THE GARDENING WORLD 
V. 
to put a fair-sized tuber in a 48-sized pot and the larger tubers 
in 32-sized pots, or three medium-sized tubers might be placed in 
the last size. When doing the potting all the 1 small tubers 
should be completely taken off and grown on separately, because 
by so doing the full-sized tubers will give more satisfaction in 
the way of flowering. If suckers come up before the plants have 
flowered you should keep them in check by pulling off the leaves 
unless you are scarce of stock. 
Stocks Failing. (D. W.) 
These are liable to the same enemies as Cabbages and Cauli¬ 
flowers. In some cases the roots may be attacked with the grab 
of the Cabbage fly, but more frequently they get attacked with 
the fungus that causes clubbing, or the Anbury disease. The 
fungus that causes this is Plasmodiophora Brassicae. The 
remedies to be taken are numerous, but, properly speaking, pre¬ 
vention is the best remedy. Where they have been attacked in 
tills way you should not sow or plant them again in the same 
ground for some years. We should also avoid planting them 
where Cabbages, Cauliflowers, and other vegetables of that class 
have been grown, recently. In the case of fly it would be well to 
tread the ground firmly before planting the Stocks, and to water 
them freely with soot water, which usually keeps the flies away 
from, laying their eggs there. 
Lilies not Showing Flowers. (G. D.) 
We think it most likely that the cause was due to frost in 
April, which crippled a large number of Lilies, especially those 
that come above the ground early. This is a matter that you 
could scarcely help at times, but it might be well to use a few 
Spruce branches, or something of that sort, to protect the Lilies 
as they come up, particularly if the weather is cold ancl un,- 
settled, as it has been during the past spring and summer. As 
soon as the weather becomes more settled, and all danger of 
night frosts is gone, the Spruce twigs may then be taken away.

The Wear and Tear of City Life. 
Why do so many of our City men look so sickly ? Because 
they drink too much tea, and when they are fagged out cannot 
take more substantial and nutritive food. The system thus 
gradually becomes weakened and debilitated ; there is no relish 
for food, no energy for work, and the whole of the physical and 
mental condition becomes seriously deranged. 
One City clerk—Mr. H. W. Elliott, 23, Norfolk Road, Canon- 
bury,.N.—writes :—“ I work late hours, but I find Dr. Tibbies’ 
Vi-Cocoa a delicious and stimulating drink. My doctor, grocer, 
and chemist speak very highly of it.” 
And if you use Vi-Cocoa regularly you will speak very highly 
of it too. Sold in 6d. packets and 9d. and Is. 6d. tins every¬ 
where.
