Gleanings.

Plant Thunbergia seed the hollow side
down.
The Dahlia was known only as single
flower twenty-five years ago. The first
double one appeared in 1914.
Dahlia cuttings are rooted in sand in
the ordinary way. Thesoil to grow them
in should be neither light nor heavy, but
exceedingly rich.
New varieties of Dahlias must beraised
from seed.
Grating sometimes increases the size of
fruit and is made the means OF adapting
plants to adverse soils, and often modi-
fies the size of the plant.
The new abution Eclipse not only has
fine foliage but retains it's blossoms, and
blooms freely.
Put four or five buds of Roman Hya-
cinth into one pot for good results in
Latania Borbonica palms are widely
used for decorative purposes.
A wise lover of flowers provides loan
and sand, and moss, boxes and pots, in
the fall for work in the spring. 1t saves
both loss and vexation.
The best way to start flower seeds is in
shallow boxes.
A small iron wash sink Or one made Of
zinc, set in q frame like q table in the
sunshine, with an ordinary kerosene lamp
underneath, is an excellent amateur hot
bed. 1+
The Daphne Indica requires good drain
age.
Impatiens Sultani cuttings root as free
ly as coleus.
No garden should be without bed Of
narcissus.
Lilium auratum is most satisfactory
pot plant.
The best asters are the transplanted

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness Hay Fever a
New Home Treatment.


New Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, orthat they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the nose
and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
fact. and the result of this discovery is
that g simple remedy has been formula
ted whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in
wo weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff
or an ointment; both have been discard
ed by reputable physicians as injurious.
A pamphlet explaining this new treat
ment is sent on receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. H. Dixon
& Son, 1877 and 800 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada.-Christian Advocate.
Sufferers from Catarrh troubles should
carefully read the above.

Cycas.

The several species or varieties of cycas,
or as they are commonly but enormously
termed Sage Palms, form, when taken
together, small but very handsome
genus Of greenhouse plant belonging
to the natural order Cycadac@a. They
may be described as being ornamental ev-
ergreen plants, handsome in appearance,
having q cylindrical, usually unbranched
stem, surmounted by crown of hand
some pinnate dark green leaves from two
to six feet in length, and of thick text
ure.
Although popularity known as Sage
Palm the title is an erroneous one, since
the plants have nothing to do with palms
and furnish none of the Sage of COM
merce. In their native homes, however,
the pith contained in their trunks is pre-
pared by the natives into an article Of
food somewhat similar to the Sage, and
on which it is said that they live for
several months in the year. From this
fact, [ presume, the error arose in which
so many persons suppose the Cycas to
be the plants that furnish the Sage of
commerce.
AS window garden plants while small,
and as decorative plants for the green
house during the winter and the lawn
during the summer, when larger the
Cycas is surpassed by none, as on &C
count OF the thick texture OF the leaves
they are not liable to receive any injury;
besides this the plants are readily Guilt
waited and are not subject to the attacks
OF insect pests.
To cultivate the Cycas to perfection
they should be given an ample supply of
pot room for their roots; q compost
composed of two-thirds turfy loan, one
third well decayed manure, and a fair
sprinkling of bone dust. In potting al
ways use pourous OrsOft baked pots and
let them be proportionate to the size of
the plants. See that they are we'll
drained, and in potting be very careful to
avoid iniuring their thick rope-like roots.
During the plants season of growth
they should be given as warm and moist
an atmosphere as possible, and an
abundant supply of water both overhead
and at the roots, and if the plants are
well supplied with roots an occasional
application of liquid manure at this time

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
Flowers at the Ohio State Fair.

Having made q visit to the late Ohio
State Fair, thought that perhaps few
items thereof might not be uninteres ting
to portion of your readers. The
grounds are situated two miles north of
the Columbus Union Depot, and lie along
side OF the railroad track. All of the
buildings are new and cOmmOdiOus and
of q substantial character, as the
grounds were purchased and fitted up for
the permanent use but five years ago.
They are at present almost entirely desti-
tute of shade, but are we'll decorated by
q liberal diffusion OF newly transplanted
ornamental trees and Towering shrubs.
They also contain several artificial lakes.
Here were several large cOnical shaped
mounds, thickly set to scarlet lowered
geraniums.
On arriving at the main building, con-
tanning the agricultural, horticultural
and floral products, beheld profusion
OF bouquets, wreathes and crosses,
wrought out of large flowers that pre-
sented quite creditable appearance. OF
green house plants and shrubs | found
the supply to be ordinarily good. There
was fine display of palms, geraniums,
lilies, plumbagoes and roses; among the
latter [ recognized a solitary specimen of
that universally popular favorite La
France. There was likewise a Grape
Myrtle in full bloom that won the admir-
alton OF many. But in the whole collec-
ton saw noting that thought would
excel the Fuchsia. One plant in particu
lar of about two feet in height was liter
ally loaded down with it's huge blossoms
OF deep crimson hue. They are rapid
ly growing in favour in this locality as
their abundance and superb appearance
in many of our door yards amply prove;
their chief requisites being rich soil and
partial shade. j. M.

LOCUST BLOSSOMS.

Dropping, Dropping, Dropping,
Down in snowy showers,
Stirring by spring time breeZes
Comes the locust flowers,
Filling the air with odOrs,
Strong, and rare, and sweet;
How we trample their beauty,
Under our careless feet.
Among the plumed branches
Hum the busy bees,
Seeking the nectar hidden
Up in the locust trees;
The wind is idly toying
With the wealth of flowers,
Shaking them in torrents
Through the balmy hours,
Strewing them DER the clover,
Bent with milk freight,
The south wind signs and passes,
He signs when tbs too late.
Let poets praise the flowers
OF the dark magnolia tree,
And fragrant orange bowers,
Down by the Southern sea-
The viOlets and the roses,
With delicate perfume,
Give me the soft green foliage,
And snowy locust bloom.
Failing, Failing, Failing,
All the summer hours,
Like the great white snow-fakes
Drop in winter showers;
While the sunshine glimmers,
And the low winds sigh,
Trifling with the blossoms,
Lightly passing by,
Wandering around, laden
With O rich Perfume
How love the fragrance
OF the locust bloom.
