First planting should be made early in May, on partly spent hot-beds; inverted sods form an ex- cellent medium for both planting on and for car- rying the young plants to their permanent loca- — tion, or small pots can be used. Such plantings are usually ready for transplanting to the open ground in from 3 to4 weeks. T ransplanting, when practical, should be done in the evening, into hills 4 ft. apart each way. Thin out to about 4 plants to each hill when established. The seed may be planted :n hills late in May, thus giving a succession. For pickles plant during the last two weeks in June. Plaster dust or an infusion of Hellebore powder in water will destroy the striped bug. One ounce will plant about 50 hills.

MUSHROOM.
Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, houses, sheds, or under green-
house benches. The amateur, however, is more likely to meet
with success in cellars than elsewhere, as the cool moisture of the at- mosphere and the uni- form temperature are more congenial to the erowth of this veg- etable than in the structure above ground. The temperature should range between “fifty-five and sixty degrees. Use a mixture of fresh horse drop- pings and loam that has no manure init. Before
placing this mixture in the bed turn it over every day for a week so that it does not heat violently,
and be careful to keep it under cover so that it cannot get wet. Then begin to make the bed by spreading thin layers of the mixture, and pound each firm, until you have in all a depth of eight to ten inches; leave it thus fora few days until. the heat runs up to 100 degrees or over, and then de- clines to 90 degrees; when this point is reached it is ready for spawning, which is done by making

holes, three or four inches deep and 12 inches apart each way; into each hole puta piece of spawn about as large as ahen’s egg, and fill in the hole with compost. At the end of ten or 12 days the spawn will have run through the whole bed. There should then be spread over the entire sur- face about two inches of fresh loam. Over all place a few inches of straw. All that remains to be done is to keep the temperature as near 60 de- grees as possible; it should never be allowed to fall below 50 degrees, or the crops will be both re- duced aud delayed. Ordinarily, if the conditions are right, mushrooms will appear in about six weeks, and continue to come for about a month. In the event of the surface of the bed becoming very dry, sprinkle it freely with tepid water. Af- ter the crop has been taken off the bed, it should receive a dressing of fresh loam to a depth of half an inch, thoroughly firmed, over the entire sur- face, and when dry a sprinkling with water as above recommended, and a second crop will soon be had.

