GENERAL PLANTING. HE late Sir Percival Dyke, to liis honour he it said, "raided in 1831 slips of land to enable the villagers to grow suHicient Turnips for their families ; and if any were found taking this vegetable fiom the field their land was taken from them. AYilliam Howard cultivated his for ■sixty-si.'c years, and soon after taking possession planted an Ajiple tree Winter Queening. This grew and flourished, regularly bearing good crops, and in 1897 it bore some bushels of fine highly-coloured fiVnf*'' which attracted great attention. Howard became celebrated as the oldest allotment holder in Kent, and, probably, in the kingdom. II. M. Pollett, Esq., of ISiekley, hearing this, came to see this interesting villager and his fruit, and was so 'Struck with his history, general appearance and good character, that he ^Mr. Pollett) offered to give a Silver Cup to com- memorate this unique event. A meeting was called and held at the Board School-rooms, and the villagers attended in numbers. Mr. Henry Cannell was (inanimously voted to the chair, and to present the Cup; and after some technical County Council business had been got through, this exemplary octogenarian villager was asked to step up. This he did, with his bushel of lovely red apples. The chairman addressed him with a good many com- plimentary remarks on the history of the tree and his allotment during all these years, and presented him with the Cup, also a photograph of himself and the tree he planted so long ago. The healthy old chap, on taking hold of the Cup, expressed him.self delighted, and told the meeting in his homely way how and where he got the tree, planted and afterwards nourished it, and also how thankful he was that he had during his life done something to make his exertions recognised. Before sitting down ho made use of these words : “If I hadn’t planted that tliere tree 1 shouldn’t have had all this here fruit,” at the same time pointing to the basket of lovely Apples. These remarks struck deep into the hearts and minds of those who heard him, and as Sir William Hart Dyke, his landlord, gives all encouragement to gardening, the residents of the parish decided on having a village Arbor Day for planting Emit and other Ornamental Trees in various parts of it, to enrich and beautify the village, for in olden times every man was exhorted “to beget a son, dig a well and plant a tree.” On January 6th, 1897, The TVmes strongly advised fruit culture and fruit eating, clearing away old trees and inferior varieties, and re()lacing with young pyramidal bushes and best kinds. It was therefore arranged to have a real old-fashioned Arbor Day Celebration. All were invited. Sir George Birdwood and C. W. W. Radclilfe Cook, Esq., M.P., came from town and took a prominent p.art. The first [irocccdings were to present Howard with another Winter Queening to ])lant in his son’s garden. Sixty years having elaj)sed since our gracious Queen ascended the throne, elforts William Howard. Cur and Tref.

The tree having been handed him, and duly planted, staked and made safe, the children danced round it, singing — “Stand fast root, bear well top. Pray God stud us a good apple crop ; Every twig, apples big ; Every bough, apples enow ; Hats full, caps full, Full quarter sacks full ! Hurrah ! ” Afterwards Sir George Ilirdwood and Mr. Radcliffe Cooke completed the planting of an acre of Cyder Apples. Sir (feorgo and the Member for Hereford each planted a tree (this year nearly every tree in that orchard is already bearing fruit). Cottagers also planted fruit trees in their gardens. .Miss Sydney JJyke planted a Royal Jubilee Ap|)le tree in the gardens of Lullingstone Castle, which has also borne splendid fruit ; but the greatest event, which occurred in the centre of the village, was the planting by the children of ornamental trees on a bank of the recently- erected Schools, so arranged that the initial letter of each tree spells the passage in the Bonk of I 'ro verbs, thus; — M Y s P B o O p ?r N Cl O Like the fruit trees already referred to, the “ emblematic ” specimens on the School bank, as shown above, have also flourished amazingly, despite S[)ring planting and unusual drought. A fruitful tree has ever been the emblem of the good and just. How fitting thus to celebrate the benehcent reign of our beloved (jueen ! Algernon Holt Whi.