ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Mrs. C., Myc Bill, Pa— Wc have already 
stated but find it neoesaary to repeat that we do 
not sell plants to anybody- at any price -under 
any circumstances. Those of our friends who 
send ns a new aubscriher w ith their own renewal, 
or two new subscribers, are entitlod to a choice of 
any two plants enumerated under publisher’s 
Notices, together with a packet, of the seeds of 
the Bholl Flower or Molucca Balm —llolvrella 
Icevis. 
Luther Burbank, Santa Rosa, Cal. Gan Wis¬ 
taria Sinensis be propagated by cuttings ? Ans. 
—Freely, either of the roots or stems. 
V. W. Colt.- rieaivo answer through the Rn- 
rtAi., if you can. Last spring 1 purchased Heeds | 
of Mesembryunlh/'inuin cryttaUlnwn, and sowed J 
some in pots, in house, some in garden, Borne 
under glass. All came up alike, I think every 
seed, but soon all droop and die. The largest 
one had the fourth loaf appearing. 1 have tried 
six different ways on different soil and treatment 
—all die. Can you (1) inform mo how to succeed ? 
How (2) should the Primula Sinensis, Chinese 
Primrose, ho treated to give flowers ? 
Amv (T) You keep the seed beds too moist. 
(2) Divide the Primrose this spring and. 
placing in a frame, pot in the fall, using plenty 
of sand and well-rotted manuro or leaf-mold. 
Later they may be placed in a cool house for 
winter blooming. Do not give loo much water. 
Alice L —Can you tell me where 1 can procure 
a small mill, working by hand, suitable for 
grinding oats. One of small size and not ex¬ 
pensive. Also, is the Bergen County Poultry 
Association a reliable one. I wish to procure 
some eggs of Plymouth Rock fowls in the spring 
and would like to know. Ans. For a small mill 
address any of the dealers in agricultural imple¬ 
ments whose address yon find in our columns. 
Ybb, the Bergen County Poultry Association is 
considered trustworthy, and the members, as a 
whole, are gentlemen.
