Peony Culture 
Would you give me information regard¬ 
ing the culture of peonies? Is it too late 
to set them this season? What is the 
most prolific and the best seller? 
Columbus, O. F. S. M. 
The peony is a gross feeder, and needs 
rich soil, with abundant moisture, but 
sufficient drainage to prevent stagnant 
water at the roots. A dry. sandy situa¬ 
tion will only result in disappointment, j 
Soil on which corn or some other hoed 
crop has been planted the previous year 
is excellent for peonies. While dry sand 
is objectionable, preference being given to 
clay loam, excellent results are obtained 
on sandy soil if there is enough moisture 
and fertility. Set the crowns 3% in. be¬ 
low the surface, in rows 3 ft. apart. Fall 
is the best time for planting, from Sep¬ 
tember 1 until freezing; the first half of 
September is the ideal time. They may 
also be planted in Spring if convenient, 
but Fall is preferable. Give a liberal 
mulch of well-rotted manure when the 
ground freezes. 
The following varieties are standard 
sorts for cut flowers and garden use: 
Festiva Maxima, white, early; Couronne 
d’Or. white, late; Edulis Superba. deep 
pink, extra early ; Jules Elie, deep pink, 
early; Livingstone, deep pink, late ; Felix 
Crousse, red. midseason; Duchesse de 
Nemours, white, early; Delicatissima, 
pale pink, early; Jeanne d’Arc, pink and 
white, early; Gismonda, very late, sal¬ 
mon pink, extra fine: Albert Crousse, 
pale pink, midseason; Avalanche, white, 
midseason ; Delaehei, red, late; Venus, 
blush white, medium. Better not try too 
many varieties at first; for commercial 
use you would be cpiite safe to start with 
the following half dozen : Venus, Festiva 
Maxima. Couronne d’Or. Delicatissima, 
Edulis Superba, Felix Crousse.

Eradicating Wild Morning-glory 
I have an asparagus bed, .size one-half 
acre, which is badly infested with morn¬ 
ing-glories. Is there any way to eradi¬ 
cate them? G. P. 
Central Valley, N. Y. 
The only successful method of eradi¬ 
cating this weed pefff that has as yet 
been tried or discovered, is to keep all 
top growth cut off for at least two years. 
iThis must be done at least once a week 
or 10 days, as the leaves are the lungs of 
the plant, and are the medium employed 
for conveying air, etc., to the root system. 
The persistent prevention of leaf growth 
will, eventually smother the roots out. In 
cultivated fields that can be gone over fre¬ 
quently it can be kept pretty well under 
control by horse-power cultivators, but 
cannot be smothered out entirely in that 
way. as all tops are not severed, and in 
a few days the plants will recover, par¬ 
tially at least, and go ahead again in a 
short time quite as vigorously as ever. 
Therefore, the only remedy is to smother 
it out by not allowing any top growth 
for a couple of years or longer. k.

Fall P i. a x t e d Strawberries.— 
(Page 1152). Here and southward I 
have found that the best time to set 
strawberries is in November. In North 
Carolina I have had a pretty full crop in 
Spring from November-set plants, and 
here we get a fairly good lot of fruit. 
This would hardly be the ease in the 
North. The advantage of the November 
setting is that the Summer and Fall 
droughts are usually over, and the soil 
does not dry out. They make consider¬ 
able growth up to near Christmas, espe¬ 
cially a strong root growth. Early Fall 
planting is too apt to be caught by dry 
weather. 
The Striped Cucumber Beetle.— 
Fine dust of any sort over the young 
plants will bother the beetles, but. a light 
dusting of lime arsenate (calcium arsen¬ 
ate! will finish them at once. I mix it 
with air-slaked lime, half and half. I 
have used it this season for all insect 
pests, and find that it is the most effective 
remedy for potato beetles, the striped and 
spotted Diabrotiea. The tobacco decoc¬ 
tion is all right for any form of aphides, 
but I have uever tried it for the cucumber 
; beetles. 
Dusting for Potato Beetles.— 
(Page 11531. The mixture of air-slaked 
lime and calcium arsenate dusted on the 
potatoes cleans the lame of the potato 
bugs off at once. One dusting cleaned 
up my potatoes, and last week I found 
that I had not been looking after the egg¬ 
plants closely enough, for 1 discovered that 
the larvae of the potato beetles were thick 
on the plants. I at once dusted them over 
with the lime mixture, and iu two or 
three hours not a living larva could be 
found. Doubtless the caustic nature of 
the lime has some effect. 
Alsike Clover. —The editor is right 
surely about Alsike clover. It will resist 
more unfavorable conditions than any 
;other clover. I have seen it three feet 
under water in a river flood that lasted 
several days. It came out rather muddy, 
hut soon shook it off. and iu a few days 
looked as happy as though there had been 
no flood. It will hold on when the soil 
gets as dry as a bone, and will imme¬ 
diately freshen lip when the rain comes, 
and it will last and become more of a 
perennial than any other of the _ true 
clovers. Lastly, it perfumes the air as 
I no other pasture plant does.

the outside husk 
what is within 
The vital part of a furnace is always covered up by a galvan¬ 
ized iron husk and unless you know how that furnace is built and why it 
is so built, you cannot tell whether it is going to heat your house or not* 
N P*Sterling Furnace 
The One Register Furnace 
Contains under its husk the highest grade Sterling furnace 
scientifically constructed, made by a firm whose ranges and 
furnaces are known to be of A-l quality. 
The N. P. is so designed that it will heat the entire house evenly 
through one register, and do .go with the least possible fuel. 
The cross section shows how and why it is built to make the 
air circulate rapidly—and upon rapid circulation the success 
of the one register furnace depends. 
A—Scientific Sterling construction insuring perfect combustion, 
and saving of fuel. 
B—Extra large heating dome which heats air passing around 
it more quickly and to higher temperature with less fire. 
C—Outside air passages keep the air cool way to the bottom of the fur- 
nJte and so make the air flow very swiftly into and thru the heating 
chambers D, and then pour it out with great force thru the register. 
These outside air passages are vital Sterling features. Here are some 
others: a cool cellar, feed door large enough for chunks of wood, heavy 
grey iron castings (no scrap used) special fire pot if natural gas and 
solid fuel are used, special three point dust and gas proof joints, extra 
large air moistener. 
It will certainly pay you to know about furnace 
construction before you buy a heating plant. 
Send today for our free book and name of nearest 
dealer, and see just what there is beneath the husk.