^te, Ifsq., Her Majesty’s Inspector, came to examine the school clnldron of Eyusfoid immediately after Arbor Day Commemoration, and he was able to tell how his own father in 1820, when a boy, had sown an acorn at Clements Hall, in Essex, and rooks had built in the tree for thirty years after. 4 Hereford is fortunate indeed in having a representative in Parliament who so successfully advocates the claims of the fruit-growing industry and the resuscitation of our village orchards. Mr. Kadcliffe Cooke, by his zealous ]deading, has enormously increased the demand for fruit and fruit drink — the “ Wine of Britain.” Arbor Day has already been given quite an impetus. In Eynsford village alone there are no less than 108 allotment holders. We shall see a choice Apple tree planted in every one of those garden plots, as Sir William Hart Dyke, who owns most of the property, and possesses more fruit trees than perhaps any other landlord, is a great advocate of fruit, flowering trees, shrubs, and particularly evergreens, being planted in every village villa and cottage garden, and oven in the bye lanes of our charming Kentish village, thus attracting more to a country life by the beauty of the surroundings. For a particular account of Arbor Day Celebration we refer our friends to the Magazine of the Selborne Society for June, 1898. (Elliott Stock, 62, Paterno.ster Row. Price 2iJ.) It contains a very able paper on Arbor Day by Mr. Radcliffe Cooke. * HISTORICAL TREES PLANTED DURING HER MAJESTY’S REIGN. In the Queen’s gardens at Osborne are to be found some very interesting trees and shrubS; Amongst the most interesting trees planted as memorials we may mention Tilia Europtva, which was planted by Her Majesty in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee, on July 28tb, 1897. Princess Beatrice also planted a Fagus cuprea in commemoration of that event. H.R.H. the Prince Consort planted a Magnolia grandijlora in the flower garden on March 10th, 1846, whicli is doing remarkably well. On June 30th, 1831, Leopold I., King of the Belgians, planted a Mahonia nepalends. On Febraary 10th, 1862, Her Majesty the Queen j)lanted at the Swiss Cottage, for H.R.H. the Prince Consort, a Sciadopiiyx verticillata (The Umbrella Pine). Her Majesty the Queen planted at the Swiss Cottage, on February 8th, 1878, a Myrtle (in honour of the marriage of her grand-daughter. Princess Charlotte of Prussia) grown from a sprig of the Princess Royal’s wedding bouquet, January 25th, 1838. An Ahifji pimapo, planted by Her Majesty the Queen, May 24th, 1819, is now over forty feet high, and about eight feet in circumference. The Emperor of the French planted an AhRs nohilifi, and the Empress of the French an Aides pinsapo, on August 8th, 1857, on the lawn. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and H.R.H. the Princess of Wales each planted an Abies pinsapo at the Swiss Cottage two days after they were married — namely, March 12th, 1863. Altogether there are something like 230 memorial trees, each one recalling some person or event of interest to mind, and to those who can remember, the planting of these trees must be highly interesting. {From the Royal Horticultural Society’s Journal.) 5 » A RE everywhere becoming more and more celebrated; they recover from their removal so quickly, making capital roots and growth. Coming from our calcareous, loamy, hitherto pure farming soil at Eynsford, they are perfectly free from mildew and insects, and when removed to other soils according to our well=known system, always give the greatest satisfaction, so very different to trees from fine soft silky land. They give a crop at once, particularly if planted as per our published essay on the following page— “ How to Remove Trees without Injuring Them.” This paper, which we printed in last year’s Catalogue, has been eulogised by even professional men, is said to be the most practical and invaluable of its kind ever written, and should be read and recommended by all. Following these directions, our Trees are a source of pleasure and profit not equalled by those of any other firm. See the following testimonials. E. D.

