Having become much interested in
the description of this comparatively
new Towering shrub and the consplcu-
GUS engraving claimed to represent it,
in descriptive floral catalogue some
years ago, | at once ordered specimen
of it from one of our leading nurseries;
but in this, my first, experiment in it's
culture | was doomed to disappointment.
The specimen sent me came to hand
late in the spring, with the roots badly
cut back in taking it up, and 1t having
likewise fallen d prey to the red
spider that seemed fully bent on ex
tracing all the remaining sap that it
possessed during the growing season, by
the latter part Of autumn it was pretty
we'll dried up, and by the next spring
was thoroughly dead. With this I'M
successful experience in it's cultivation
came to the conclusion that it might
be poorly adapted to this locality, and
remained of that opinion for two or three
years.
Finally, concluded to give it another
trial, and this time | obtained a tiny
sized one through the mail, with roots
and top entire. This | carefully set out
in a rich, loamy soil, and have been
greatly pleased with it's upright growth,
symmetrical form, and the delicate and
refreshing appearance of it's oblong,
blush green leaves. In the fore part OF
May of last season it displayed it's first
bloom, which was unfavorably affected
by an unusual cold snap in March,
which blasted about one-third OF the
expanding buds. AS it was, it bore six
teen spikes of flowers of from four to six
flowers to each spike. Flowers are white,
five petaled, are an inch or more in
diameter, with distinct round green
center of about quarter of an inch
across. While coming into bloom the
buds present a white, globular appear
ance from the time that they are as
large as ordinary bird shot till they are
nearly half an inch in diameter, which
add much to it's attrac tiveness at that
partic ular stage of their development.
From these results and from what |
have been enabled to learn from other
sources concerning this shrub, am of
the opinion thatit occupies prominent
place, at least in it's adaptibility to park
and dooryard decoration. 1t is said to
obtain height of twelve feet, the flow
ers are large, ard prolific in their dis
tribution; it is an annual blOomer and
lastly, it generally escapes the effects Of
spring frosts which destroy so many Of
our lovely early flowers.

The winter visitor must often be dis

Seed Sowing.

and well-drained Good drainage has
more to do with the termination of seeds
than most people imagine. 1t is COM
mon idea that in order to have seeds
terminate quickly they must be kept
constantly wet. But in a cold soil seeds
may be kept so wet that they will de-
cay instead of sproutiDg So choose
bed that is sunny and warm and dry for
your April seeds; one that is lower and
partially shaded will do for May and
June, when the sun is warmer and there
is more heat to warm the soil.
Some of the hard, nut-like seeds must
needs have their shells broken, or soaked
over night in tepid water, before plant
ing, else they may fail TO come up. For
moon-tlower seed take a sharp knife and
chip off little of The shell close to the
germ, before planting. Gamma seeds
must be scalded in hot water, almost
boiling, and left to soak over night.
These large seeds, as a rule, do not re-
quire such careful treatment, after SOW
ing as the small ones, for the embryo is
apt to be strong in proportion to the size
of the seed, and pushes up through all
kinds of soil and different depths of
covering.
There are some handy planters for
amateurs that guage the depth Of COW
ering for seeds. The best of these is the

times the diam eter of the seed. for depth
of soil covering it, is an easy one to re-
member, and any woman with careful
eye and hand can improvise planter of
any smooth, thin piece of wood which
| lies near. Press the straight lath into
the soil to make a row for your seeds;
be sure this is Of the right dep h; sprinkle
your seeds in this evenly and not too
thickly. Here is stumbling block for
young gardeners. Seeds sown too thickly
are apt to make weak, spndling plants,
and are late in blooming. Better take
more space and have stronger p ants.
When your seeds are sown, cover them
evenly with SOFT fine soil; some careful
gardeners sift it. Take light board or
trOWel and press the earth down firmly
over the seeds. This makes the soil
compact SO that it holds moisture better,
and settles the little seeds in their new
home. Sprinkle the bed after sowing, so
that the soil will be moist to good
depth, instead of merely on top, and
then do not water again until the sur
face begins to look dry.
Never let the soil get dust dry after
the seeds have begun to terminate, or ii
will kill them. Too much water is
almost as great an injury and produces
slckly, yellOwish plants. In the out
door sowing of seeds it must be given in
proportion to the heat of the sun. OF
course a seed-bed will dry out more
quickly in June than in April, so the
surface of the soil must be carefully
noted. But when you give water give
enough to soak the soil to a good depth.
Surface watering with the earth left
