreen. 



Plant Sweet Peas twelve to eighteen 

 inches deep to insure long deep roots which 

 will withstand the dry weather. 



Watering in the summer should be done 

 after sun-down. In a drought do not water 

 small plants or sweet peas with vv^ell water 

 or that from a spring. Weakened by the dry 

 weather, the plants die under the shock of 

 cold water. 



The old fashion June Roses in our garden 

 are over one hundred years old. They thrive 

 and love the place, some bushes growing to 

 seven feet in height and twenty-three feet in 

 circumference. 



A clever sister-in-law who has very fine 

 Roses has given me these simple directions for 

 the care of Hybrid Perpetual and Tea Roses. 

 By repeating them here I hope that everyone 

 will have as beautiful Roses — large Frau Karl 

 Druschkis, five inches across, pure white and 

 pearly, lovely pink Killarneys in great quan- 

 tities and abundance of all their beautiful 

 sisters.