HOW TO TRANSPLANT THEM SUCCESSFULLY. THEIR REMOVAL AND RECOVERY NO LONGER A MATTER OF CHANCE AND LOSS, BUT ONE OF SCIENCE AND SUCCESS. Even ill a moderately well-designed garden how lovely evergreens always look compared with a barren, uncultivated rough spot, particularly during the long dreary winter, even to those who unfortunately have not a keen taste for gardening, and if well grown all will stand and admire them in the spring before leafage becomes general on the deciduous kinds. On deciding to have ornamental and beautiful shrubberies, or a fruit garden, all will profit im- mensely by perusing, thinking over, and well understanding the following brief extemporaneous address given by Mr. H. Canneu., Senr., before the members of the Gardeners’ Association, Bromley, Kent. Choosing and ordering from the nurseryman is easy enough, but what I want to show, and what all interested in gardening .should wish to know, is how to make a successful transfer of trees from one place to another without there being in the spring much difference in their looks, and without dis- figurement and vexation. Nurserymen get many angry letters when the trees look bad or die ; none when they flourish. Lovely as they may bo when they come in from the nursery, remember they have to probably undergo what in the hands of the unskilful workman is next to a killing operation. In my opinion there is no branch or operation in gardening which ought to be done with greater human kind of feeling, exactness and care, than transplanting, yet no work is commenced or carried on year after year so unthoughtfully, or with loss consideration, although vigour of life, or death of our dear proj>erty is wholly dependent on our knowledge of the treatment they receive. Here the true meaning of the phrase comes in, “Nothing succeeds like success,” and the following is how to attain that happy object. The suffering of the plant we value so much has never entered the operator’s mind. No one ever stops to look or think of the losses in the flow of sap which the plant must sustain by being wrenched up and the breaking of roots in taking them up from the hard ground, or to say what is wanted and what should be avoided. Most people are satisfied and contented so long as they get big long tops and a small portion of root, and conclude it is sure to grow, never thinking of the une(iual balance between toj) and bottom before and after being taken up. This alone often prevents a plant succeeding, and when it becomes leafless, or its lovely green foliage turns to a dirty sickly brown, then the proprietor feels dissatisfied, and, of course, blames someone. No one cares to know how or why it occurs, why it lives, and why it died. Strange no one ever asks themselves a common sense question respecting them. What caused this plant to die ? There is a reason. Let us look at Nature in an ordinary sense manner. Plants, like mankind, cannot endure too much hardship or die just when they like, and when they do there is certainly something that has brought it about, and that cause with the practical thinking mind can very often bo seen pretty clearly. A doctor’s character and value are estimated by the family exactly by the skill and the amount of common sense that is used and adopted in getting the patient well according L) Nature’s laws, so are gardeners’ abilities estimated in a similar way; and respecting the getting of patients well of whatever may be the matter, the more clearly the doctor sees and understands the nature of the case and advises and acts accordingly, so will the ailing sooner recover (or the removed tree assume its former vigour), and the better character will he obtain in the eyes of those who are anxious to see all live happily. The great secret, when a patient or plant is undergoing a severe and dangerous operation, is to keep up the strength and vigour — lose this and the end is surely near. It sliould be remembered there is no twig or leaf — no, not even the smallest tendril, but what has its roots supporting it, and exactly vice verscl. I ask any practical man interested to stand in front of a tree or shrub : tbink of the innumerable little feeding roots penetrating and burrow'ing in all directions in the soil during all w'eathers, absorbing largo quantities of moisture or food and sending it up to the plant. Think when a powerful digger comes and thrusts in a 10-inch steel pronged fork and brings up a good-sized forkful of soil ; wash this and get out the small rootlets ; the number it contains will be surprising; multiply these all round and beneath the jilant, and imagine a plant enjoying them to-day, and without them and food or drink to-morrow, in THUJA ORIENTAI.IS. Reduced ami made a better shape. 8 a (hying wind and snn, so contrary to their nature. When ruthlessly wrenched up in the way labourers usually do, it is surprising any live at all, as you will lind scarcely any of these important rootlets, and probably only hard woody parts of roots that steady it against the wind are left ; these substances have no means beyond their spongy nature of sucking up a very small amount of moisture for nourishing the plant until it emits or makes new white roots from the harci • ones, which, even in the most favourable weather, will take at least a fortnight. Even then the supply is small and can only be scanty for months, and particularly if removal has been done during very cold frosty weather, so the top branches have little or no more than the sap that exists in the stems or body of the plant. This is the dangerous time. Every day the plant must have sap to send up to supply its foliage against wind and sun, even if the season is particularly dry, windy or sunny, and the moment it can get no more the foliage droops, the wood turns bi'onzy and yellow, and the stems become ribbed or furred ; these are sure signs that the top of the plant is dead. True, some trees will break from the stem or oven from the bottom, but practically it is useless, and the sooner it is up and replaced the better. And