WHEN THE BABES HAD ToNslLITls.

When the babes had tonsilitis, o Lord, but
what a timei
The father of all the poets could not tell it
half in rhyme.
1t was hustle for the doctor at twelve o'clock
at night
And scurry to the drug store before the morn
ing's light.
Then baby's pills at seven, and t'other one a at
eight,
Prescriptions next in half an hour; don't be a
minute late,
And don't forget the powders, and the iron for
And peptonoids at eating time to take the
place of food.
And when the darlings walked and cried twas
papa walk the floor,
With twenty pounds on one arm, on the other
fifty more,
And keep the house warm all the time, and
don't get in a draft,
And don't mix up the medicines. Why didn't
l go daft?
With baby's pills at seven, and t'other ones at
eight,
Prescriptions then in half an hour; don't be a
minute late,
And don't forget the powders, and the iron for
the blood,
And peptonoids at eating time to take the
place Of food.
The doctor brought them through all right,
and thank the Lord for that,
And both are strong and rosy now, and both
are getting fat.
He showed most wondrous skill, I think, as
doctors often do,
But what l marvel most at is that wife and

With baby's pills at seven, and t'other ones Of
eight,
Prescriptions then in half an hour; don't be a

And don't forget the powders, and the iro~ for

Things Told by Florists.

No garden plant responds to generous
treatment more cheerfully than the tall
growing phloxes.
Among the new orchids is very dis
tinct and handsome summer blooming
hybrid between O. sanderiana and O.
veratrifolia; flowers much superior in
size to those of O. veratrifolia and pro-
duced with more freedom. They are of
a clear and distinct blue shade. 1t is an
evergreen, compact grower and de-
cided acquisition.
Aquilegias are beautiful and valuable.
There are many sorts, and their deep
green foliage and numerous flowers
make them very attractive.
Lilium auratum golden rayed lily
stands at the head of the list Of cheaper
sorts and perhaps Of the whole genus.
The white lilies, L. candidum and l..
longifiorum, grow in any good light
garden soil, and they are so cheap that
one can afford TO use them in sufficient
numbers to make fine display.
The China asters are among the best
Of all the annual garden flowers. They
are of the easiest culture. most free Of
bloom and comprise multitude Of
forms and colors

The Apple Orchard.

Spraying with the copper solutions
will not alone give an apple crop every
year, as some horticulturists seem to
think, says American Agriculturist. Ap-
pies ordinarily are a full crop ON alter
nate years, because when they do bear
the crop is heavy and so exhaustive that
the tree takes the following season to
recuperate. If the fruit was thinned--
leaving only a moderate crop to be ma
tured--and the tree given proper fertili-
zation, crop could be grown every
year. The crying need Of the great ma
jority Of our orchards today, especially
those that have been in bearing for a
number Of years, is potash in some form.
There is nothing better than hard wood
ashes where these can be obtained at
fair prices.

mulch of chopped straw or short ma

rist, in communication to American
Agriculturist, says on the subject of best
roses:
If on starting to grow roses you can
only afford to buy one plant, would say
take Clothilde Soupert. 1t is beautiful
rose either in bud or full blown, Of a
beautiful soft pink when first opening,
changing to paler pink as it gets older,
and some Of the flowers are almost pure
white. 1t is beautifully formed, very
double, sweet scented and most pro-
life bloomer. 1t will continue in bloom
from early spring till frost in the fall
and is as hardy as brier. If you want
20 plants to start with, take Clothilde
Soupert, Mrs. Degraw, rose color; NAL
maison, flesh color and deliciously
sweet; La France, clear soft pink Gen.
eral Jacqueminot, crimson; Duchess Of
Albany, deep pink; Dinsmore, coral
red. II you want 100, take the same
list, adding Empress Augusta Victoria,
white and very fine; Papa Gontier,
bright red, and Etoile de Lyon.
The last three are not quite hardy,
consequently are not always to be relied
upon to go through the winter alive;
but, first, last and all the time advise
taking these and all other roses on their
own roots. For the amateur they are so
much more desirable and will live and
thrive for years, while budded stock, if
not thoroughly understood and watched
very carefully for suckers, will be dead
in two or three years at most Having
made a success with the above, you need
not hesitate to indulge your fancy to
any extent that the pocketbook will
agree to.
The number of truly hardy climbing
roses is limited.
Baltimore Belle, blush; Gem Of the
Prairies, rose; Prairie Queen, deep rose |;
Tennessee Belle, blush, and Seven Sis
ters, light rose changing to white, are
among the most reliable climbers we
have for vigorous climates. Refine Marie
Henriette is fine climbing rose and
thrives in southern New Jersey. At the
south Devoniensis, Cloth of Gold, Mare
chal Mel, Gloire de Dijon and hosts of
others are their common everyday stock.

