after such a dry season. We should not root them 
up at once, as the lower portion of many of them will 
still be alive and may yet push away vigorously during 
the course of the summer. That they are unsightly 
there can be no question, but you may cut down the 
stems almost to the ground line, or to what appears 
to be live wood. If they do push tney may be 
expected to grow away vigorously at least next year, 
and soon replace the stems that have died. 
Galls on Ground Ivy. — W.J.: The Galls found 
on the Ground Ivy (Nepeta glechoma) are those of 
Aulax glechomas, one of the Cynipidae (or Gall-flies) 
which we are informed is not very uncommon, 
although we had not ourselves seen it before. 
Planting Polyanthus.— Omega : The usual plan 
is to lift, divide and replant Polyanthus immediately 
they have done flowering, because they have not very 
much foliage at that time, and are about to make 
their growth. You do not give us any particulars as 
to whether the plants are in the ground now or not. 
If so they could be transplanted, but you would have 
to do it carefully, and keep them well watered and 
even shaded in bright sunshine till they take fresh 
root. If in pots, pans, or boxes, all you have to do is 
to well prepare the ground, using decayed leaves or 
old hot-bed dung as manure, then plant and water 
till established. In such dry weather as the present, 
we should defer planting till September or October 
when the ground is moist.
