ditions they should be thinned out care- 
fully. All broken roots should be cleanly 
severed above the bruise, and the cut 
should be made beneath, or on the under- 
side of the root. If the trees have been 
out of the soil long, or look shrivelled bury 
them completely in damp soil for a day 
or two. This revives them considerably. 
It is sometimes necessary to put a stake 
to support young newly planted trees, but 
this is not absolutely needful, and may be 
dispensed with in nicely sheltered posi- 
tions. If stakes are used, care should be 
taken to avoid mutilating the roots when 
driving them down. They should be on 
the side of the prevailing wind. On the 
whole, it may be fairly inferred that only 
a small proportion of the short-trunked’ 
sturdy trees of more recent plantings will 
require staking for the purpose of support, 
but a stake is at first necessary to indicate 
the position of the young tree when work- 
ing the soil. There are other considera- 
tions, such as suitable fencing, to keep out 
ground vermin, which must be properly 
attended to if the trees are to be a success. 
The following is a list of some of the most 
suitable trees for planting for commercial 
purposes. Do not plant a large number 
of varieties, but confine your attention to 
a few of the best of each class. Take 
into consideration any advantages of close- 
ness to markets or proved capabilities cf 
the locality for producing the finest early, 
medium, or late fruits, and go straight tor 
that particular object. A large collection 
may, during occasional years, yield the 
best return, but the grower who discovers 
what he can grow thoroughly well in his 
particular locality and specialises on that, 
will come out top during a run of seasons. 
Besides being well grown, his crops must 
at the same time mature tc meet a market 
which is not over-supplied, or if for oversca 
export to be ready to pack in time to be 
carried by boats leaving at the periods 
proved most advantageous. If the loca- 
lity is new to fruit-growing the planter 
acts wisely to begin with a fairly large 
number of varieties, and he may afterwards 
reduce them to sorts proving most suitable 
for the place.

The following design for the lunch or 
déjeuner table can be carried out with either 
Lilies of the Valley, Roman Hyacinths, or 
White Tulips. Have four pieces of pale 
green satin ribbin about 2 inches wide, two 
of the pieces about 27 inches long and the 
other two 54 inches each. Place them like a 
star in the centre, put a glass, china, or 
silver jar filled with either Lilies, Roman 
Hyacinths, or white tulips with plenty of their 
own leaves. I find that one of the old- 
fashioned cut-glass sugar bowls answers the 
purpose extremely well. Half a dozen blooms, 
with foilage, will amply fill the jar and be 
quite effective. At the ends of the ribbon 
place ‘little bowls of the same ware as the 
central jar, filled to match. Four, at most 
blooms will. be sufficient. 
Don’t expect hybrid perpetual roses to be 
perpetuality in bloom; the name is a mis- 
nomer. They only bloom in spring and 
autumn, and are sweet scented. The Tea 
roses are the true perpetual blooming roses, 
and the scent is reminiscent of tea. The 
hybrid teas like La France have, many of 
them, a sweet scent, and are everblooming,
