and white sort belonging to the latter, which is very 
common in country villages. The Banksian Roses 
are too small and insignificant to litter thegrouhd to 
any great extent. There is ah evergreen Rose of the 
name of F^licite Perpetu6, with flesh-coloured 
flowers, so that possibly this is the plant you refer 
to. 
Retarding Bulbs in Pots. — W. S. : The unusually 
mild season must be held accountable for the 
advanced stale of the bulbs plunged in cOcoanut 
fibre. It would be n@ advantage to place them in 
frames or houses, unless the frames face the north. 
The best plan, probably, would be to transfer the 
pots to a northern aspect, under a wall, so as to pre¬ 
vent them getting direct sunshine. In case of frost, 
they would also be safer here, tecause they would 
thaw gradually instead of quickly, if in direct sun¬ 
light. To save the foliage in case of suddeh frost, 
you could spread a dry mat over them at sundown. 
Propagating Golden PifiYet.— A. C. : Take cut¬ 
tings of the young wood, that is, last year's shoots 
and cut them into lengths of 6 ins. to g ins. Spread 
some sandy soil from beneath the benches, and 
some leaf soil on the ground you wish to be occupied 
with the cuttings. This may be on a half shady 
border, or, if you care to, you can fill a frame with 
them. Dig the soil over, mixing the fresh material 
with it. Make straight-edged trenches as you pro¬ 
ceed, insert the cuttings as you would those of a 
Gooseberry, and tread the soil firmly about the 
cuttings. Water later on, if necessary, during dry 
Weather. Smaller cuttings may be used, if you in¬ 
sert them in sandy soil in pots. By placing the 
latter on a gentle hot bed, roots will be produced 
more quickly.

not been recognised, and is getting out of season.

EPPS'S COCOA. 
Extract from a Lecture on “ Foods and their Values,” 
by Dr. Andrew Wilson, F.R.S.E., etc.—" If any motives— 
first, ol due regard for health, and second, of getting full food- 
value tor money expended—can be said to weigh with us in 
choosing our foods, then I say that Cocoa (Epps's being the most 
nutritious) should be made to replace tea and coffee without 
hesitation. Cocoa is a food ; tea and coffee are not foods. This 
is the whole science of the matter in a nutshell, and he who 
runs may read the obvious moral of the story”.
