WASHINGTON, June IA, 1s95.-The

CARE OF FLOWERS.
A Gardener Tells What to DO With
Plants.

The first bloom of verbenas and To-
belias should be picked off, and as the
branches extend they should be pegged
down closely to the ground; as they
lengthen they will take root, and thus
drawing a great deal of moisture from
the soil they will cover a large space
and bloom freely. In this way a obelia
will cover a square foot and a verbena
a square yard of ground.
