Practical Points in Bulb Culture.

If we would meet the early SNOW
drops and crocuses, the gaudy tulip,
and the princely hyacinth, with their
companions, in the garden in the
spring, we must become fall planters.
Because autumn does not to many
seem the right time for garden-mak-
ing, no doubt many lawns and flower
gardens are without these most
charming flowers that otherwise
would have them. There is no good ex-
cuse for this, it is just as easy to make
up and plant flower beds in September
or October as it is in the spring. In
fact it should be easier to plant in the
autumn, because usually there is less
crowding of work than in the spring.
The great value of the hardy bulbs
in extending the season of bloom in
the garden, makes it inexcusable not
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-11-03

to have them in abundance. Without
this class, the lawn and flower beds
are bare of bloom for several months
in the spring, before they are occupied
with the regular summer flowers.
This state of things is oftener found
in the handsome fawns of our towns
and cities than in the country. 1t
means one crop of bloom in the sea-
son, when with autumn planting the
same beds could have succeeding
crops, from early until late.
Nor must we overlook the fact that
of all our garden flowers, the sweet,
beautiful Dutch bulbs, coming in the
lovely springtime when nature draws
us to the garden, excel all others in
delightful qualities. Audit is not in the
garden alone that the advantages Of
this class of bulbs most strongly APP
pear. Inasmuch as the season of
bloom follows very quickly after
warmth sufficient to start the growth
sets in, they are matchless among
flowers suited to home culture in win
ter; whoever can succeed in growing
any kind of house plants may, with
out hesitat ton, undertake the culture
of hardy bulbs in the window, for the
culture of no others is easier. With
the hardy bulbs at our command,
there is no excuse for not having an
abundance of the most delightful
flowers in our homes, during the win>
ter and spring.-Vick's Magazine.

Roofing Fig Cuttings.

Roofing Fig Cuttings.
Roofing fig cuttings has always
been difficult thing for me, but late
ly gentleman who never fails with
anything he undertakes or at any rate
hardly ever, has told me how he does
and his way is such a good one that I
thought some reader of the Agricul
turist might like to try. The best soil
for figs he said was dry, not hammock
soil. Here is his way of roofing the
cuttings; he first digs hole for the
rich soil, where he wishes The Tree to
stand permanently, in the center of
the hole he puts piece Of stovepipe
and fills it with sand; around the pipe
his rich soil is put, then the pipe is
drawn out, the cutting put ir the cen-
ter in the sand. When the cutting
roots, the little roots can seek food
when they want to, or go down in the
sand-of course it is kept well wafer

A Plea for the Zinnia.
Manatee County.

The Zinnia is certainly the peoples
flower. You see it at every cottage
door in town or country. AS soon as
cabin by the wayside, or even in the
wilderness, is erected the Zinnia is
sure to make it's appearance, lmost
as soon as the future inmates take pos
session, either at the door or in the
little plot of garden, telling the pass
erby that somebody lives there, and
giving an air of refinement to the
domicile however humble it may be.
But the wonder is that it is not
favorite everywhere, and that we do
not find it not only at the cottage
door but on the grounds of the
wealthy or wherever flowers are Guilt
waited or loved. 1t has so many good
qualities that it would be hard to
enumerate the half of them. A suit
able place can be always found for
these flowers on every lawn or garden.
They make fine hedges, their brilliant
flowers of every hue and shade, which
are constantly in bloom all the sum-
mer and fall, make them very effective
for this purpose. They will grow and
make ''thing of beauty" Of what
would otherwise be a most unsightly
place.
They stand a drouth better than al
most any other annual, and will cover
themselves with gorgeous flowers
when other plants are ready to perish
for water. While they love good
soil, sunshine and moisture, and will,
of course, produce the best results
when they have them in abundance,
still they will blossom and make
things look bright under almost any
circumstances. The flowers too, last
long time, and are fine for cut flow
ers, particularly when used in deco
rating rooms or large halls where
liant coloring. They are better for this
purpose than Roses or Chrysanthe-
NUNS, as the flowers retain their
freshness several days without water.
There are so many varieties OF these
flowers that one has a wide field to
select from, and where particular co..
or is needed it is only necessary to go
to the Zinnia hedge Or bed to select it,
The white ones are very beautiful and
are often mistaken for Roses when
used in decorations. The "Lilliputs''
are lovely too, with their beautiful
little flowers and brilliant colors; they
are better suited for the flower oeds
than the taller ones.