About Gravel walks.

Walks and drives should hardly ever
be made ON a small place except for
purposes Of strict utility. These are of
course to keep away from the lawn traf-
fic that would injure it or be inconven-
lent to vehicles or pedestrians. Even in
the name Of utility lines of travel are
often laid down which are quite super
fuous. In most cases the roads and
paths detraot from more than they help
the picturesqueness Of a garden, and
they ought to be treated rather as neces-
sary evils than things to be desired for
their own sake. A stretch Of turf is
more aesthetic than an equal area of
macadam, and lawn unbroken save by
its own undulations is better than the
same divided into two by q sudden band
of gravel, however graceful may be its
curves, says Gardening.

Pruning Trees In Leaf.

A great many farmers defer pruning
until the trees are in leaf, in order to
prevent bleeding" or running of the
sap, which occurs when the pruning is
done earlier. 1t is probable that not
much harm is done by this practice,
though it is well to know that pruning
in leaf is always great check to vitality
and vigor. 1t should therefore be prac-
tised only ON trees that are making too
strong growth and whose wood is grow
ing at the expense of fruit. There are
some very vigorous varieties Of apples,
which, while young, are better for being
pruned while in full leaf. The Northern
Spy is one of these. It is slow in coming
into bearing when the young trees are
set on very rich ground and have moth
ing to hinder wood growth.

Dwarf Pear Trees.

The editor of Gardening, who has had
excellent results with dwarf pear trees,
recommends them without hesitation to
his readers, who are told that these trees
are useful not only in small gardens,
but to plant in borders in large ones.
Pear trees, both dwarf and standard, re-
quire good ground, if little inclined
to clay so much the better, though any
fair garden soil will suit them. But
they must not be crowded, even if
dwarfs Nine or ten feet apart is close
enough The following is good selec-
tion of kinds; Margaret, Giffard, Clapp's
Favorite, Bartlett, Seckel, Hardy, Shell
don, Bose, Anjou.

Summer Pruning.

In pruning fruit trees. attention has
to be given to the manner in which the
particular kind bears its fruit. The
cherry and the pear both bear their fruit
ON short spurs, and in trimming there
fore the effort should be to produce q
large quantity Of healthy fruit spurs.
Summer pruning does this admirably.
The branches that we want as leading
shoots should not be touched. but the
weaker ones may be pinched back, about
midsummer, foot or two thirds Of their
growth. This will induce the swelling
of a number Of buds that will produce
flowers instead Of branches, and in this
way fruit spurs can be obtained ON COM
paratively young trees, but with such
kinds as the grape vine, the fruit is born
on the branches Of last years growth,
80 the effort should be to throw all the
vigor possible into those growing branch
es that we want to bear fruit the next sea-
son. To do this we pinch back the shoots
that we do not want to extend, or even
pull these weak shoots out altogether A
little pruning is then necessary in the
winter to shorten back these strong,
bearing canes, or to prune out altogether
the weaker ones that we check by pinch
ing back during the growing season,
says Meehan's Monthly.

worth Knowing About.

A new industry is that Of spraying
fruit trees by the job
Centaurea, candidissima and gymno-
carpa make very effective edging for
beds Of double General Grant or Bruant
geraniums
The leaf blight may be checked by
using the bordeaux mixture, beginning
just as soon as leaves appear, and con-
tinuing the application every few weeks
throughout the season.
Do not plant scarlet and pink gerani-
ums in the same bed. The colors do not
either blend with each other or form any
striking contrast.
Phlox Drummondii makes a snowy
bed, and is very effective when planted
in bare places near the edge of herba-
ceous borders
Among the VARIOUS novelties intro
duced last season there wai none more
striking or beautiful than the new tulip

Points on Spraying.

For lice ON plum trees and all forms
of bark lice, spray thoroughly with ker-
osene emulsion while the lice are still
young and tender. By far the best treat
ment of black knot on plum and cherry
trees is to cut off all the infested parts
and burn them. Bordeaux mixture is
also effective, but not as radical as the
burning of the branches. Apple leaf
skeletonizers and other leaf eaters should
be killed by spraying with arsenical
poisons. Apple scab continues to develop
until growth ceases, and bordeaux mix
ture may have to be applied in June
and again in July if heavy rains wash
off the earlier applications.

Remedy For Curculio.

