HERE are those who do not wish to spare the money or do not feel able to purchase
ee although they deeply love and enjoy them. And then there are those who take
pleasure in interesting their friends and neighbors in the cultivation of plants, for
indeed all communities are the better for a liberal display of flowers. We wish to call the
attention of all such persons to the fact that while they are working for us, they are at the
same time supplying themselves with plants at no outlay of money to themselves, but are practically getting them free.

ROSES.
No flower is so univer sally popular as the Rose the ‘Queen of flowers.’’ It is everywhere wanted and always admired. The de- mand for roses is increas- ing every year,and I feel justified in stating that my collection this season is unsurpassed.
Roses will grow in any ordinary fertile ground, but they are particularly fond of a heavy soil, lib- erally enriched and well cultivated, The ground should be well spaded and pulverized to the depth of a foot or more, and en- riched by digging in a good coat of any well-de- cayed manure, When the ground is thoroughly pre- pared, fine and in nice con- dition, put in the plant slightly deeper.

The Hybrids must be cut back severely. They bloom best on strong, new wood. In pruning the Ever-blooming roses, all winter killed branches should be removed, also the wood which has become exhausted after several years’ blooming and younger shoots should be allowed th take their place.

How an Ameteur May Grow Chrysanthemums.
HE first important item in growing potted Chrysanthemums is the proper preparation of the soil. One-third manure
and two-thirds sods, stacked_ together and rotted (must be thoroughly rotted) and run through a coarse seive is best.
To one bushel of this soii a double handful of pure “bone meal,’ one handful of lime and one of wood ashes, and
you are ready for potting. Drainage is of most importance, for without it the surplus water will sour thesoil, the roots will
decay and all your labors will have been in vain. About April 15 to May 1, get good healthy plants from some reliable
Florist, and repot them at once in 3 1-2 or 4 inch pots, and when the pots are filled with roots repot into six inch pots, and from these, when filled with roots, into 9 or 10 inch pots.
In making the final shift, leave 11-2 or 2 inches of space at the top of the pot to receive water, and later on, when the buds appear, this space can be filled with manure to act asa stimulant. Immediately after the last potting, plunge the pots in the ground up to the rim, place your pots in rows 2 feet apart by 1 foot, and water only when it is needed. Never allow the soil to become dry enough to wilt the plant. With a soft cord fasten the plant to a small, neat cane-stake plunged deep enough to make steady, and if the branches are inclined to fal over, tie around the plant a cord which will.act as a hoop and keep it in shape. ?

PIEDMONT GREENHOUSES. en /
Ifa bush plant is desired, when the plant is about six inches high, pinch out the top; this will cause other pranches to appear, and when these branches are 4 or 5 inches long pinch the top out, and so on until July 15, when you must give the final pinching. At this season you can begin to feed your plants with manure water made by putting a shovelful of cow-manure into a half barrel of water. Give this once a week until the buds begin to form. then you can increase to twice a week. As the buds begin to swell, give it three times a week untilthe buds begin to show color, then give it once a week and as the buds begin to unfold withhold all stimulants. I omitted to say that soot water is good, given. say oncein two weeks in place of manure water. Now to grow fine flowers on long stems you must wacth the plant, and as soon as the buds are large enough you must remove all as fast as they appear, except the largest and stongest bud on the end of each branch also remove all buds that appear at the junction of the leaves, and fine, large flowers will be your reward.
Now as to the plants grown in open ground. it is best not to have it too rich; prepare it as you would for your vege- table garden. In case you have some plants that stood over winter and they come up in clumps, you must take them up plant them, only one sprout in a place. ‘
I will tell you how I grow some of my finest blooms, I prepare the ground as above stated, and then plant in rows 2 1-2 feet apart and 6 or 8 inches apart in the rows and train the plants to one flower each. Place stakes 1x1 neh thick and 4 feet high, 17 feet apart in the rows, and fasten to these stakes by giving acord one turn around each stake. Three cords, 12 inches apart will be necessary the first one 12 inches from the ground. Stretch them from one end of the row to the other, and tie the plants to these cords as fast as they grow up to them. Keep up a high state of cultivation, and water if needed during dry, hot weather. When the buds appear take all off except one to each plant as fast asthey appear. At this time give them manure waterisame as used for pot plants)about every ten days until they show color, then leave off the manure water, but don’tallow them to get too dry. Follow this treatment and kindly let me know the result.

Ferns.
The popularity of Ferns has increased wonderfully. In the past few years I haye added greatly to my collection, which is now the largest South. Ferns are now indispensable in all choice table and house decorations. Where there can be a little moisture and shade all varieties listed will do well. They delight in a good leaf mold. Good drainage must be provided, as stagnant water allowed to remain about the roots is fatal to Ferns as well as all other plants.

AN AVENUE OF SILVER-LHEAVED MAPLES,
SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL [REES. HOW TO PLANT TREES.
Preparation of the Roots.—Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of new roots and fibers.
Preparation of the Top.—This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in such a w ay as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows;
Trees with branching heads should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones, intended for the framework of the tree, cut back to within two or three buds of their. base.
In cases where there is abundant root, and small tops or few branches, the pruning need be very light, but where the roots are small and the tops heavy, severe pruning will be necessary.
These remarks are applicable toall deciduous Treesand Shrubs. Evergreens seldom require pruning, but Arborvitae and other Evergreens planted in hedgerows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting.
Silver-Leaved Maple.—A hardy andrapid growing tree of large size; valuable for producing quick shade. Excellent for yard and street planting; does not throw up sprouts from roots. Nice trees, 10 feet high, guaranteed to grow, $1.00 each.
Magnolia, Grand.—Too well known to need description. Spring is the best and safest time for planting. This makes it absolutely safe in transplanting. Price, open ground plants, 75c and $1.00 each, 2 and 2 1-2 feet high.
