This inspection law is not nearly as
strict as in many states, but probably it
is sufficient to fill the conditions at
present existing. Later on, when the
times demand it, the law can be amend
ed and made much more strict than it is
at present.
As matter of fact, the entomologist
at the experiment station, in his visits
to the nurseries, finds Minnesota grown
stock to be quite free from pests. We
have not as yet the dreaded San Jose
scale, nor have we the serious diseases
which are prevalent in all southern
states among fruit trees Occasionally
the entomologist discovers woody aphis
on apple, which is destructive insect,
and which he directs the nurseryman
to promptly remove. The Buffalo tree
hopper is Minnesota nursery pest, as
are plant lice, various borers, blight and
imildew.
The nurserymen of Minnesota are, as
class, men Of fine attachments, progress
sive, prominent in horticultural meet
ings, and almost without exception
active members Of the State Horticul-
tural society. 1t is to be hoped that no
such dangerous fruit pests as are con-
tinual menace in some of the states will
lever get foothold in Minnesota.

TRANSPLANT BEFORE BLOOMING
..., PERIOD,

I know that when one is buying
plants one is tempted to buy those in
full bloom, but think that this is a
mistake, if after-results are to be con-
sidered. If we will stop to think about
it, one can see that it is better to buy
plants that have not yet been brought
up to the blooming period. A plant in
full bloom certainly will not 60 right
on blooming when transferred from the
greenhouse of the florist to your gar
den or living room. It will have all it
can do for some time to accustom itself
to it's new conditions. I have never yet
had blooming plant keep right on
blooming when transferred from the
house to the open ground, and l think
it is best to remove all buds when this
change is made, and let the plant do
nothing fol-. a little while but adapt
itself to it's new surroundings. Then
when it begins to bloom it may be ex-
lpected to bloom right along. All plants
require season Of rest after they have
been blooming profusely for some time.

The growing interest in fruit raising

The growing interest in fruit raising
in this state has called for some form
Of legal protection, not only for the pur.
chaser Of fruit trees in Minnesota, but
also for the nurseryman who naturally
has to send away for some of his stock.
AS result of this demand, the last
session of the legislature passed bill
making it ar offense for any nursery
outside Of the state to ship stock with
in our borders not accompanied by
certificate of inspection from some au-
thorized officer, generally the state en-
tomologist, Of the state from which the
stock came. This is supposed to pre-
vent the introduction of any dangerous
insect, or dangerous and contagious
plant disease from other quarters, and
similar law is enforced in most: OF the
other states where fruit raising IS In
vogue: J, !
state entomologist of Minnesota shall,
upon request, examine nurseries IN 10
calities where stock is grown and Of
fered for sale, and if said stock IS
found to be free from injurious insects
or contagious plant diseases, to issue

feet. It will be noted that this IS not
obligatory, but all nurserymen shlpp1ng
outside of the state feel it incumbent
upon them to have this inspection, since
their goods would otherwise be held uI
at our state borders; and many nursery
men, too, who do not send their goods sc
far away from home, feel the de

ROSES.

Roses should have deep, rich, heavy
loan soil, moderately moist. The flow
ers will appear just as fast as the wood
that bears them is produced, and this
is according to the supply of suitable
food furnished. If the soil is light and
dry, equal parts of well-rotted turf and
cow manure is best; but never apply
manure of any kind until it is thoroly
decomposed. If the soil is naturally
cold and heavy, horse manure mixed
with the turf is best. Keep the soil
warm and moist but not sodden. Too
much wet is as fatal as drouth. Roses
if possible should be planted in an
open, airy place.

SOIL FOR STRAWBERRIES.

It has been my experience that many
people defer planting strawberries for
the reason that they think that, in or
der to be successful, they must have
some especially favored land, situation
or location: This is a great mistake,
as the strawberry may be grown to per-
lection on any land that will produce
a crop of potatoes, corn, peas or other
for vegetables or fruit is the best for
the strawberry. Nearly any soil will
answer, but we must remember that
the best results are obtained from 4
dark, rich, loose soil with clay. sub

HYACINTHS AND THEIR TREAT.
MENT

Hyacinths and other blooming bulbs

cool and out of the direct sunlight after
the flowers open. Give full sunlight and
frequent applications of liquid manure
from the time the flower stalk appears
until the buds open, then remove them
to cooler situation to prolong bios
SONS.
The water hyacinth is one Of the
most beautiful Of the small aquatic
plants suitable for the window garden.
It will thrive in any water-tight yes
sci, but large glass bowl is most de,
sirabie. Fill it about two-thirds full OF
rich soil, pour the water over this until
the bowl is nearly full, then simply
place the plant in the water.

SOMETHING ABOUT FUCHSIAs.

The fuchsia is admirably adapted to
partial shade. For pot plants to aSorn
piazzas in summer or for planting among
walls or fences with north aspect in
city yards, there is nothing more valu-
ans T an bo sS o the wei Tho rs
long.
See that your fuchsias receive a CO.
pious showering daily. Throw the
water all over them. Force it up among
the foliage so that it will reach the
underside of the leaves. There is where
the red spider turks, and the red spider
is the fuchsia s most deadly enemy.

PLAIN DIET FOR WEAK PLANTS.

Do not forget that it is often quiet
as harmful to overfeed plant as it is to
starve it. Plain diet is as good for
weak plant as for weak man or
woman. If plant has weak and I'M
healthy look and you are quite sure that

and new soil, bearing in mind that it
wants to get we'll rooted before active
growth is stimulated by the use Of fer
tiliZers of any sort.

TO KILL WORMS.

Be careful about giving pot plants
too much water at this season. Unless
growing, they will require but little.
TOO much water is afruitful source of
injury at this time to all plants not
growing actively. =.
If there are worms in the soil, water
with a, little camphor in it., will kill
them the only thing that I know of
that will-for all the advertised rene:

DO AS GRANDMOTHER DID.

Plant some lavender this spring and
then revive one of the good, old-fash-
toned customs Of our grandmothers Of
laying sprigs Of it with the bed-linen.
It has a clean, fresh fragrance that
has a tendency to send one off to sleep

lively nourishing and healthful effect.
Whether this is true or not, they give
much pleasure to life.

Don't water your plants with ice
cold water. They will resent it just as

NASTURTIUM BEDS.

Every garden should have bed of
nasturtiums If you want many flowers
from this plant, do not give it very
rich soil. If you do, there will be a
luxuriant growth of branches and foil
age, but few blossoms. The dwarf va
rieties are best. This is an excellent
plant to cut from. It's colors range
from palest yellow to dark crimson and
maroon.

STOCK SCALES ARE USEFUL.

Every farmer that can afford them
should have stock scales. A four or FIVE
ton scale is large enough for ordinary
purposes, and if placed under a shed,
the wagon shed for instance, will last
most a lifetime. It is lots Of satisfac-
tion to know what anything weighs
that you take to market.

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS.

Bulbs forced during the winter should
never be planted out till late in the

will then make their root growth during
the cool weather and come up all safe

BRIGHT CoLoRs FOR THE SICK
ROOM.

When choosing flowers to send to an
invalid select those that have a very
delicate perfume, and that are as sug-
gestive Of life and health as possible.
White flowers, tho most beautiful, lend
neither color nor brightness to the sick
room, and to mind weakened by sick
ness are apt to be suggestive Of death,
while those of a bright crimson or a
deep yellow, will almost always please
and crafty the convalescent.

on new-plowed sod ground or on land
that water remains on after rain. Such
