These Troublesome Pests

How to Protect tho Cabbage Plant from
These Troublesome Pests.
Cut worms often do considerable mis-.
chief In cutting off plants newly set out
IN tho field. These are bred from eggs
laid by various night flying moths. They
eat during the night and during the day
lie concealed under rubbish or beneath
the surface of the soft ground. They
choose low, succulent plants and grapes,
feeding on cabbages and corn only as by
accident they come to them or for lack
OF something else. Cut worm iniurie.
to cabbages may be averted by planting
them only where there has been clean
culture for several months previous, but
this Is not always convenient 10 do. As
soon as ground infested by these worms
Is plowed those not destroyed by the
plowing and narrowing or by the birds
may be trapped by making small heaps
OF weeds and grapes at little distances
apart, under which they will collect and
hide and where they may be found for
several mornings and destroyed.
The cabbage plant louise is often de.
structive, and SO numerous as to cover
the whole plant and hinder its deyelop.

How 10 Pruue HYBRID Roses.

John Henderson tells in Popular Gar
dening how TO prune hybrid roses. Tho
pruning should be done the second or
third week in March, though l have
known the first week in April to be early
enough. First take out all the small or
sickly looking shoots, then prune the re-
mainder from six to eighteen inches, nc
cording to their growth. Many shoots
show black blotches or rings on the last
years growth, and in such cases the
shoots should DO cut away below such
spots, even II you have to prune down to
tho plant itself. AS general rule mod
erato growing sorts should be pruned to
about six inches, and strong growing
ones from twelve to eighteen inches. Tho
whole pith Of the subject Of pruning and
aftergrowth depends on the careful OBJ
servance Of the habits Of each individual
plant, also the object in view; some pre-
fer to have their plants dwarf and
bushy, and to do this they must be kept
well pruned in; but such us have small
gardens should not prupe too closely,
rather aiming to make fine, tall bushes.
as gardens are generally so surrounded
by trees, fences, etc, that 1t Is only when
tho bushes get to considerable height
that they can obtain the light and air,
which no plant requires more than the

A story is now going the rounds about
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain's recent wooing
and marriage that may interest Amer
lean readers. By a romantic coincident
Mr.. Chamberlain's son, Austin, played
an important part in his fathers mar
riage to Miss Endicott. The young man
had met the lady at Washington the year
before Mr.. Chamberlain went there to
negotiate the fisheries treaty. On his re-
turn he gave such glowing accounts Of
Miss Endicott that his father determined
to meet the secretary's family and took
an introduction from his son for this
purpose. The sequel is known. The
spell Of fascination was cast over the
father, as it had been over the son, and
the older gentleman, perhaps In expert
ence bolder in matters Of the heart,
woed and won the lady, who is younger
than any of his children, for his BRIDE
st. Louis Star Sayings.

PI4AN bOh FRONT YARD tAhDEN.
The above question is in part replied to
by Popular Gardening In the annexed
engraving, patterned after an actual ex-
ample. Hero is small front area laid
out on graceful plan, which provides
not only quite a fair proportion Of green
sward, but also borders for holding 800
shrubs, largo and small, and hardy
plants, besides many summer bedding
plants. There is also n vino covered
arbor in the front right hand corner. Tho
features Of this garden arc indicated by
letters in the engraving, as follows: a,
entrance to home; b, street entrance by
the front yard walk; C, street entrance to
walk to rear of house; d, vino covered
arbor: Q, walks; {, grass; &, small flower
beds; Ii, small shrubs and hardy flowers
In borders; 1, larger shrubs in borders; j,
vine covered fence.
What IS especially commendable In
this plan, says Popular Gardening, Is
that the center with being open and oc-
cupied mainly with green sward tends to
impart an air OF breadth and reposo to
the scene, scarcely inferior to what it
would be IL the hundreds Of shrubs and
plants Of tho marginal borders were alb
sent, while tho nero fact that these lat
ter objects are present, attracting the
eye, seems also TO direct attention from
the actual size Of the interior part. In
other words, here Is plan for making
tho utmost Of n small area, and 30 occu-
pying tho space with a diversity Of OBJ
jects as to lessen the idea Of its small size.

Some of the New Grnncs.

At recent meeting of the Ohio Horti-
cultural society, G. w. Campbell stated
that the Jewel is hardy, healthy, of good
size, early, and fine quality, ripening
about the middle Of August, nearly equal
to the Delaware. Nectar Is black, hand
some, with regular and largo clusters.
Eaton later than Concord and more acid,
Woodruff is valuable, Pocklington hardy,
but late in ripening. Tho Witt is good
new variety and worthy Of cultivation.
Us is also tho Colerain. Mary's Favorite,
Seeding from the Delaware, is Of excel
lent quality. OF new varieties he said he
had rejected hundreds, many being valu-
able In some respects, but not up to his
standard. Mildew and grape rot can be
efrectually thwarted by tho use of sui
phate OF copper. Eau Celeste having
also proven eirectual in numerous expert
ments, is reliable and inoffensive.

Bntntncs for SacIl.