yet trees — like human beings — if healthy will endure a great deal of hardship and struggle for dear life ; all kinds of hardy plants, if carefully taken up, the roots kept perfectly moist and well eovered, and replanted quickly and carefully in the ordinary way and trodden down firmly, at the proper time, will live and flourish, and no one need have any fear after reading and understanding the meaning and points of the subjects in this paper respecting them. Let us look at this shrub {see illustration), and note the enormous difference between the top and its roots. Is it to bo supposed it can send up support! It must bo (juite apparent that a plant so removed from its former home and soil, where hundreds and even thousands of tiny white roots that were feeding and doing their daily work are suddenly cut and torn away, must be undergoing an almost sure-death operation, and it is here that the physician should step in and say, “ Unless you consent for me to reduce it branches to a reasonable proportion, owing to what has riNus .sTRonus occurred in reducing its roots, I will not be answerable for its life ; (WEYMOUTH tine). let iiie do this even to the disfigurement of the plant.” But in nearly every case, with an eye for uniformity, trees and shrubs in particular can be cut to advantage here and there, and so improve their shape and beauty ; this may be done either before they are taken up or directly afterwards, and it will then be more likely to recover from (he dangerous operation and soon put forth fresh growth, without the annoying sight of brown and yellow leaves and dead branches ; but to let all the top remain, most serious consequences will be almost sure to occur. I know to reduce a beautiful tree would be painful to the eyes, but it is one of those cases where knowledge and common reasoning must reign supreme and be master of the situation. Act at the right place and time, at this critical moment, and in a year or so the plant will show plainly the good results of forethought and skilful work. Always ehoose warm weather with continuous showers, which are the great secret in assisting trees over such removal and mutilation ; if not possible, do all you can to supply the moisture by hand. I.,aurels and all kinds of evergreens require far more care and skill than a deciduous tree, for this reason, they not only have the wood to maintain but the foliage also ; this makes them require so much more sustenance than a leafless tree. It is contrary to their nature for evergreens to be bare of foliage, they therefore rerjuirc most thoughtful treatment to prevent suffering. R o s c: s. Order these early in the autumn, persist in having place and soil ready and trees in by the end of October, never mind their having green foliage, young growths and a flower here and there ; have them planted quite by the end of that month and immediately prune as per cross-cuts in the engraving, the remaining wood will then keep green and freshen, eyes plump, and the woody roots will put forth two or three inches of new white roots and keep supplying sap more or less throughout the winter. By the spring time, if the plants were skilfully taken up and packed from the nursery, planted and staked, there will not be much difference between these and those planted a year or two previously, and they will give you some bloom buds well nigh if not quite good enough for showing. Exactly the same applies to fruit and all trees ; of course new soil that they are to root into must be quite as good and as much better as you like ; this being so and all well-firmed down by treading, you can rest assured of seeing living 9 plants in the summer, and you can proudly say that those are the result of careful, common-sense treatment in transplanting. The above illustration shows the best way to get hush Roses on their own roots ; plant all dwarfs so that the base of the budded wood is below the ground line (.see engraving) ; if this is done, the wood grown from the bud will soon make new roots, the original ones on the Briar will waste away, and in two years all will be own rooted Roses. Why and How Plants look Sickly and Die. Often in the autumn in some nurseries a jack-of-all-work is called in to handle a fork or spade, and it frequently touches his dignity, or rather his temper. This is the beginning of a failure, whereas in a large nursery they keep regular diggers who do this sort of nork of taking up trees with far more case and skill than a green hand. When planting they will break up, pulverise and powder the -soil ; this is better for the roots, which should by no means be exposed to light, the sun in particular, for if so they soon become dried and withered, the woody roots harden, and the little white librous ones are destroyed. As an instance, we often see at railway stations straw bundles with roots protruding; if so you can see a failure coming. This often occurs when plants are bought at auctions, through chea[) advertisements, or from nurseries where there is often a scarcity of packing material or inexperienced packers. These are dear even if they only cost the charges of carriago. It is said that there are not a dozen (inns in the kingdom that keep competent packers with proper tools and materials to carry out this work, whereas we have competent order clerks and staff, and, again, we grow our own straw, osiers and moss, make our own baskets and boxes, and it is quite a profession to do this work well. [See letter from a gentleman who sent 2s. Qd. for the packers.] It is also necessary to have stakes, wire and old sacking in readiness at planting time for keeping the trees in their proper upright position and steady ; for months after planting we have often seen them lying sideways or nearly flat on the ground. Then in the spring the nurseryman, or something other than the actual common- sense cause, is blamed for trees doing badly. Thesecret is to induce the making of new librous roots quickly. Lot them be at the railway station for days after arrival, the porter