An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and. presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
~dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manentay. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub.
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co, only. In order to get it's beneficial

the long graceful racemes of white
flowers are very beautiful:
81 think no other winter-bloOming
bulb possesses so many charming and
sterling qualities as Freesia refracta
alba. A succession of flowers may be
obtained by planting the bulbs from
August ON through October. The very
best results, however, will follow early
planting. To have them in bloom at
Christmas-time they should be started
in August or September. Soil and tenn
perature are all in all to successful
freesia culture; without due attention
to these considerations the best bulbs
may yield but limited supply of poor
flowers, borne ON stems too frail to
properly support them, and these sup
plemented by scanty, grass-like fol
iage dropping forlornly over the sides
of the pot. Now, as to soil: A mix
ture of two parts of leaf mold and one
of old, thoroughly decayed manure,
with a little coarse sand mixed in,
makes a soil that is none too rich for
freesias, and will yield a rich harvest
of blossoms. There is, however, so
much danger in the inexperienced Sc
lection of manure and the tendency to
make-shifts that the following com
post is preferable for general amateur
use: Add one part of fibrous or turfy
loan, well rOtted, to two parts of old
leaf mold, and to quart of this mix
ture add one-half pint of coarse sand
and tablespoonful of sifted wood ash
es; the latter keeps the soil sweet and
| friable.

to water them lightly. They must not

When frOstS threaten, set them in a
protected place at night, but do not
bring them indoors until there is ac-
tual danger Of freezing, and then place
them in a cool, ireless room, and give
plenty of sunshine. If the bulbs are
