 o. I want to get a quick start of roses on my new place and not wait until winter to put out. Could you advise me the best plan to pur- sue? Mrs. W. T.
 A. You can buy pot grown roses of stock grown on their own roots and many of these do well. You might not secure all the sorts yoa want as some of the best are grafted on a harder root stock. You can get quick start in this way and finish up the coming winter or spring.
 O. Is the honeysuckle blossom poisonous to children? Mrs. F., Lin coin.
 A. Most all honeysuckle blooms contain a principle that is cathartic and nauseating, some more so than others, but the pod or fruit remain ing after shedding contains more dfsagreeable principles than tue bloom. Severe cases of poisoning have been recorded.
 o. Which is the best of the small ferns known as table ferns? Miss D. A. There are many varieties and shapes in the pteris or table ferns, the names are regular jawbreakers and in buying 1t is best to get mixed collections.
 Q. What varieties of perennial larkspur would you buy to plant this month? Mrs. S.
 A. You should get delphinium belladonna mixed These mixtures contain a wide range of sorts, giving | any one desirable collection. o. In speaking of wild daisies, what plant is meant? Mrs. S. H. A. There are literally hundreds of species commonly called daisies. The hardy, small chrysanthemum and pyrethrums belong In this class.

 of oats he can grow in Alabama. am ashamed to tell him the average yield in the state. almost nothing last year. that has obtained for the past 10 years, but I can tell him what is possible with the right seed, soil and preparation. There is no place on the globe where more corn or oats either can be produced on an acre of ground than in Alabama. This state holds more records for high corn yields than any state in the union, and In the matter of oats, she stands among the first three in record yields. The chief contributing fac- tors to poor Alabama yields of all varieties of oats are unsuitable seed, spring planting instead of fall pla 1t- ing, insufficient preparation and last but the chief factor, poor, sterile soil It is a senseless practice to SOW oats on poor land unless highly fertilized with manure or complete fertilizers. A sack of acid to the acre, largely practiced, Is an inexcusable absurd,ty. Don't plant oats at all unless you start out to make 50 bushels to the acre and 100 Is possible.

 Mildew on Zinnias
 Flower lovers of Birmingham and suburbs are. certainly growing a quantity of zinnias this summer, but Just now there seems to be an epi- demlc of disease that has overtaken many plants. and some are beyond remedial measures. The chief trouble Is one of many mildews that have created such havoc this season among roses, and many other plants that are not usually affected Most all the clover found growing in waste places Is similarly affected. An abundance of rain has had much to do with spreading this disease and even some common weeds are affected for the first time in the writer's memory. Shade and the crowding of zinnias make for greater development of the disease. There are several effective measures of control. some of which are here noted, but prompt measures are essential. Dissolve tablespoonful of copperas in gallon water and stir in two tablespoonful of dry lime sulphur concentrate. Spray foliage on both sides and repeat at week in- tervals until disease disappears, Busting the underside of foliage with finely powdered sulphur will often cure. Pull out some of the plants, where too thick. to let in air.

platform Is usually a decoy to catch the minimizing voter. There kas been lot of them promulgated during the campaign just closed but most of them will be buried along with their victims who must suc- cumb to the whims of both species of the genus homo. I notice one gem tleman promises seed law to protect the farmer but he does not mention the great masses of the people who buy annually and plant vastly more seed than the farmer. The people living in greater Birmingham plant five times as many seed. reckoned in dollars and cents, than the country population of Jefferson county. No- body is going to object to an ade- quate, just seed law that will pro- tect all the people, whether 1t be the poor woman who purchases 25 cents worth of flower seed or the ann bilious farmer who plants a hundred bushels of oats. Seed laws generally permit the farmer, the real pro- ducer of the seed, to sell his merchant dealer anything. but provide a big penalty on the merchant for reselliny the same seed. should they be mixed In some states farmers have to ship their seed to another state because unable to comply with the law.
