Perfection OF cfyr anthemum culture is
to have them retain their leaves hsalthy
as long as possible, says Meehan's
Monthly. If the plants lose their leaves
early this bloom will be small Some
times the Nglhter leaves are attacked by
81 parasitic fungus which causes them
to drop off early. On this first appear
ance of the parasite the plant should
be syringed with copper sulphate solu--
ton. Sometimes these attacks are en-
couragad by allowing the leaves to be-
come weak for want of good food, for
although 1t is mot impossible for fungus
parasites to attack healthy vegetation, it
is also true that they attach themselves
more realiify when the plant Is weak
Manure water or surface display of
mAnCra are precautions to be used
against this result. Again leaves are
frequently weakened by allowing the
plants to become too dry. Careful Gull
tivators can easily guard against this.

Mr.. oyster told the board that his organ
