though liquid barnyard manure is to be
preferred to all artificial preparations.
Fertilizers Of all kinds should be used
with caution, too much being more in
furious than none at all. Once week
is often enough to apply most varieties.
In the case Of liquid manure, only
enough should be added to color it
slightly, and if ammonia is used, one
teaspoonfull to each gallon Of water will
prove sufficient.
The insect enemies that war upon
plants growing indoors are numerous,
and, if allowed to gain Roadway, become
very troublesome. The green fly, or
aphis, and the red spider are the most
common Of these pests. The aphis feeds
on the tenderest of the young shoots and
leaves, sucking out the juices, so that
the plant, in a short time, becomes prac
ticaly useless. II the tiny flies are dis
covered at the start, when they are a
few, they may be picked off by hand,
otherwise fumigations with tobacco
smoke must be res0rted to. Weak to-

are to be dipped, is often quite as efiica

having been secured, dip an entire plant

The red spider always shows itself
when the atmosphere is allowed to be-
come very dry. Water is the red spi
der's worst enemy, and an atmosphere
of proper humidity for house plants is
fatal to it, so when the spider is seen, it
may be taken for granted that the at
mosphere is too dry for the proper growth
Of the plants. Swinging the plants with
clear water very frequently is the best
preventive, as we'll as the best cure, for

We will now see how to 60 about it,
First, it is absolutely necessary that
the location be chosen with some
Judgment, as it must be provided with
some shade and some protection against
high winds-thOugh plants Of a dwarf
nature are most desirable for a rOCkcry.
Having chosen this spot, ] will take d
half barrel for the foundation, finding
in our beautiful State Of Florida the
question of material a more serious one

Yonder is a Marechal Neil that is two
and half years old. In It's short life 1t
has been moved twice, and the last time
in July. 1t never minded the change in
the least, but paid strict attention to
business and grew and bloomcd as il
nothing unusual had happened. 1t WAS
not cut back when transplanted in July,
and it has never shown any signs OF die
back. 1t blooms continuously and pro
fusely, nothing ever stopping it but
frost
Last winter, during cold spells, it was
wrapped in comfortables, and when the
cold spell passed over and it was dis
mantled, lovely buds would greet you.
The greatest trouble is to find support for
its branches and to tie the same. 1t
sends them out in every direction, and
at the same time CLIMBS heavenward
Now it is in front of the second story
windows, and appears to have designs

pail after pail Of water and demanding

AS to food it is a regular gormandlzer,

more. 1t consumes all the refuse Of the
cook room, tea and coffee grounds, vege-
table peas, meat bones, etc. The soap
suds. SCOT and ashes from the stoves, and
last but not least, it keenly enjoys its

Well decomposed fertilizer from the

When buds in quality are more to be
desired than buds in quantity, it is dis

taste of the most fastidiouS.
If La France roses are grown on their
own roots, and given proper care they
will grow like weeds in this sandy soil, and
the blooms will be Of immense size and
deliciously perfumed, and they will fill
your heart with gladness.
LamarQue roses are a success either

and in either case grow luxuriantly and
produce an abundance Of beautiful
