PETuSIAs As Por PLANTS. Though gen
orally grown as an annual, and allowed To
die by frost in the fall the petunia is really
perennial plant, and one may be preserved
indefinitely in a pot. They bear pruning
and pinching to any extent, and keep con-
tinually pushing new branches and forming
new Aower-buds, thus forming a beautiful
object all through the cold and dreary win
ter. The double varieties are commonly
selected for potting, but we prefer some of
the new blotched and veined sorts, multi
tudes OF which are now grown in flower gar
dens as ANIMALS. This is the time to root
slips Of these for winter towering in pots.
The cuttings root easily and quickly in most
rich soil, shaded from the direct rays of the
sun, and watered daily. They may be
trained into any desired shape in very
few weeks after they begin to grow, aud
may then be permitted to bloom. They can
be trained upon fan-shaped trelis; or, 10y
pinchipg the top aud ends Of the branches
be made TO assume the form of compact
bush.

REMEDY ron THE HoP LousF.-The two
following are English remedies for the hop
lousei First, a mixture of strong soapsuds,
with salt and saltpeter added sufficient to
make it about half as strong as beef briue.
Second, tobacco water made by boiling a
pound of tobacco stems, or other cheap tobae-
co, IN gallon of water These mixtures must
be applied by some sort Of sprinkler that will
throw them in fine spray against the under
side Of the leaves. The best implement for
this purpose that We have seen is the Page
pump and sprinkler, sold by most city seeds
men. We think, if We were going to use
either OF these mixtures, il would be the lat
ter, adding pint of soft soap to the gallon.
