PLANTING NOTES. 
Tin Can Irbioation in Gakdens owinf; to the 
scalding of the plants or the baking of the ground, 
surface application of water during the hot, dry 
Season B often injurious rather than beneficiRl. By 
thoroughly saturating the subsoil, leaviug the dry 
surface to act as a mulch, the plants get the full 
benefit of all water applied, without harm. This can 
be done by digging a miniature reservoir a foot or 
80 from the plant hill, and with a long, Btrait rod 
opening an underground passage to the roots of the 
plant. A much better plan, however, is to take old 
tin-cans that can be picked up in any quantity in 
all rubbish piles or dumping grounds, and perfor- 
ating tlieir sides near the bottom in a number o( 
places, set one in the ground a few inches from 
the hill to be watered. Fill with water and the 
roots of the plant will do the rest. Often the root- 
lets enter through the perforations and form a mat 
in the bottom of the cans. This plan is especially 
adapted to vines of all kinds. — .Imertcan Agriculturist. 
Cinchona-Cultivation in Ceylon.— In conse- 
quence of the increased value of tlie Succirubra- 
bark, endeavour is beinp; made in Ceylon to 
extend the cQltivatioii of cinchona, and e.«peci<i,lly 
to obtain from Java tiie seed of the cinchonas 
which are richest in quinine. It would be rash 
to say that the iiioveiuent will lead to anything, 
as Ceylou planters have been too severely bitten 
by their cinchona operations; but as the failure 
of these was evidently due to their cultivation of 
inferior barks, it is probable that with Ledgeriana 
bark, and a moderate amount of Suecirubra, they 
would make more of it now, — Chcmibt atid Druggist. 
Jadoo, Limited: Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders.— The third annul meeting of 
the shareholders in Jadoo, Limited, was held 
at the offices of the Company, Palace Gate, 
Exeter, on Wednesday, October 26. Col. Hal- 
FORD Thompso.V presided. The Company, as 
we learn from the report of the meeting, is 
pushing the busiuess in Continental countries, 
and in the colonies, but the turnover was 
small, and seems scarcely satisfactory ; and as 
the cbairnian said at the meeting, the sum of 
£4000 to £5000 was lequired to still further 
develop the concern. They were, however, en- 
abled to recommend a dividend of 5 per cent, 
per annum upon the paid-up capital. The sum 
of £200 Is. 4c?. would be carried over to next 
year's trading. — Gardeners' Chronicle,