tells you he has taken care of them under cover, whereas had they been turned out in the rain, it would have revived life, tiiey would have been much improved, and even a little frost would have done no serious injury to hardy trees so long as the roots were not exposed. The moment you receive the trees, or oven your own, from e 10 wherever they have recently been taken up, and especially if they had been kept dry "and not„able for some time to supply sap to the uppermost branches and foliage, throw them into a tank or pond of water, or stand them upright in a tub for twelve hours, so that all or as much of the top as possible is immersed, and notice how wonderfully it will refresh and stiffen them, then plant them at once. A capital plan, particularly if the trees are planted late in the spring, is to paint or daub them with a mixture of one part clay, fresh slaked lime, and a little soot j this will prevent the action of the sun and dry winds playing direct on the tissues of the trees, and will last for a few weeks ; rain and time will bring it all off. If the trees are very large and planted after January, let their stems be bound round with strips of sacking, similar to how grooms do their horses’ legs ; if it is good for them, it is good for the trees, until they can catch hold of the soil and help themselves to food and moisture. This canvas should also bo painted over with the clay, etc., as mentioned above. A man is often set to plant who is not accustomed to the use of the spade ; far better to give a digging navvy even 5s. per day with the understanding that he is to do just as he is told. '’piaTiting a tree, particularly all kind of fruits, is very much like putting in the foundation of a house ; if it is not done well, every time you look at either your own or your neighhours’, thoughts come to you and annoy you. If the sihiation is low, be sure it is well drained two or three feet below the roots of the trees ; if this is neglected, stunted growth and parasito-moss-bound trees are sure to be the result. To have trees do well, trench and break up the soil deeply, and do it so that the strata of soil is left almost as exactly as when you began to move it ; afterwards keep the surface free from weeds, and as many fowls as you like may be allowed to run about beneath the trees. I know several orchards that were unfruitful until this was adopted. As the insects fall the fowls eat them, and also secure them when ascending the stems. If you have choice of aspect for orchards, choose liigh ground sloping south-east, so that the first peep of the morning sun commences gently to dispel the icy dew which occasionally occurs in early spring when the fruit trusses are in flower, and so save pollen on the stamens and preserve the pistil. It is almost a set rule that if an impoitant root becomes injured or mutilated in the lea.st by the tine of a fork going through, to cut it off, making a clean cut (this is thought to bo so important) right up to the hard wood, and often a tree when placed on its bed to be planted has little else but three or four stem-like prongs. This cutting is entirely wrong ; instead, lay the poor injured root — as a doctor would a poor man’s leg broken in two places — with the greatest care, for if the parts only hang together with a bit of skin or bark they will soon heal ami grow and become an important advantage ; therefore don’t cut the poor root. Doctors have discontinued using the knife to a surprising extent compared with what they formerly did, only resorting to it when a fidl sense of understanding makes it necessary to sever the part, and never otherwise. Next and most important is never to crave for rank, vigorous trees ; those with moderate growth, with what are called spurs, showing fruU buds, planted in soil rather better than what the trees have been grown in, are certainly much to lie preferred for many reasons. It is not often noVv-a-days, from the stock we graft on, particularly Apples, that fruit trees fail to be fruitful from too luxuriant growth ; if so, sever the roots a reasonably short distance from the stem, half way round, and do the other half the following autumn ; this in a good deep soil generally brings about a beneficial result. Northern people, say that southern grown trees never do well in their climate ; but seeing that the Canadiatis send us such an abundance of fine rosy-cheeked Apple.s, where the tem[)eralure is often 26‘, .30’, and even 40° below zero, whatever difference can a few degrees here make on our trees after months of growth? I much question if trees ever feel the difference when in a dormant state. The larger the fruit is the better it sells, cooks like it better, and the more we are proud of it ; therefore the better the ground is prepared so will the size of the fruit bo accordingly. When trees crop well feed them well, and the more you do so the better they pay. Eat one, tw’o, or three apples every daj and you will not complain much about your liver and other ills as is usually the case. Of course after reading the above there will be those w'ho will differ, and to those I will point out one subject connected with gardening that most have seen and will remember. Are Kaspberries as a rule planted at their pioper time? I fear not. As late as November they are laid in bundles, soil thrown over the roots and left; probably in a month .some will be wanted, then the surprise is what a quantity of white roots they have made ; but no one laments they were not planted in their proper place at first and so derived the full value and advantage of these early roots to strengthen them and the crop the following year. These repeatedly injured and weakened plants arc sometimes nearly half killeii by the time they get into their iiermanent places, and when June comes the complaint is that they take so long to get into good bearing condition ; consequently I maintain that the white fibrous roots must convince everyone that early planting is an invaluable secret in the successful removal of trees.

