Destroying Insects by Camomile. le.-In

not only that decoclions of the leaves OF
the common camomile will destroy insects
but that nothing contributes SO much to
the health ola garden as number of ca
momile plants dispersed throughit. No
green house or hot house should ever be
without camomile in green or dried state;
either the stalks or the flowers will answer.

ping and apparently dying, in nine cases
out often it will recover ifyou place plant