Planting plum trees in the hen yards
is good way to head off the curculio,
says Rural New Yorker. Applications
of insecticides to the trees are practical
ly useless. Jarring the trees in the morn
ing will dislodge many of the pests, and
they may be caught ON sheets spread
under the trees and destroyed. Some use
an apparatus like an inverted umbrella
which clasps around the tree, and into
which the dislodged curculios drop.

Drought Proof Cranes.

Professor Swezey, state meteorologist,
said to the Nebraska Horticultural soci-
ETY. that he had not been able to trace
any relation between the amount of
rainfall and the yield of the vineyard.
The great amount of moisture in the
spring sometimes induces free growth
and little fruit. A late drought even
must be extremely severe to cause the
grapes to wither or drop unless blighted,
and frequent stirring of the soil or lit
tie irrigation, if practicable, will get
the vines through even prolonged
droughts.

siderably reduced by purchasing merely
the pump and fixtures and mounting
them at home on strong barrel An
apparatus Of this sort, representing a
style that has proved very satisfactory
in practical experience, is illustrated in
the accompanying figure.
1t is merely strong pump with an
air chamber to give steady stream
provided with two discharge hose pipes.
One Of these enters the barrel and keeps
the water agitated and the poison thor
oughly interlnixed, and the other and
longer one is the spraying hose and ter
inmates in the nozzle The spraying
hose should be about 90 feet long and
may be fastened to light pole, prefer
ably Of bamboo, to assist in directing
the spray. The nozzle should be capable
of breaking the water up into a fine
mist spray, SO as to wet the plant COM
pletely with the least possible expendi-
ture of liquid The two more satisfac-
tory nozzles are those of the Nixon and
the Vermorel type. A suitable pump
with nozzle and hose may be obtained
of any pump manufacturer or hardware
dealer at a cost of from $13 to $15. If
one with brass fittings be secured, it
will also serve for the application of
fungicides. The outfit outlined above
may be mounted ON a cart or wagon,
the additional elevation secured in this
way facilitating the spraying of trees,
or for more extended operations the
pump may be mounted on large water
tank.

Treatment of Bulbs After Flowering.
Bulbous Plants For Late Blooming.
Amateurs are usually in doubt as to
the correct treatment of bulbs after the
plants are withered and the blossoms
gone. Some bulbs require to be taken
up each season, others every two or
three years, while few thrive without
any change. Here is what the editor Of
Gardening has to say on the subjects
If hyacinths and tulips are in front
beds, as soon as they are unsightly lift
them and heel them in in rows and
pretty close together in sheltered and
slightly shaded spot to ripen, and when
their leaves fade lift the bulbs, spread
them out to dry as one would onions,
divest them of their leaves and store
them over summer in q cool, dark, airy
room, spreading them out thinly. Hy-
acinths, as a rule, do fairly we'll if left
in the ground over summer, and so, too,
do the different species Of tulips, but the
garden sorts should be lifted and dried
in summer. Leave all kinds Of narcissus
in the ground.
OF course grape hyacinths, one flow
cred milla IN. unifora), erythroniums
and others of their class are better left
in the ground. We find that crocuses
grown in the grass are not to be COM
pared for long life and vigor with those
in cultivated ground in the garden. The
same with snowdrops.
Make two or three paintings Of gladi-
olus bulbs for a succession of blooms. Put
them at least three to four inches under
the surface of the ground. Other bull
bous plants worthy of a place in the
garden, oxalis, Hyacinthus candicans,
montbretias and the like, may also be
planted now, but delay a little with
caladium, tuberose, tropical crinums,
arums etc

what Is a Seed Pan2

What is seed pan? is question some
may ask. Gardening answers: 1t is a
wide-from to 10 inches generally
shallow, earthenware dish like flower
pot, and much used in greenhouses to
raise seedlings in. They are round or
square in form, . to inches deep, as a
rule, and little narrower at the bottom
than at the top, and to admit Of ready
drainage the bottom is freely perforated.

At the Indiana station Courath, Crom-
well and Kansas seem to be the most
promising Of the newer introductions Of
the black caps. Courath is the earliest
and produces good crop of very fine,
large berries Of good quality. Cromwell
does not make SO strong a growth, still
it seems to be superior in some respects
to many of our older varieties. Kansas
promises to be one Of the best. The cane
is strong and healthy and ripens its fruit
two or three days later than Courath.

Well rooted carnation cuttings when

strong vigorous plants, while those with

take long to start as they become hard.

deep and firm enough to enable it to
maintain a perpendicular position
throughout the season. The plant at the
