SOMETHING ABOUT FLOWER CULTURE.
With a little energy and persever-
ance almost any one can sultiyate
flowers, and there is nothing that will
repay one for little trouble SO we'll.
But to have a nice flower garden OF
choice exotics requires an outlay OF
means, which few can afford, yet a
small garden cultivated with your
own hands will yield You far more
pleasure than the finest collection
cultivated by an experienced gardener.
Select few varieties, give them atten-
ton, and after gaining some expert
ence, then buy the choicer kinds. For
a brilliant, snowy bed the petunia,
phlox drommondii, and verbenas are
the most suitable. If taller kindsare
desired zinrias, gladiolus, and French
marieolds are best. These are recon-
mended to begin with as they are the
easiest cultivated. If you wish to have
pretty vines, and the soil outside is
too poor, or perhaps you may wish
them for an upper story piazza, take
a large wooden box about four feet
long and Gll with rich soil. Make q
lattice frame and nail to the back OF
the box. Plant near the frame morn
ing glories and cypress vines. In front
plant three or four gerauiums, bright
colors, pansies, etc. Paint the box
and frame, and with a little attention
you will be we'll repaid for your
trouble, and have very pretty orna-
ment for the sunny portion OF your
piazza. Some dropping vines to hang
over the box will be an improvement.
CRocHErED SL1ppER.-Doublc zephyr,
or fine Germantown wool of any desir-
able color may be used. Begin the
design at the back by making 4 chain
of 81 stitches. Work 13 rows in
Tunisian crochet, then work Z stitches
in the air, that are to be joined at the
18th row to make the top OF the foot.
Separate the first 2l stitches and work
all around the slipper, having an open
ing on the foot. Diminish by drop
ping one stitch at the beginning and
end of each row, for u rows. Close
the slipper on the wrong side with the
hook, also close the under and back
seams by joining the q stitches III
the middle, and fastening them on the
wrong side to form the top Of the
shoe. Work successfully 3 rows on
the 7 stitches in the cir. Finish the
whole by working a row OF half-bars
all around, and line with silk.--Domes-
