norder Carnations.

J. Douglas, in the Garden, states that
this beautiful plant may be grown in any
garden in town or country without any
further preparation of the soil than dig
ging it we'll up and giving It a good
dressing of stable manure. All soils are
not however, equally wen adapted for
carnations. II they Incline to be of a
clayey character, so much the better.
Light, sandy soils with a gravelly foun-
| dalton, are the least suited for carnation
culture. l have, however, grown them
well on such soil by digging or trench
ing them and placing a good layer of
manure at the bottom of the trench.
" hen the plants were put out, they were
also placed in a laver of loan about tive
inches deep spread over the surface.
Soil from melon bed Just suits carna-
tions; in fact, we generally utilize the
soil that has grown one class of plants
for the production of another class.
This year we wanted to put out sew.
| eral hundreds Of Seeding carnations
and as the ground is of clayev charac.
ter, the light, sandy soil from pots in
which hyacinths had grown was used to
| place on the surface instead Of melon
soil, which is heavy. Last year
planted in an ordinary hcrbaceous Dor
der some of our best carnations and
picotccs, and they lowered remarkably
well without any attention, except that
of the most ordinary kind. Florists of
old could not grow their flowers so well
as we do now, although they took more
pains to make up their carnatiOn beds
than some people do to make a vine bor-
der. There are very few carnations or
picotces that require coddling up in the
greenhouse. We grow them in pots to
obtain purer and better flowers for ex-
hibition or to produce an effect in the
greenhouse, but in any good garden the
same plants flower freely aud produce
useful flowers to cut for bouquets.

In front of window where worked
last summer was Il butternut tree. A
humming- bird built her nest on limb
that grew near the window, and we had
an opportunity 10 watch her closely, as
we could look right into the nest from
the window. One day there was heavy
shower coming up, and we thought we
would see if she covered her young dur.
ing the storm; but when the first drops
fell she came and took in her bill one Of
two or three large leaves growing close
to the nest, and laid this leaf over so it
completely covered the nest; then she
few away.
On looking at the leaf we found a hole
in it, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened to
or hooked on. After the storm was over,
the old bird came back and unlocked
the leaf, and the nest was perfectly dry.