LAWN GRASS.
The Chief Ornament to an Estate is a Beautiful Lawn.
The formation of a Lawn, either on large or small estates, is the first consideration for the prac- tical and scientific Landscape Gardener, and much depends upon his broad and expansive ideas as to the success of the undertaking. In commencing operations the first consideration is, whether the land requires draining. If so, this should be done at the time of breaking up the ground. Before break- ing the ground with the plow, give a good heavy dressing of well-rotted farm yard manure over the whole surface, and if the ground should break up rough or in large clots, a cross plowing would be found of great benefit. Now should be the study the formation the Lawn is to assume when finished. Dead levels or extensive flat surfaces should be avoided. The grounds should be so graded as to give to the view a rolling or undulating surface, and mounds at judicious points create picturesque and grace ful effects to the view. Effects in planting are more readily produced with an undulating surface. Regular working and pulverizing the soil is very essential to get the surface into good condition; be- side, in frequently disturbing the surface, the young weeds are destroyed that are so destructive to the young Grasses. Assuming that the right season is at hand (which is at the spring time or the month of September). the land is ready for seeding, and the very best seed procurable should be obtained. Cheap and unclean seeds will be a detriment to your success, and a disappointment after the hard work spent in the accomplishments thus far.
Weaver's Superfine Bellevue Avenue Lawn Grass Mixture never fails to give the desired effect. It at all times produces 4 fine, verdant, velvety, green turf of the best quality After the seed is sown, the surface should be raked over lightly, ora bush harrow made by nailing a frame together and interlacing branches of trees over it, and dragging this over the surface. The latter system is liked in preference to the rake. A quiet day without any wind, and preceding a rain, would be the best time for sowing, and after the seed has been covered, a good rolling with a light roller is very requisite. It will also givea firm and even surface to the Lawn. It is strongly recom- mended to drive off flocks of birds that congregate on the seeded premises, as they do great damage and are very fond of the newly germinating seeds. After the seed is well up, care should be taken in the mowing, and not cut it too close to the ground, if the cutting is not too heavy, leave it on the ground, as it will help to check the young weed seeds in their growth. Mowing should be attended to weekly, and on any bare places that are noticed some seed should be at once sown over . them, covering with a light sprinkling of fine soil. In very dry weather it is very urgent to pay attention to the watering, which is best done in the morning and evening. In the spring timea liberal dressing of artificial manures is very beneficial, such as Ground Bone, or Weaver's Red Cross Bone, which is specially adapted forall grass lands, at the rate of about 600 pounds to the acre. These top dressings should be applied from about the middle of April to the middle of May, aan as sowing over the grass, a brush harrowing, to work the newly-sown dressing down to the soil surface.
Renovating Old Lawns. ‘This may easily be accomplished by adhering to the following instructions: Rake up the whole surface roughly, and any places that patches of weeds appear, hoe them out and clean off. Follow by sowing WEAVER’S SUPERFINE RENOVATING MIXTURE. This seeding should be at the rate of not less than 2 bushels to the acre. After the seed issown, have the bush harrow drawn over it, to get the seed down to the surface of the soil. It is recommended to prepare enough sifted soil to cover the whole surface of the ground about a quarter inch deep. Add to every bushel of the sifted soil three-quarters of Powdered Superphos- phate of Lime, and one ounce of White Clover Mix all thoroughly together, and spread evenly over the lawn, giving the whole a good rolling. Watch for birds, and attend to the watering, and your lawn will be again perfect in a short time JOHN H. COX, Seedsman.
SPECIAL NOTICE.—The George A. Weaver Co. carries in stock a mechanical device whereby grass seeds can be sown more evenly than by hand. Even in windy weather sowings have been very successful and satisfactorily made by the using of this machine.

For Embankments and Terraces special mix- tures are made of good hardy, Perennial Grasses of dwarf and compact growth, and of evergreen verdure.
Weaver’s Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture. The formation of this mixture is very carefully prepared, according to the soils and situations, for in every instance mixtures have to be compounded according to the soiland lay of the land. The most nutritious varieties being used, an advantage may be gained by using Weaver’s Permanent Pasture Grasses over Tim- othy and Redtop by cutting two crops instead of one in a season.

the Nicoticide, and you have the full outlay for
destroying any of the above insect pests either | for in or out-doors.
For out-door application, spraying is best, using about one ounce of Nicot- icide to ten gallons of water. Apply with any ordinary sprayer. For fumigating use one ounce to every two thousand cubicfeet. In large houses the fumigators should be set thirty feet apart, so as to equalize the distribution of the vapor. It is advisable to have a thoroughly most atmos— phere in the house before fumitgating. As soon as toe fumigators are going, the person in charge should leave the house and not re-enter in less time than two or three hours.

Bug Death is a non-poisonous article that effect- ually takes the place of Paris Green and other dangerous insect powders.

It is a plant food of great merit, a benefit instead of injury to all plants, and preventive of _ blight or rust to the potato tops, keeping the tops healthy until the potato fully matures, which means a more starchy and perfect potato, less liable to rot. |
It may be applied dry or in a liguzd form.
If farmers use nothing else but Bug Death on their potato tops or vines they may plant peas or beans in connection with potatoes, even in the _ same row (as a great many did before they were _ obliged to; use Paris Green and other dangerous _ poisons for killing bugs), and rest assured no | harm can come from Bug Death, but on the other

