It must be remarked that all Ibises are mil. 
hardy, and all are not eipially well adapted

used, the Hybrid Ibnuoiitaiit ami tlie Tea.

to eat jind drink; to li.-ive .at least four 
or five hours' snnsliine a day; to be niiilelied 
.after .July 1 st with grass or manure; to be 
well and often soaked witli water or weak 
inannre-water from August to October; to lie 
divided every year; to be tied up so as not 
to he broken by tlie wind; to be protected 
from severe frosts wben in (lower. 
What Chry.santliemuiiis d/nil like, s.ays the

ODE FLOWEE BASKET. 
'J'igrUlias should not be planted before all 
danger from frost is past. There arc now 
red, yellow, and white varieties. 
The most favorable time for planting and 
dividing herbaceous plants is spring. We 
would ratlier plant even late in spring than 
in autumn. 
A line bed could be made, says .lames 
Vick, with a Cactus or Yucca for the. cen¬ 
ter, surrounded bj"^ ICelievcria, raised a little, 
then Altemanthera, first a dark variety, fol¬ 
lowed by a light sliade, surrounded by 
Echeveria. Perhaps the Echeveria rimuing 
through the Altemanthera, forming some 
garland or ribbon-like design.
