Text Appearing Before Image:
WINDFALL S. 125 woodpecker whilst digging; whoever was observed by the woodpecker while so engaged became blind "The pjeony is no longer anything but a beautiful and splendid flower, despised by amateurs, and seldom seen but in poor gardens."— LiNN.SUS. Clematis Jackmanni.— I mail you to-day photograph of Jackman's clematis, five years old from cutting. Plantsmen's catalogues in- struct us to cut back each year one-half of las; season's growth. I have tried the experiment of cutting this specimen to the ground late each fall, and am highly pleased with the result. On May 30 there were ten vines from ten to twelve feet high, and a month later the photo- graph was taken. The new growth is much more hand- some and interesting when thus treated, and the flow- ers come at same time as when old wood is left to grow Coccinea and crispa do equally as well with this treatment, I having had growths of twenty feet a season, and very full of blossoms. I am certain all who give this method a trial will be pleased. These varieties are gross feeders, and soil should be rich. I give a liberal cover- ing of well-rotted manure each winter, to serve the double purpose of protect- ing and enriching—Emory P. Robinson, Ohio. To have Beautiful Fuch- sias and other Plants. —Get slips of those you wish to raise as near the first of the year as possible. Put them into rich earth, and water frequently with warm water. As soon a s good roots show, put them into pots two inches in di- ameter, and set them in saw- dust or a box of earth, bury- ing the pots to the brim
Text Appearing After Image:
A Good Clematis Jackmanni When they have grown an inch or two high, tie them to slender sticks, as they grow faster and better if supported. Keep them con- tinually moist with warm water. Examine them fre- quently, if they show rapid growth, to see if the roots have reached the outside of the earth ; as soon as they do this, give them a larger pot, and so on till it is time to set them out of doors. Then as they increase in size, give them liquid twice or three times a week, using horse- manure. To prepare it, fill a bucket two-thirds full. Pour boiling water over it, and cover ; when cool, stir it up a little in the water, then let it settle. Use one-fourth liquid manure to three- fourths water. This mix- ture benefits most rapidly growing plants, and answers well for fuchsias, geraniums, amaryllis, gloxinias, cactus, etc. Pansies set in beds, if watered twice a week, will keep up their size, and in some instances have in- creased it. The manure thus treated will last two months (with repeated scald- ings), and afterwards can be used to enrich the earth for pot plants. Fuchsias are much bene- fited by being watered over- head once a day in a moder- ate temperature, and twice a day in extremely hot weather. In summer they should be put in the shade, but not under a tree. Sun in the morning or evening does not hurt them ; but mid-day sun in summer is too scorching. There are several winter-blooming varieties that do well in the house. These must not be allowed to bloom in sum- mer. Fuchsias treated as directed above become a mass of bloom and continue their blossoms during the warm season.—Experience. Convolvulus minor ker- mesinus violaceus pumi- lus striatus grandiflorus flore pleno.—This is a good thing.—R. T. Choke.
