J. T. LOVETT, Box 152, Little Silver, N. J. 
For 36 years a specialist in Berry Culture. 
flowers and plants from all corners of the 
earth will be seen, the marvels of the cele¬ 
brated plant wizard, of Mr. Luther Bur¬ 
bank's fields and gardens, will be found in 
a special exhibit section. Burbank’s plants 
are numbered bv the thousand. He has 
signified bis intention of producing a large 
and comprehensive exhibit of bis own 
and Nature’s prodigies of plant life. He 
has already engaged the services of a fa¬ 
mous Pacific Coast expert to process hun¬ 
dreds of bis fruits, flowers and other vege¬ 
tation for display at the Exposition. 
Japan has appropriated a million and a 
quarter dollars for its national exhibit, 
which will be set in a Japanese garden laid 
out by gardening experts from the Land 
of the Rising Sun. It is Japan’s inten¬ 
tion to lay out and plant this immense 
garden with a view to permanency and to 
present it to the city of San Francisco at 
the close of the Exposition. 
“Cluck ! Cluck !" Time to think of the 
poultry yard, sir. Time to think of incu¬ 
bators and the new broods and how to 
care for them. E. I. Farrington tells you 
how in the March House and Garden. 
Methods and Results of the 
Winter Spraying 
(Continued from page 98) 
Kerosene-Soap Emulsion. — D lb. hard 
soap, or 1 qt. of soft, 2 gallons of kero¬ 
sene, 1 gallon rainwater (if necessary to 
use hard water, "break" it with lye). Dis¬ 
solve the soap in the water by boiling. 
Take this from the fire and add the kero¬ 
sene immediately, while it is still boiling 
hot, churning the mixture violently the 
while by pumping it back upon itself 
through an open nozzle that will throw a 
strong stream. Usually five minutes of such 
churning will bring the emulsion, when 
the bulk will have increased by from one- 
third to one-half, and the mixture will be 
as thick as very rich cream. This is the 
stock, to be kept and reduced for use as 
needed. 
Solution “A” — Dilute one part of the 
stock with 10 parts of water for apple and 
pear trees. 
Solution “B” — Dilute 1 part of the 
stock with 15 parts of water for plum, 
peach, cherry, apricot, and all other trees 
and shrubs. 
Efficiency in the Flower Garden 
(Continued from page 105) 
The first essential in getting a success¬ 
ful flower garden started is that it shall be 
well drained. If the ground is sloping it 
is pretty sure to be all right in this re¬ 
spect. An examination of the sub-soil 
where the ground is level will usually 
show whether any surplus water can drain 
off quickly. Heavy soil with a hard-pan 
or impervious sub-soil are a bad combina-
