MTJLCHIN9 WITH LITISO PLANTS. |f|f . 
Few understand how large an amount of water Tipi/ ,/4/y 
is given off by plants during their growth. Our u'7 • 
attention wag particularly called to this subject 
many years ago, by a fact which we will relate, and |p\ x ''Y j 
since that time, we have been endeavoring to gain , \ 
information both by observation and reading. We /■' 
had a strawberry bed, of about fifteen by thirty 
feet, of which we were proud. The soil was a yel- * 
low, sandy, chestnut learn, and we had highly ma- ... .c - 
nured and dug it at least eighteen inches deep.— ^ 
The plants were set out in summer about two feet 
apart, grew well, and made a few runners. The T a# !«§ 7 f»| 
next summer they bore a fair crop, and threw out —V\^■-^'V '7 
very strong runners. After enough plants had v|»' \ ■:'■ yMP’ y , v/ A \:A 
been formed to stock the ground, the runners were t .Jill M»\f ■%■, fW miMM Mfi ■ W^WMh 
stopped, and in the fall a little coarse manure was j \ ' \f\J 
thrown over tho bed. The next spring this was l 
raked off. In all our experience we never saw >. N . ; . , 
strawberry plants make such a vigorous growth. f ' . ‘ :• 
The leaves and leaf stems were of extraordinary f 
size. The plants, though, of course, somewhat /U^?r " 7 - j\ ^ 
irregular, stood about four inches apart. The I s 
prospect for fr.it was good. One evening, after a ' -/j , 
warm day, as the earliest berries began to color, UHlllr 
we went home and beheld with consternation our \y0lm<-W' Afm!' ifer -% 1 i 1 ' tflllir"• 
fine strawberry bed in ruins. Every plant was 
laying flat on the ground and wilted. At first we 
supposed that some unruly horse or cow had gained . m§K^HW CH ^W*n&Pw4M W ’ >A 
access to the garden and had been rolling upon it. k • V- • I Ww/ff 
But, finding no foot prints, and learning that we ■-■■■ 
had been visited with no such intruders, we set ' ' A f ' • H / y y :*<■'//' Jh \ 
about to ascertain the cause. Taking a spade we { , . ' ' / ■ \ 
dug down afoot or more, and found the soil as dry * ^ ■ \ I 
as powder. There did not seem to be a particle of \ 1 \ __ ^ 
moisture in the soil. Wo then examined the soil 
of a strawberry bed near by, made in the spring, AfA R YvK 
where there were but few plants to shade the Jjjpjf J ) 
ground, and found it moist. This was also the case Mm BMp.’ v 
with the soil of other parts of the garden. The ■ -Jk 1 ■ : 
idea was thus forced npon us that the large amount ~ IflffR. I II \% MmL M ‘' ' 
of foliage was the cause of the dryness of the soil ,, ffl^K MB 
and the wilting of the plants. With a spade we at v'flRX iff 
once dug under about two-thirds of tho plantain ^ IBB ’) US 
the bed, leaving them in rows about four or five '*■ : ':j ‘ff ; v | 
inches wide with the width of the spade between ' '■ ’ Wm 
the rows. A thorough watering was then given, 
and the space between the rows covered with 
coarse manure. Tho wilted plants that remained CARNATION I 1 LOWERED PEACH,

rience we got the idea into our head, where it still In the Rural of January 9th, we described the prising nurserymen lose sight of no rare plant of
