Narcissus Grown in Pot. 
T HIS was potted Sept. 26 in a mix¬ 
ture of rotted manure and sandy 
loam, the pot buried until January 1, 
when it was set in a dark cellar. Feb. 
17. it was brought upstairs and set in a 
north window (blinds closed and shut¬ 
ters opened) until the leaves became 
green, when it was placed in a south 
window. February 28 the first flower 
opened. March 1 the second flower 
opened. It lasted about six days. After 
bringing to the light it was watered with 
ammonia in the water once .a week. The 
flowers were very fine and large, and on 
long stems. s. k. u. 
R. N.-Y.—This, as shown in the pic- 
ture, is a very handsome trumpet Nar¬ 
cissus. Practically all of the Narcissi 
are suitable for pot culture, though the 
too rich a soil at any time of their life. 
A good clay loam, without any additional 
fertilizer, is the usual potting soil; as 
they become large specimens they are 
given manure water when the flowering 
period approaches. The plants should 
always be potted firmly; this tends to 
produce stocky growth and free flowering. 
Over-rich soil, loose potting and too 
much moisture all tend to reduce bloom. 
If these requisites are observed, and the 
plants are given abundant light and air, 
there should be no disappointment in 
blooming. As a rule geraniums are very 
healthy, but they are sometimes affected 
by foliage troubles due to rich, raw ma¬ 
nures.

POT-GROWN NARCISSUS GOLDEN SPUR. 
Poeticus sorts are not so easily handled 
as others. In the garden, we have not 
found Golden Spur permanent in the lat¬

two seasons with us. so we have sub¬

English Walnut Grafted on Black Walnut. 
Will the English walnut grafted on 
Klack walnut roots thrive in the climate 
of Western Pennsylvania, and how long 
will it take a tree, say two or three feet 
high, to come into hearing? c. c. T. 
New Castle, Pa. 
Daily accumulating evidence tends un¬ 
varyingly to show that English walnut 
growing in Pennsylvania is a suc¬ 
cess. Prof. Massey has lately expressed 
himself as favorably impressed with 
the- possibilities of this nut. Last week 
I received a package of beautiful 
Franquette walnuts grown in Pennsyl¬ 
vania on a tree grafted 18 years ago 
with scions from California. My own 
Franquette and Mayotte grafts, grown 
from California scions, went through the 
severe Winter of a year ago. unprotected, 
here in Connecticut with no injury. A 
walnut tree two or three feet high, if a 
seedling, may begin to bear at any age 
from eight or 10 years up, often lb years 
or longer. Sometimes seedling trees nev¬ 
er bear. A grafted tree may begin to 
bear any year, and is pretty sure to at 
from four to six years. Seedling trees 
are only for the man who wants the ex¬ 
citement of holding a ticket in a nut 
lottery for 15 or 20 years. Grafted trees

grafting, or merely inserted in the ver¬ 
tical cut in the bark. What is the 
method? h. a. m. 
' Gypsum, Ohio. 
The wood should not be split in graft¬ 
ing by the bark method but the bark only. 
The scion is trimmed on one side only 
and forced down between the bark and 
wood. This can only be done very late, 
when bark peels, but scions must be ab¬ 
solutely dormant. h. e. van deman.

Trouble With Geraniums. 
C AN you tell what is the reason our 
geraniums do not blossom? The slips 
were from good vigorous plants and 
■ ire now two years old. They have the 
'»est of care and as far as we can see are 
five from vermin of any kind. We have 
them in the house in regular flower pots 
and have tried horse, sheep and pig ma¬ 
nure mixed with good rich dirt. The 
[mints grow well, but will not blossom,

generous. Zonal Pelargoniums, com¬