| SPRAYING RECIPES AND HOW TO USE THEM.
The following brief directions for the spraying of Fruits and Vegetables have been compiled as the result of several years’ experimenting with different materials, and itis believed they can be fol- lowed without injury to the crops and with profit to the owner.
It will pay to spray all fruit plants early in the spring with copper sulphate solution, and the
second and third applications, as given, can generally be made with profit.
Never spray with arsenites
while the trees are in blossom, as the bees will be poisoned; they are necessary to fertilize the flowers.
Bordeaux Mixture. Copper Sulphate, 6 pounds; |
quick-lime, 4 pounds; water, 40 gallons.
Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting itina bag of coarse cloth, and hanging this in a vessel holding at least four gallons, so that it is just cov- ered by the water. Use an earthen or wooden vessel; slake the lime in an equal amount of water, then mix the two, and add enough water to make 4) gallons. It is then ready for immediate use. Forrots, molds, mildews, and all fungous growths.
Paris Green. Paris Green, one pound; water, 250 gallons. If this mixture is to be on peach trees, one pound of quick-lime should be added. Repeated applications will injure most foliage, unless lime is added. Paris Green and Bordeaux Mixture can be applied together with perfect safety. The action of neithcris weakened, and the Paris Green loses all caustic properties.
Copper Sulphate Solution. 1 pound; water, 25 gallons. Dissolve, then it is ready for use. This should never be applied to foliage, but must be used before the buds break. For peaches and nectarines, use 25 gallons of water. For fungous diseases.
Copper Sulphate,
London Purple. This is used in the same pro- portions as Paris Green, but as it is more caustic, it should be applied with the lime or with Bor- deaux Mixture. Do not use it on peach or plum trees.
Emulsion to Kill Elm Beetle. (Dissolve in water and strain). Flour, 6 pounds; London purple, 1 pound; kerosene emulsion, 1 gallon; soap, % pound; water, 100 gallons.
The above preparation is recommended by the Rhode Island Experiment Station for the destruc- tion of the Elm Beetle (Gadleruca Xanphomelana). It should be applied with a force pump having a fine spray.
Kerosene Emulsion. Soft soap, one quart; ker- osene, 1 pint; water, 6 to 11 quarts. Warm the soap until it becomes liquified, remove from near
the fire, add the kerosene, and agitate rapidly |
with a force pump for 5 to 10 minutes, until it be-
comes a homogeneous creamy mass, from which |
the kerosene will not separate on standing. Dilute with water, so that the kerosene will be 1-15th to
SpeciaL Prices for Quantitizs by the TON
1-25th of the entire mixture. If properly prepared, it can be used with safety upon nearly all plants, except squashes, melons, cucumbers, and others of a squash family. A remedy for all sucking insects, and for all others with soft bodies with which it can be brought in contact.
Whale Oil Soap Compound. Use 4 to 5 ounces of this soap to 1 gallon of water for above insects indoors. For deicate plants use 2 to 3 ounces to 1 gallon of water. Sure death to San Jose scale on fruit trees, by using 2 pounds of this soap to 1 gallon of water, either out-doors or in peach houses and graperies.
Arsenate of Lead is the best Insecticide known for Leaf-Eating Insects. Aecause: It kills quick- ly, does not injure the most delicate foliage. For 6 years it has been used by the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture against the Gypsy Moth, it being the only known Insecticide which will de- stroy that pest. In all parts of the United States entomologists have found Arsenate of Lead to be a perfect remedy for leaf-eating insects, and un- hesitatingly recommend its use to agriculturalists. It can be used for Caterpillar, Bud Moth, Codding Moth, Canker Worm, Pear Slug, Cherry Slug, Elm Leaf Beetle, Asparagus Beetle, Potato Beetle. Currant Worm, Cranberry Worm.

-G UCCESS in the cultivation of Howers-from seed depends to a great extent on-the operations. ~The
first requisite is RELIABLE SEEDS: we spare no pains or expense to procure the VERY BEST.
A trial of our seeds will do more to establish this fact than any statement by us would be likely to do. Having obtained the seeds desired for planting, procure suitable boxes or pans, in the bottom of which put pieces of broken pots for drainage, and fill with fine, porous soil; level it carefully and press lightly, so that a comparatively smooth surface may be obtained. Water the surface with a fine hose, and sow the seed as evenly as possible. Cover with a light, fine soil to a depth twice the diameter of the seed. Very fine seeds require little or no covering at all, a mere pressing into the soil in many cases being sufficient. A pane of glass or piece of paper should be put over them after sowing, to retain the moisture, which will generally be sufficient to cause germination, and will prevent the soil from crust- ing over. Watering is one of the most important parts of the business after the seeds are sown, and must be attended to with care and punctuality, for if the soil is allowed to become dry when the seeds are at the point of germinating you will certainly lose your crop, and this neglect is where seeds many times are blamed when it is virtually through the incompetency of the person in charge. When the young plants are large enough to handle they should be transplanted into positions desirable, boxes, pets, pans, into frames, or into the open garden, as circumstances demands.

