much better results may be obtained
by composing all the available ma
nure with all the purchased fertilizers,
mixed with sufficient muck or soil
to prevent too violent termentation-
and to distribute the entire bulk over
ali the land TO be cultivated. We all
know that in seasons of severe drouth
ordinary fertilizers rarely produce
the desired results, and that TOO much
rain carries a considerable part of
fertilizing matter below the reach Of
roots; composts, however, by reason
OF the minute division OF the active
principles contained in them, are i'm
mediately available as plant TODD,
and, by being evenly scattered over
the surface, benefit all plants alike,
and become absorbed in shorter
time than raw fertilizers.
To obtain the best results from
composts, it is advisable to divide the
quantity to be used during the season
into several parts, and to apply them
at different intervals instead OF using
all at one time. We practice a SIM
liar method in feeding our animals !;
we are careful to give them all, and
no more, than they will eat up clean
at one meal, else part of the fodder
becomes wasted and useless, while
with judIcious feeding nothing is
wasted, and ali the provender goes
to strengthen the animal. The same
principle underlies the system OF
feeding plants.
will not take up your time by
entering into the details OF preparing
compost heaps, but / am sure that
any one who viii give composted
fertilizers fair trial will soon become
convinced Of their great vaiue in

Irish POtatOes-HOw to Get a

j. S. N. in Southern World.
It is often the case that success IN
certain branches of horticulture de-
pends upon apparent insignificant
circumstances which are derived only
from practical experience. There
is little difficulty in producing good
crop ofsIrish potatoes from the spring
crop, if planting is done early in tho;
roughly prepared and well manureo
soil The Irish potato rernires' an
abundance of moisture, and this Is
usually secured for the spring crop.
Indeed. this can be secured lnde~
pendently of seasons by mulchlng

The principal trouble, however. in
our climate, is in keeping the first
crop through our long summers.
Tbev either sprout or shrivel Or both

to get a supply Tor winter use from
our own gardens. -,
This has been accomplished will

small potatoes from the spring crol
lust as the sweet potatoe is bedde(
, Tor slips in the spring. When th'

By the saucer system higher degree of

provided the water IS not allowed to dry

will not endure a long continuation
OF very high temperature, and we would
advise that propagat ion be done at such
seasons that they may have as near as
possible uniform temperature of rs

The Propagation of Plants by
Seeds and Sins.

Peter. Henderson, in Ladies' Floral Cabinet for
July.
One of the most interesting opera>
tions in the culture of flowers to the
amateur is that of being able to prop
agate or increase the stock of favor
ite plant from seed or from cuttings.
It is not so much the saving by being
himself the producer as it is the salts
faction of being able to say that this
is one Of my own raising. Such plants
are usually more valued than the high
est.priced plants purchased from the
florist. OF late years the methods Of
raising plants from seeds and cuttings
have been so slmplified that even the
inexperienced amateur OF toeday Is
usually more successful than the aver
age professional oftwenty years ago.
The raising of plants from seeds can
be done nearly as well in the window
of any ordinary sitting room as in
greenhouse, if the following direc-
tions be carefully complied with:
Seed should be sown in shallow
boxes of a depth not to exceed three
inches, with open seams at the bot
tom to permit the water to pass off
rapidly. These boxes should be
filled within half an inch or so of the
top with light rich soil. This is best
composed Of old rotted manure and
soil that is formed from sods, the OBJ
iect beng to get soil that is triable,
through which the water will filter
quickly. This soil should be run
through a seive as fine as mosquito
wile, at least that portion on the top
which is to receive the seeds. The
soil should then be made as level in

Work FOT. July.

The month of July is an impor-
tant time in the growth of vegetation,
the humidity and heat rushing plants
and trees along with amazing speed,
causing the dormant energies of
vegetable lite, during the two last
hot months to spring anew into active
growth so much so, that no month
is more effectively "verdure cladn
than is this-the opening of the rainy
season. Much work of miscellaneous
nature can be undertaken, and in the
case of removals and transplanting
it affords every opportunity by timely
application in choosing overcast or
drizzling rainy days for the purpose.
Among things to be taken in hand
we you'd mention strawberry beds,
making new and renovating and fill~
ing up old plantations; Guinea grass
dividing clumps and extending its
culture. Between now and fall it is
astonishing how much valuable for
age, and an excellent feed for horses,
COWS and stock can be made with
but little exerlion and outlay and it
behooves every one who keeps stock
to make use OF this grass to the ut>
most. 1t is best to have the Guinea
grass patch by itself, although it
will grow among the orange trees it
still deserves special pains and cul>
ture. Sweet potatoes make abun>
dance OF succulent growth in their
last years quarters and on early
planted ground, that no difficulty is
experienced in carrying on their cul>
ture indefinitely. Newly cleared
ground suits them exactly, and on
ground long cultivated there is ten

adds very much to the facility of us
ing the scytbe upon it, if after the
working OF the grove this month, 8
roller be run over the ground to leveI
any irregularity OF surface. Weeds
getting ahead of one now will tax the
possessor to the utmost and their
seeding only tends to recurrance
more aggravating another year. On
"clean culture" groves the harrow
run once fortnight will do much to
keep weeds under control. Cow
peas can still be sown and where
such are sufficiently mature, the stems
can be utilized to bury around orange
trees. Cow peas make good fodder
when dried, and probably in this
manner the best results will be found
by giving them to stock, afterwards
using the manure made in this wav.
Soillng the ground with green crop
is very well in its way and where a
better method cannot be made use of.
1t should not be discouraged, still it
is much the same as robbing "Peter
to pay Paul" The working that
must necessarily be done with MANY
to cultivate and bury the peas, in too
many instances under our observa.
ton, is no inconsiderable item, as
SO much additional cultivation and
where the minimum of culture is too
often afforded the results of the COW
pea regime cannot but be beneficial
and telling in its effect for time.
The offsetts around pine-apples
should be taken off before the fruit
swells, and rooted to make provision
for further extension. This will all

size. Offsetts are best rooted at once

enter at length into specific directions
for the many varieties of plants.
For plants in general, however, the
safe average temperature would be
sixty.five degrees. If the plants are
of a tropical nature the temperature
may be ten degrees higher; if of a
hardy nature, ten degrees lower.
Plants OF a hardy nature tor that
reason may be sown any time during
the months OF January, February and
March, while all plants OF tender
nature, such as coleus, cannas, bal.
sans, begonlas salvias, ETC., shonld
not be sown before April, and in
most cases would be better in May
in the1atitude of New York.
The conditions required for propa.
eating plants by cuttings or slips are
very nearly the same, as far as TEN
perature and soil go, as are found to
give the best results in raising from
seeds. In fact, it makes but little
difference what the soil is tor roofing
cuttings, provided it is porous. We
have experimental with nearly every.
thing, and find there is little choice,
although it is our practice to use or.
dinary building sand, as it is cleaner
to work with than anytime Use, and
when watered never ge.s muddy, as
heavier soil would do. But do not
