There’s a Secret in 
Growing Good Celery!

Horticultural Notes 
smaller sores were treater! just the same. 
After 24 hours most of the iodine stains 
had disappeared. The shin was again 
washed as before with soap and water, 
dried, and a second application was 
made, followed six bouts later by a third. 
Careful attention was paid to any possi¬ 
ble signs of iodine poisoning, such res red¬ 
ness or burns, or any effects from absorp¬ 
tion of the drug, which is known to occur 
in certain individuals. However, no un¬ 
toward cotriplication became noticeable, 
and the patches healed up. most of the 
minor ones after one good application, 
i. e„ allowing the first to dry and paint¬ 
ing again until a good deep-yellow, yet 
still light brown stain resulted. The 
sores on the shins had healed up after a 
week—three applications of tincture of 
iodine sufficed. During all this time the 
Training Tomatoes 
I do a little gardening and have paid 
special attention to the coultivating and 
improving of the tomato in this section. 
Twenty years ago I tried crossing the 
Poiuferosa and Stone, I wanted to get 
the roughness and pink color out of the 
Ponderosa and get the size and color of 
the Stone into the new tomato. I got a 
good, large, solid, red tomato, and I have 
saved ray own seed every year out of the 
best tomatoes I grew. 
I think the great mistake some farmers 
make is putting out plants of half a doz¬ 
en varieties, pink, yellow and red. Con¬ 
sequently their fruit comes all mixed aud 
You can bleach celery white and clean without boards— so 
that it brings the highest prices. How is it done ? 
You can use a cheaper bleacher than boards—something that 
will do the work better and cost less. What is it ? 
Here is the Answer

the iodine was resorted to. ore not neces¬

poisoning with ivy did I observe failure 
or ill effects, and a good many have been 
kept under observation during the last 
three years.

irritation from the application of iodine, 
an application of a starch poultice might

the application of iodine, it is suggested 
that it not he resorted to until the treat¬

Home-grown Gloxinias 
I noticed in a recent issue of The 11. 
N.-Y. an inquiry in regard to Gloxinias, 
by Mrs. G. H. C. I have grown Glox¬ 
inias for some years; have over 100 
plants now. I have noticed many times 
that a sort of blight comes on the leaves 
and tlie plant will die down, but if it is 
allowed to rest awhile it usually starts 
again. The trouble with most people 
growing these plants is they haven’t pa¬ 
tience enough. If the plants die down, 
they throw them away. 1 have noticed 
the black flies Mrs. G. 11. C. speaks of; 
they seem to breed in the soil, hut I do 
nor think they do much harm. Some¬ 
times I cover the top of the earth with 
tobacco, where they seem too numerous. 
It is easy to grow Gloxinias from a 
leaf. Fill a shallow box two-thirds full 
of earth. Have a short stem on the leaf, 
and cut the rib that runs through the 
leaf on the under side in several places 
crosswise of the leaf. Lay the leaf flat 
on the earth, bury the stem, and sprinkle 
a handful of earth over the leaf. Make 
it quite moist and cover with a window 
pane. Set on the porch in the bright 
sunshine. You will find a bulb whom¬ 
ever you cut the leaf: also one on the 
end of the stem. I have grown five from 
one large leaf, but they must not be al¬ 
lowed to dry out. Now is the best time 
to start them, but they can be started 
any time during the Summer, and must 
he kept growing all Winter if you want 
them to put forth leaves and blossoms 
the following Spring. MRS. M. F. MUDGE.

Ottawa gives what he considers au uu- 
failing cure for ivy poisoning, one that 
succeeded after all the usual popular and 
scientific recipes had fulled. 11 is state¬ 
ment is as follows: 
“The oozing sores were washed per¬ 
fectly clean with soap and water, fol¬ 
lowed by rubbing with 05 per cent alco¬ 
hol—which latter did no good—hut the 
sores were then dried with a clean ab¬ 
sorbent towel and were painted over from 
one to throe times with a cotton wool 
plug dipped into tineiiire of iodine—the 
usual 11. I\ tincture—although later on 
in cases of adults the Uhurehill tincture 
was often used. This application caused 
profuse oozing, and the ooze was absorbed 
by dusting with borucie acid powder. The 
application of the iodine tincture did not 
cause any pain other than that resulting 
from the actual mechanical touch. The
