the lighter shades of blue will

THE MAIDEN MILITARY;

ASPIDISTRAS

No ornamental plant is more sim pie of cultivation than the aspidistra, and few plants receive more neglect.
 The aspidistra is handsome ever green foliage plant, unequaled for home decoration. The chief difficulty with them is giving too little water in summer and too much in winter. When the plants become too large for the pots the leaves crack because they have not room to properly de- yelop, and growth becomes poor on account of the exhausted condition of the soil. Too little water in summer starves the plant at the period when it should be making a new growth. Too much water in winter sours the soil, which kills the plant.
 Good garden soil with sufficient land added to insure good drainage will grow good plants, but for the best results there is nothing better then four parts good loam, one-sixth part fine charcoal, thoroughly mixed.
 When the plant is to be simply re- potted turn the ball of earth from the pot and reduce the soil by carefully picking it off with a pointed stick. Re- pot in a clean pot of suitable size, placing plenty of broken crock at the bottom for drainage.

SUMMER BLOOMERS AND
 PLANTS
AN D
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

Take up tuberoses that have not bloomed They will bloom indoors
 Keep potting plants that you intend to carry over Soak the ground we'll before lifting.
 Crinum oranta is not a winter bloom CT. The bulbs should be kept in slight ly-moist sand until February or March.
 Let the spotted calla ripen. then take up and keep in dry sand in a frost-proof place until the new year.
 Bring the agapanthus indoors when cold weather sets in, and set in a cool cellar.
 Pot the water hyacinth in soil, keep wet but not sloppy, and set in the sunshine in a warm room.
 No matter what you try to keep over winter, you cannot know too much about caring for it. Learn all you can.
 Pull all the old annuals that are done blooming, and either burn or put into the manure heap. Keep things tidy
 Get the cold frames ready and fill with plants that are to be kept in them over winter. Have all in order for an emergency.
 All the rises are beautiful and hardy, and there are many varieties of coloring. Fall is the time to plant them.
 Rose clumps, and clumps of herbaee- ous perennials should be divided this fall, if needed, and given new posi- tions.
 Fuchsia fulgens is a summer bloom CT, and should be taken up as cold weather comes on, potted in small pots. watered thoroughly, and stored
