METHODS OF VINES.
How Climbers May Re Best Trained :
the Garden.


the Garden.
Climbing vines have many different
methods of attaching themselves to
their support. Some encircle branch
of the post by twining their main bod
les around the support. A hop vine is
familiar illustration of this. More
delicate ones cannot twist around their
stakes, but have to have string or sim
liar material to cling 20. The ordinary
morning glory is an illustration of this
class; but there are some which simply
climb by twisting the leaf stalk around
the support This is especially true of
different kinds of Gle matises, yet il is
not unusual in some gardens to see
stacks as thick as walking canes put
for the clematis to run up on; but, as
it is unable to do this, they have to be
tied to this pole by Irvine. while the
leaves go on twisting themselves in
order to find something to cling to,
and as a consequence the vital powers
of the plant are exhausted. In many
cases the clematis, especially the va
riety known as Jackmanni, viii die COM
pleJely and suddenly from the attack
of a minute fungus; but 1t is more
likely that this occurs oftene- in cases
as described-for want of proper means
of support. Thread or Irvine for the
leaves to twist around, or even little
brushwood, such as we would give to a
crop of peas, is much more likely to
produce healthy and vigorous Glenn
atises than when they are deprived of
all means OF using their leaf stalks as
tendrils. -Meehan's Monthly.

Go into the kitchen, have the clothes

throw in five or ten cents worth OF
gum arabic, place a new sheet of heavy
brown wrapping paper, doubled, over
the top, arrange your Grape on this,
and await results. The fire in the
range must be brisk, so that the water
will boil steadily while You are at
work. Feel the Grape, and in a few
minutes you will find it moist and
sticky. Now, with your two hands,
press out the creases, smooth
ing here and arranging there,
so that all parts get an equal
steaming and all turned in and
rumpled places are renewed. If your
paper be too thick, try it single and
take another piece when it becomes

If it be trimming you are doing over,
be particular about these creased and
wrinkled places; the careful manipula-

constant steam will make the material
stiff, crisp and like new.

instance, veil, be careful to fold il Sc

Ribbons used to ornament various

embroidered cloths, and protect them
from the iron with clean brown paper

they are wholly dry. Scarlet washes
best among the colors for ribbons, and
the satin-finisbed ribbons will appear
after laundering almost as fresh as

STRAWBERRY PLANTING.

A Method which Ia Reasonably Sure TO
Bring Coed Results.
In planting strawberries there is a
right way, and there ara q number of
wrong ways. What we are after in
ordinary culture is to induce a reason
able number of plants to make an early
start, in other words, to have them in
good growing condition before our
usual midsummer drought. so they
will give us a nice matted row. We
find that the earlier we plant after the
land is II readiness to receive the
plants, the more surely do we reach the
coveted result. Usually we can get
better plants in the early part of the
season than will be obtainab BILE later.
Atmospheric and soil conditions also
are more favorable then. The plants
start promptly, and soon fill the rows
with strong runners.
The right way of planting always
presupposes the use of good strong
plants. Some of our nurserymen are
not careful enough in the sorting of
the plants they ship. and only too often
have we received straw berry plants
that were utterly unfit for planting. If
