For the Floral Department.:
Chryeanthemums.

Whoever grows them learns to
love them, and would hesitate long
before exchanging them for any one
of their competitors for favor. They
bloom but once through the year,
but they are getting ready for this
blooming all the time before, and
when it comes it displays all the care
and culture bestowed upon them.
They are a delight to care for in
the garden or conservatory, and a
Joy to one who would decorate the
home. We have grown them from
seed, from suckers, and from cut
tings and are satisfied with the pay
in the autumn time. The seedlings
rarely give prize varieties but afford
much pleasure by the wonderful va
riety of flowers which they show
and stir the gambling instinct for
one does not know but that some
rare blossom will appear in the flow
ering times.
The better way, however, is to get
cuttings or shoots for then one
knows what to expect. Some say that
cuttings are preferable, but in our
experience suckers have never failed
us, and unless there is some particu
lar reason for taking cuttings we
will look about the old plants for
the new ones. Whether suckers or
cuttings are to be used, the old
plants should be cut half way back
to the ground as soon as possible
after they are through blooming.
The ground around them should
then be stirred and fortified. This
will insure vigorous growth and
strong plants. When the shoots
which this will induce, are hardened
up they may be cut into short or
long lengths, care being taken to cut
them at the axle of a leaf. These
cuttings may be put either into box
es or the open ground, and should
be inserted three or four inches be-
low the surface, and at an angle of
about sixty degrees. Thus treated
and kept moist, not wet, they are al
most sure to root and grow. AS it

During the prevalence of la grippe,
those who made use of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral found it prompt to act and
sure to cure. No other medicine is
so sole and efficacious in all diseases
of the throat and lungs, and the only
remedy successful in consumption.

Bamboos for use and Ornament


will convey the idea of tropical jun
giles, with elephants grazing upon
them, and will recall to the mind the
thousand different uses they are.
turned into by industrious natives,
it not being generally known that
among the two hundred and fifty
odd species of bamboos described by
botanists, there is large percentage
that can stand severe frosts. In fact,
some fifty kinds or varieties of bam
boos are grown in the open ground
in the gardens of Kew, near London,
England, where the climate is not
much different from that Of Phila-
delphia. Nearly all of them are ma
tives of northern China and Japan,
and few come from elevated re-
gions in the Himalaya mountains.
The larger growing and most prom
inent hardy bamboos belong to the
genus Phyllostachys, easily recognize
able by it's having only three branch
let's starting from each joint, the
middle one being less developed than
the others. For general use, the
most desirable is Phyllostachys vir-
idiglaucescens, so called for it's leaves
being of dark-green shining color
above, and blush underneath. In IA
vorable conditions, the canes will
attain over thirty feet in height,
will attain over thirty feet in height,
and more than one inch in thickness.
This bamboo is known to have stood
unini ured in a zero temperature,
both in France and in England. Of
the same degree of hardness, and
originating, like the former, from
northern China, are Phyllostachys
aurea, dwarfer growing species,
with golden yellow canes having the
joints very thickly set together at
the base, and P. nigra, which has jet
black stems, known in commerce as
"Whangee canes" Both of these are
priced for umbrella handles, walking
sticks, ETC. The tender shoots of 7.
mitis are considered to be the very
best to eat green, similar to aspara-
gus; it produces thicker canes, too,
but is not quite as hardy as the
above named. AS ornamental ever
greens for the lawn, the shrubbery,
as we'll as for indoor decora-
ton, no other plants can compete
with bamboos, with their shining
stems and feathery foliage.
Bamboos take readily to any kind
of soil that contains a sufficient
amount of silica. Liberal manuring
and watering will be beneficial; but
it is astonishing how much drouth
bamboos can withstand with impun-
itv. Wherever the thermometer is
likely to fall very low, a thorough
mulching with leaves, straw or saw
dust would be advisable. Wherever
the lemon can be grown, the larger
tropical kinds, as Bambusa arundin-
acea, B. vulgaris, Dendrocalamus
strictus, and others attaining a
height from fifty to one hundred
feet and several inches in thickness,
are sure to thrive, and ought to be-
come popular and widely distributed.

to mark both name and color upon
box or stake where they are grown,
and for the same reason if suckers
are used the old plants should be
marked SO that they can be identi-
fed When the cuttings are well
rooted, or the suckers are we'll start
ed they should be set out. We do
not advise the keeping of old plants,
as we think the renewing of the bed
is better And the bed should be
we'll renewed. Thoroughly and deep
ly dug with plenty of fertilizer
wrought into it's depths, for the
queen of the autumn is blessed with
an enormous appetite, and can hard
ly have too much fertilizer, provid-
ed it is well rotted or wrought it's
heat out. The plants should be set
rather deep and about two and
half feet apart, both ways.
After they are grown to be plants
seven or eight inches high, they
should be nipped back three or four
inches. This will cause them to send
out lateral branches, which should
be allowed to grow four or five inch
es when they should have their ends
nipped off. This operation should
be repeated twice more and the re-
suit will be strong stocky plants
which will be able to resist better
the high winds which September and
early October are almost certain to
bring.
Early in the growth of the plants
they should be staked and tied be-
cause they expose large surface to
the wind, and unless they are stead
led they will be sure to get root loose
and no after help can make plants
thus loosened take good hold of the
soil again. One stake will help them
but two are better and if they reach
above the plant, all the better. We
would say get four feet stakes one
inch square and out of the heart of
the pine, otherwise look out for
wood lice.
Do not be satisfied with the first
fertilizing, but give them now and
then a desert of some kind that has
plenty of nitrogen in it, and be sure
and give them plenty of water. They
will begin to show their buds in Sep
tember, and will need to be disbud
ded more or less accordingly, as one
wants largeness Or profusion of
bloom. Some of their buds should be
taken off at all events. A little neg
lect in care at this time will destroy
all the work of the year, and little
extra care will more than be repaid
in the size and perfectness of the
blossoms. There is an almost endless
variety of color and form among the
different members of the chrysan-
themum family and when one de-
sires to depend upon the green
houses for plants the leading varie-
ties of both can easily and cheaply
be secured. We have found the fol-
lowing among others to be fine in
