THE  BUBAL  HEW-YOBKEB. 
ANSWEES  TO  OOKKESPOITDENTS, 
Note. — All  Mterii  of  VKiuiry  ntvKr  ek  nnyytyir- 
panied  with  the  nnuK}  arKi  adiiniss  of  the  writer. 
It  is  sehlom  we  cnn  nnriw  plainUt  from  leaves 
or  twigs  alotie.  The  flower  is  generally  indis¬ 
pensable. 
A.  M. — We  do  not  think  bulbs  of  Hyacinths 
or  Tulips  can  bo  purchased  in  the  spring.  If 
kept  out  of  the  ground  through  the  winter,  they 
would  be  greatly  injured  from  sprouting  and 
many  would  decay.  Tliey  begin  growth  as  soon 
as  severe  weatlmr  has  passed,  so  that  florists 
and  Hoodsmon  would  have  but  little  time  to  col¬ 
lect  and  offer  them  for  sale. 
B. ,  Newark,  N.  J. — The  versos  are  : 
“  Come  ainl  trip  it  as  you  ko 
On  the  Hjrht,  fajitastic  toe." 
The  author  was  Mir, ton. 
E.  C.  Sherwood.—!  should  like  to  ask  yon  if 
you  coidd  explain  to  me  the  cause  of  my  Olean¬ 
der’s  not  blooming  ?  It  was  cut  back  this  sum¬ 
mer  for  the  first  time.  It  formed  throe  branches 
and  budded,  but  the  bmls  blasted.  Was  it  be¬ 
cause  I  did  not  keep  it  moist  enough?  Ans.— 
Very  likely.  Why  does  not  onr  correspondent 
plunge  it  in  the  open  ground  for  the  summer  ? 
Oleanders  do  not  suiter  from  being  transplanted, 
and  they  form  among  shrubs  or  flowers,  by  their 
distinct  foliage,  a  very  pleasing  relief. 
B.  II.  C.,  Orlviws.—Wrtip  the  roots  in  damp 
moss  and  oover  with  oiled  manilla  paper. 
Mat  Smith,  Clurry  Valley.-  PloaHotcll  in  your 
paper  the  best  way  to  raise  hardy  Phlox.  Ans. 
— Sow  the  seeds  now  in  boxes  or  pots  of  light  soil. 
Some  yill  germinate  now— others  not  until  mid¬ 
winter,  or  even  spring.  They  may  also  bo  sown 
in  the  open  ground.  They  will  then  germinate 
in  early  spnng,  but  few  will  bloom  the  same 
season. 
M.  W.— The  perennial  Pldox  is  variable  in  its 
time  of  germination.  The  seed  should  bo  sown 
at  once.  Some  will  gertuiriatc  in  ten  days — some 
will  require  two  mouths,  or  even  more.  Do  not, 
therefore,  throw  aside  the  |)otH  or  boxes  in  which 
they  are  planted.  All  those  that  germinate  be¬ 
fore  May  can  bo  relied  upon  to  bloom  before 
frost. 
S,  B.  IK.— The  “  splint”  on  the  mare’s  log  is 
doubtless  the  cause  of  lameness.  These  Bplint.s 
are  sometimes  very  painful,  and  the  animal  will 
go  lame  when  traveling  on  hard  ground.  Ai>ply 
some  cooling  lotion  to  rednee  inflammation  and 
soreness,  giving  the  anima.1  rest  during  treat¬ 
ment.  \Vhou  the  heat  and  soreness  have  subsided, 
apply  a  blister  to  the  splint ;  then  bathe  with 
the  lotion  until  healed.  In  some  cases  the  euro 
will  bo  speedy ;  in  others  repeated  blistering  is 
necessary. 
An  Okl  Suh.sci'ibi>r.—Vloae(}  answer  the  two 
following  questions : — 1.  How  shall  I  jilant  Horso- 
chestnuts  and  when  ?  I  bought  one  quart  and 
planted  them  in  the  spring,  but  did  not  got  one 
to  grow.  The  nuts  were  good.  ‘2.  How  shall  I 
make  lager  beer  and  how  long  will  it  keep? 
Ans. — 1.  The  reason  why  the  Horsochestnuts 
failed  to  grow  was  bocanso  they  had  boeomo  too 
dry  through  koov>lug  them  over  winter.  All  such 
large,  coarse  nuts  will  not  withstand  much  dry¬ 
ing.  They  should  either  bo  jilanted  in  the  fall, 
soon  after  gathering,  or  bo  mixed  with  earth  or 
clean  sand,  and  then  buried  out-of-doors,  where 
they  will  bo  kept  moist  and  cool  until  spring, 
when  they  should  bo  sown.  If  you  will  try  this 
method  of  keeping,  success  is  pretty  certain. 
2.  We  ai'o  not  brewers  and  know  nothing  practi¬ 
cally  about  making  lager  beer. 
E.  .Y.— Will  “Frolic”  or  some  one  else  give  a 
picture  of  a  comfortable,  neat-looking  hood  for 
an  old  lady  who  does  not  lind  a  **  cloud”  suflicient 
to  keep  the  head  warm  ? 
Several  Correspomkiits. — Many  of  our  friends 
who  request  seeds  under  the  “  I.ittle  Announce¬ 
ment”  ask  how  to  treat  Phlox  and  Pelargonium 
seeds.  We  have  alrea<ly  answered  snoh  ques¬ 
tions  more  than  once.  Those  who  have  sunny 
windows  or  conservatories  may  ww’  at  once. 
Sow  Phlox  ono-eighth  of  an  inch  deep  in  Ught 
soil  placed  in  boxes  or  pots  well  drained.  A  small 
proportion  will  germinate  in  ten  days  or  so  ;  the 
rest  varying  from  throe  weeks  to  thi'oe  months 
Have  patience,  therefore,  and  all  will  bloom 
next  summer  or  fall.  Much  tlio  same  may  be 
said  of  Pelargonium  seeds,  tliough  a  larger  pro¬ 
portion  will  germinate  at  once.  Box  them  lightly 
and  water  ratJier  sparingly  while  the  seeds  are 
in  leaf.  Those  which  germinate  within  a  month 
will  bloom  in  early  summer. 
Young  Farmer — We  will  try  to  tell  you  all 
about  the  Jerusalem  Artichoke  in  om  next  num¬ 
ber,  with  several  lUustratious. 
Arbrjrundhu'isl. — Young  seedlings  from  the 
forests  may  now  be  taken  ujj  and  the*  tops 
pnmod  off,  if  need  be,  and  thou  the  roots  Jrcelcd 
in  for  protection  during  winter.  This  is,  per¬ 
haps,  the  best  method  to  be  adopted  b(;th  with 
smail  plants  and  large  ones.  There  will  be  no 
danger  of  such  trees  as  the  Beech  and  Maple 
bleeding  next  spring,  if  dug  up  and  the  pruning 
done  this  fall  •,  besides,  most  farmers  have  more 
time  to  spore  for  such  work  at  this  season  than 
in  the  hinrying  days  of  spring.