DWARF NASTURTIUM — TROPQ@OLUM NANUS.
NASTURTIUM.
The Nasturtium is one of our leading Summer flowers. From the largely increasing sales year- ly, is proof of the high standard and quality of this very fashionable annual. The great variety and brilliancy in the colors of the flowers are remarkable, and attractive and free-flowering to a degree almost beyond recognition. The tall grow- ing kinds are indispensible for covering trellis work, verandas, etc. The dwarf-growing kinds are suitable for large beds, herbaceous borders, and massing for effect in colors on large lawns or parks, where color effect is required. ‘The Lobbi- anum class are still more dwarf and compact in their growth and may be used with marvellous effect in the small garden where brilliant color effect is desired in small space, for they are so floriferous as to almost hide the green or some- times dark red foliage. <A peculiarity not gener- ally known is, that under certain conditions of the atmosphere, the flowers have the power of emitting a phosphorescence, or like electric sparks

As soon as the plants begin to show through, fill in the trench to near the top of the shools, and continue until the trench is level with the sides; this will secure a deep planting without the bad effects of deep covering of the seed at first, and so enable the plants to bloom continually through the heat of summer. As the flowers come into full bloom they should be cut-off, for if the pods are allowed to form, the plants will stop blooming.

= OF THE
NEW CACTUS DAHLIAS FOR 1903.
The Dahlia, named in honor of Dr. Dahl, a celebrated Swedish botanist, is a half-hardy herbaceous plant, a native of Mexico and Central America. The first notice we have of the Dahlia being brought into cultivation was in 1789, when it was imported to England from Spain, but this importation was all lost. A second importation is recorded about 1800, which shared the same fate; however, about 1815 an importation from France met with better success, and which is the results of the beautiful and charming varieties we have today. The first named varieties were Dahlia variabilis, (which is synony- mous with D. Crocata and superflua), with semi-double flowers. Dahlia coccinea (syn. with D. biden- tifolia, and Georgina Cervantesii), which produced single flowers. From this time, enterprising grow- ers have been continually importing varieties and improving the old ones by hybridization and high cultivation. Between the years of about 1860 and 1870, we have the varieties of Imperialis and Jaurezii, long-pointed petal varieties, imported from Mexico, and from these and the many beautiful collections in the hands of professional growers, the forms of the decorative and quilled types of the elegantly formed Cactus Dahlias of the present day have been produced, and are likely in a great measure to supersede that beautiful flower, (rightly dubbed the Queen of Autumn), the Chrysanthemum; as they fill a place in the late Summer and early Autumn that the Chrysanthemum cannot do, hence the value and appreciation as the most decorative flower by the aristocracy of this country. Within the last few years gigantic strides has been made in this beautifultype of flowers, in distinct and brilliant colors, which are gorgeous under artificial light. Then again, the size and formation of the quilled types are marvellous productions of beauty, appearing so light and graceful, that even the massive size of the individual flowers of 10 to 12 inches in- diameter is not objected to, when the beautiful airyness of the flower is seen. The forms of the flowers of the new varieties now being sent out show immense long curled petals, and very large flowers, with incurved petals like a huge Japanese Chrysanthemum. It is the general opinion of connoiseurs of this lovely class, that the decorative types will soon have to succumb to their more graceful form of their confreres, and only be seen in collections, the same as the classic show and fancy kinds.
Propagation and Cultzvation: The Dahlia may be increased by raising seedlings; this system is only practiced for new varieties, where the golden egg is sought for. Cuttings are the usual system of propagation. In about February the stools of the last year may be brought out and placed in a good bottom heat, covering the tubers with soil, but leaving the crown exposed tothe light. Light daily syringings are requisite to induce the young growth, which may be removed when it has about three joints. Prepare some light leaf mould and sand and pot the cuttings singly in small pots, plunging them ina close frame with bottom heat, when roots will soon be formed, when they will require re- potting into some stronger soil and hardening off. The tops of these cuttings may be taken off and rooted when large enough. Division by roots is also practiced where the convenience of a hot-bed is not come-at-able, and the single tubers placed in pots or boxes make very strong and vigorous plants by time of the planting season. Increasing by grafting is also adopted, sometimes, but asa rule this system is only used in saving new varieties through the Winter time.
