Wasps and yellowi ckets do enormous
damage to fruit every year, and the only
remedy Is to wage war on these destruc-
tive insects There are various ways OF
destroying the nests OF the latter
one simple method is to pour one-hai
ounce of cyanide of potassium in gal
Ion of water In the nests AT night. AS
these fumes are very poisonous, the fruit
grower should stop up the holes to pre-
vent their escaping, and take care not
to nhale them himself, Another mode
of destroying wasps, and equally destruc-
tive is to tie securely to the tree branch

HERBS FOR THE FLOWER
GARDEN.
For Use and Ornament.

Every flower garden should include a
few herbs, not only because their scent
and bloom lend an old-world charm TO
the spot. but because they afford an
abundant supply of scent and seasoning
for indoor Use. There is for instance tho
old fashioned rosemary. an evergreen
shrub, which grows from two 70 four
feet high and has spring flowers of white
tinged with pale blue. the leaves being
very fragrant. These bushes need mod
erately warm and sheltered spot, but
they grow very freely In almost any gar
den soil. and should he propogated by
seeds In tho spring sOwn preferably in q
border, or by laying the lower branches
in July ana August. Rosemary is very
lovely when in bloom. and a great favor
lite among herbs Lavender is perhaps
I the most popular herb in the market OF
the two kinds chiefly known. Lavandula
Spica is the plant most commonly cult
waited in gardens and may be raised
from seeds sown in the spring It should
have a sheltered position and be placed
| in light well -drained soil, and il cult
waited from plants they should be placed
| in the ground about eighteen inches
apart. This makes a charming hedge.
| and after blooming must always be cut
back into shape again. After five or six
years, the hedge may become bare and
secdy-looktng, when II should be re-
placed by cuttings from the current
years plants; these should be abb ut
three inches long and third Of each
| cutting must be inserted in the soil. In
order that dried lavender may retain its
refreshing and delicate scent for All ap-
probable length of time, great care
should be taken in cutting and drying tha
| flower spikes. They should be cnt when
the blossoms are thoroughly dry. but be-
[ fore they have begun to fall, and the