Plant Propagation.

In propagating plants from slips, es-
pecially plants difficult to propagate,
as silver leaved geraniums, for in
stance, success depends much on time
ly preparation. So important a mat
ter is this preparation that Elias A.
Long made it the subject of an illus
trated article, which originally APP
peared in American Gardening. Fol-
lowing are extracts from the same,
bearing especially on the prepare ton
for slipping plants the young slips of
which are too soft or old wood too
hard for satisfactory results.
This consists in taking a shoot Of
recent growth and cutting "a notch
square at the top and slanting down
ward. The notch should be three
fourths way through the shoot. Such
cut naturally weakens the soft
shoot so much that an artificial sup
port must be provided or it will break
off. A piece of light plant stake at
tached to the stem, is the way to ham
die that part. The object of thus cut
ting the shoots is to harden the part
above the notch to a stage most
favorable for throwing out roots after
being placed in the cutting box.
After a shoot of silver leaved gerani
UNI has thus been notched for about
two weeks it is ready to remove from
the parent plant to the cutting bed.
That is, by opera ting on it by the
middle of September it will be ready
to take off and root by about Oct 1.
Coleuses, especially the more deli
cate growing kinds, are another class
of plants to which this method OF
prepare ton may well apply. In fact,
it is suited to even ordinary gerani-
ums or any other plants, the young
growth of which is rather
soft for September propagation. The
is an aid to roofing.
There are other kinds of plants
which may wish soon to propagate,
in which the conditions are just the
reverse of the softness of the kinds
named. I refer to such plants as YER
benas, double petunias, lantanas, etc.,
On which, having Powered profusely,
the wood has become so hardened as
to be unsuited for ready propaga-

The Aster and Giant Cosmos.


Although I am busy business man,
[ have my fad of amusement and
pleasure and it consists of flowers and
dogs. I find time morning and even
ing to cultivate a patch in the garden
and plant it with my favorites, during
the spring months. Last year I plant
ed Sweet Alyssum, Phlox, Balsams,
Carnations, Ageratum, Acroclinum,
Sweet Pea, Morning Glory, Poppy,
Marigold, Mignonette, Dianthus, Aster
and Cosmos. I expended for seed one
dollar and my reward was great in
the abundance of flowers, and the hap
by hours I spent in labor wedding and
watering them I regard as about the
sweetest blessing that Providence be-
slowed upon me in addition to my
health, to enjoy. 1t was one dollar
for seed as one dollar for ticket to
natures grandest panorama. lam sure
if all the human family could only get
such good measure of happiness and
pleasure as [ got for this one dollar no
one would want to lament and call
the world desert Of clay, and fruit
less of enjoyment.
I loved and admired all my flowers
and chatted to them from my heart
praise of their particular beauty,
without creating any jealousy, yet a
king and queen fourished in the royal
realm, in the magnificent Aster and
majestic Giant Cosmos. The Aster
queen reigned superior and with SUI
preme elegance, while the Phlox, YER
benas and carnations spread beneath
her a carpet of floral excellence
worthy of no small share of attrac-
ton; to idolize would be a tempta ton
or to become poet a pardonable
weakness, with such surroundings.
Yes, my Aster queens closed the au-
tumn with gracious smiles, but what
can I say about my Cosmos hedge?
The kingly stars of freshness that
baff1ed the October and November
frosty winds until snow prevailed on
breaking down their lofty branches?
[ can say their glory was unexcelled;
their sight no counterfeit of grand
eur it is their rich inheritance; to
come within it's view was to be daz-
zled with a constellation of natures
brightest and loveliest floral stars. To
close the autumn have an Aster bed;
to close the outdoor flower days have
a Giant Cosmos hedge.-E. E. Knott in

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local application as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies: Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
ditiou of the mucous surfaces.

A Human bloodhound.

In Abyssinia they have very pictur-
esque fashion of identifying thieves.
There is an official nominated for the
purpose in each district. Upon receiv-
ing information Of a robbery he gives
his confidential servant dose of certain
herbs, afterward pipe of tobacco.
The man drinks and then smokes. In
due course he begins to rave and to
crawl about ON hands and knees. Then
the thief catcher puts rope about his
loins, and on all fours he perambulates
the neighborhoOd, shifting like hound,
enters house at last and goes to sleep
upon the floor. That is legal evidence
of the owners guilt
He has to pay the value of the stolen
goods or to square the thief catcher,
which, as a rule, comes to much the
same thing.