When the season for planting out arrives the ground where the Dahlias are to be planted should be DEEPLY TRENCHED, and if the soIL Is poor give it a good dressing of well-rotted manure, but manure is not reeommenned otherwise, for if the ground is too rich it will encourage an over-luxuriant growth of foliage to the detriment of the flowers. If flowers for exhibition purposes are wanted dis-budding must be attended to, and when showing plenty of flower a liberal supply of manure water may be given once or twice a week, according to the judgment of the grower. In planting out it is advisable to give them plenty of room, about 4 feet between each plantand 6 feet between the rows, it is advisable for the grower to become acquainted with the height and growth of each variety, as this may enable him to use better judgment in planting.
Storing. 'The tubers may remain in the ground until after frost has cut the leaves and flowers. Cut the tops off and lay them over the roots for a few drys; choose a fine day for taking up the roots, shake the soil from them and store in a dry, cool but frost-proof room. Examine once or twice during Winter, and if any of the tubers are damping remove them, as they will infect others. This is all that is necessary until the following spring. JOHN H. COX, Seedsman for The Geo. A Weaver Co.
The collection offered by THE GEO. A. WEAVER CO.are all of the best selections and newest kinds of the Cactus Dahlias, imported from the largest grower in the world. Among our importation may be found the Novelties for 1908, also the new varieties of 1902, while the Novelties of 1901 are in the General Collection, but described by date. Inthe strenuous endeavors of The Geo. A. Weaver Company to cater to the trade of Newport and surrounding country, in this new type of Dahlia, and for which such an exhaustive demand has been made during the last season, we trust to receive a share of the liberal patronage that has been hitherto bestowed upon this old and reliable business house. The varieties will all arrive carefully packed and true toname. Ouraim is to have the Imfortation here by the beginning of April, 1903, and we shall be pleased to answer any inquiried on this question of great moment for next year at any time.

Hardy Hybrid, Remontant and Other Roses.
This beautiful and Queen of the Floral tribe is in greater demand every year. Everyone that has room to plant a shrub or small tree in nearly every instance chooses a rose. Our stock this year com- prises varieties of sterling merit, and best adapted to this part of the country. The varieties whenever procurable are best on their own roots, which is by far preferable for the amateur as he avoids the sucker shoots, from the stock plants, which to the inexperienced is often taken for the variety, when it is grafted stock.
Planting should be done as early as possible in the Spring, pruning the plant well back. If Fall planting is resorted to, plant as early as you can; say, last part of September, or early part of October, —in this case leave pruning until Springtime. As soon as Winter sets in give a mulching of rotten manure and some lighter stuff thrown among the branches. This is a great protection through Winter.
Pruning should be attended to in March. All roses produce the best resuits with a judicious pruning. All weak or decayed wood must be thoroughly cleaned out, and shoots that cross or crowd the plant should be removed, so as to give it light and air. Many of the Hybrid Remontant varieties require an additional pruning after the first blooming season; this will induce a free display of flowers in the Fall or Autumn.
Protectzon. A\l are better with protection in the winter, while the Tea, Bengal and Bourbon types require extra attention, covering them well up in dry leaves, securing with evergreen branches.
Insects. Daily attention must be paid to this department for the rose is subject to attacks from multitudes of insects. The watchful gardener will, however, be on the alert, and by the use of Tob,acco Water and Insecticides, procurable from your seedsman, will be able to combat the attacks of “hese insect pests. Sulphur and soot will be found beneficial in checking mildew.