Tho importance of healthy tubers for
seed Ia too well known to require moro
than a mere mention. Another import
ant fact Is that no crop benefits more
from frequent change of seed than po-
tatoes. On the subject of cutting pota-
toes for seed, well known English au-
thority says: "Many growers prefer
planting the sets whole. OF course it
economies the seed if one potato can be
made To do the work of two, but we
question whether the cut potato makes
the safest seet, especially on farms that
arc addicted to potato disease. The great
drawback to tho whole potato has been
that it sends up too many stems together
and the crop is injured by overcrowding.
But is 1t not possible 10 prevent this by
extracting all the eyes excepting, say,
two? We should think there would bo
littlo difficulty about that; there can be
no doubt that the whole set this far de-
pleted of its sprout eyes would have
more nourishmcnt to support tho young
plant than the Seeding that has been
cut. Its nourishment, moreover, would
be concentrated on the two shoots left,
which would tend to strengthen and
fortify them for the battle of life"

In tho Apple Orchard.

At tho annual convention Of the Con.
necticut fruit growers 7. s. Gold, Of West
Cornwall, expressed the opinion that tho
Baldwin Is tho most profitable apple
that can be raised in Connecticut, or per.
haps In New England. The Newtown
pippin is the most expensive apple in the
market, but not ono farmer In ono hun
dred knows anything about It. To tho
conditions Of tho apple tree soil is an i'm.
portant factor. A treo will die ON O
hard, dry, drained subsoil. The best soil
for the Baldwin apple is heavy, well
drained, mellow soil, or, in other words,
good corn land. Tho soil in tho orchard
should DO cultivated till the trees get to
the bearing age. Too much plowing Is
bad, and it never pays to try and get an
other crop, for instance rye. in tho orch
ard. For family use he recommended
tho planting Of many varieties, from the
early summer apple to tho Northern Spy
for winter.

At the meeting of the Society of Amer
lean Florists in this city last summer, a
resolution was adopted setting forth the
advantage to the trade Of flower pots of
uniform size and shape, and u copy of
the resolution was sent to all tho pot
teries in the United States. In response
to this call, says Tho Garden and Forest,
tho Whilldin Pottery company has al
ready placed the standard pot upon the
market, and other manufacturers will,
no doubt, follow tho example. Besides
tho evident gain from uniformity, the
rim at the bottom Of these pots saves a
great deal of tho loss from breakage
when they are set down smartly on the
bench to settle the soil. The added band
stiifens them at the top, and they can be
packed more closely and securely.

At the last annual meeting Of the New
Jersey Horticultural society, ut Trenton,
numbered with other interesting sub
jects considered was "Worthy Fruits,
New and Old, Not Much Disseminated"
This was the topic Of paper read by
William II. Ward, and following are ex.
tracts from Secretary L. Williams re-
port of the same:
Mr.. Ward opened the subject by nam
Ing tho Kieffer pear, which has been 80
persistcntly written and talked against.
It has, however, in certain localities been
extensively planted, and, from It coming
Into bearing early, giving large crops
md bringing fair prices, those who are
now growing it are not disappointed.
Those who claimed superior flavor for
this variety brought TO certain extent
the unfavorable comments that It has
received, but as a cooking variety It has
no equal, In Mr.. Wards opinion. He
claims for 1t, taking all things into con-
sideration, that it will be q popular
variety for the state of New Jersey. A
pear commended as high favored and
good for family uso was Dana's Hovey,
an old variety though one that is little
grown. The Quinn pear has been tried
md found to be one Of the best varieties
for an amateur. or planted in small
quantities by the grower
Among tho Strawberries, moro Of tho
Jessie were noticed in the markets last
year than ever before, but experience
seems to prove that this sort does best in
heavy clay soils. Tho Davis has received
considerable notoriety from its similarity
to the Sharpless in general appearance,
in growth, color and productivcness, and
In size they cannot be distinguished. Mr..
Ward, who has seen these varieties
grown side by side, could discover but
little difference between them. Mr.. Gold
smith, who has grown them quito extern
sively, claims that they are firmer and
stand up longer than the Sharpless.
There is a standing prejudice against
yellow raspberries for market purposes.

Fays currant is sustaining its reputa-
tion and Is worthy of dissemination and

In cherries, among the sour varieties
was recommended the Montmorency, as
1t comes in after the Early Richmond.
The English Morcllo was pronounced a
good variety, though not much grown.
Moore's Early grape was pronounced
one of tho very best of tho early black
grapes, coming in before Concord. 1t
commands generally high prices. The
Ives, Champion and Concord come in
about the same time from Delaware, yet
the Moore's Early, being in better con-
dition, sells readily. The Niagara was
mentioned and said to be worthy of
wider dissemination. 1t generally com.
mands high prices.

Tho Propagation of the Cranberry.

Cranberries are propagated from the
roots or cuttings, usually the latter, and
their successful culture requires bog or
piece of peaty ground, thoroughly cleared
off and in situation that can be flooded
and the water drawn off as required.
After the spot is prepared it should be
covered with sand from two TO four
inches in depth, in which the roots or
cuttings are set. These can be obtained
from any neighborhood where cranber.