An AoH’JsnioN of tiiic Gkratfst Value for Cut Flowfjis. MISS HARVBY, or WHITE MRS. FILEINS— It is said by those that have seen it to be the most important and the most usetul and valuable variety of all Chrysanthemums. All this is based on the experience tliey have had of the yellow variety we sent out. It has, and always will be grown iu large quantities, because the shape is so fascinating, and the exact, neat-formed petals that the present ffishion requires, from one end of the globe to the other : yes, for both hutton-lioles and bouquets, ilraw*ing and dining-rooms, this variety always commands most admira- tion, All the world has been waiting for anotlier colour of the same form ; thousands have asked one another who was going to give them a white one. A year ago we should have said it was very, very far oif, but we are indeed proud to say it is now a realised fapt, and we also hold the entire stock of this much-wanted and anticipated White Mrs. Filkins. Tnis we now otter for the first time under the name of Miss lldTVcxfy by re(juest, after the raiser’s daughter — a miss in her teens — trim, neat, and lovely she looks in her snow-white dress. At the present time no flower is so w'auted as this ; no flower will be so welcomed by all— rich and poor — as this gem of jew’els amongst lovers of the Chrysanthemums for the choicest purposes. 7s. 6d. CjirysanthkmUm, White Mits. Filkins. — This is one of the many novelties sent out by Messrs. Caunell during the last twenty years, certainly it is not one of the least important of the additions made to the Chrysanthemum list. 1 Q size, form and character the newcomer resembles its parent, but is jmre white. For wreaths and bouquets, as well as /■or the decoration of the dwelling house in vases, a great future lies before this Chrj’santhemuni. — E. Molyneux. 9i€u) and 'liare ^(ant6. Ill JAPANESE. 1360.

Nearly a dozen of the experts all made sure of carrying off this prize, but the great beauty of Mr. Waterer’s arrangement, consisting of a sport from Snowdrop, carried off the First Prize (juite easily, much to the delight of all. 1 1 is the opinion of those who have seen it that it is the loveliest Pompon variety yet introduced, the colour being of a pleasing flesh-pink shade. Wherever cut flowers are used, owing to its delicate colouring, we are sure this variety will find favour and be much appreciated. Owing to the colour- ing being of such a soft lovely shade, it will be found beneficial, and also ensure the plant being in perfection for a much longer period, if they are slightly shaded from the sun or strong light.

Its herbaceous slender difi'usely-branched stems are annual, and attain in a few months 20 to 30 feet in height, covering a large surface ; the small, dense, dark green very elegant foliage, which defies dust, disease and insects, produces a thick impenetrable shade, persistent until frosts. It is enhanced by thousands of small white flowers, similar in shape to those of our native Lily of the Valley, which are occasionally succeeded by small white or red-orange-coloured berries. It succeeds as well in the smoky atmosphere of towns as in the country, and will be moat welcomed for planting at the sea-side, thriving admirably where most other climbers fail. It undergoes our sharpest winters as well as our warmest summers, and delights in good soil and exposed positions. It is of the easiest culture, and its perennial roots, when established, may remain indefinitely in the same place, care being taken to remove the stems when they are destroyed by frost. Is. Mr. W.

It is always the first and last to give useful flowers, and is more conspicuous in every garden than almost any other. The variety we are now olfering with great pleasure is an exact counterpart, excepting the colour of the (lowers, of the above-named general favourite ; it produces the same abundance of flowers of the loveliest orange-red ever seen in this family, and might justly he called “Soldier’s Tunic,” so bright and attractive is the colour. It is sure to become a universal favourite 7s. 6d. GRAND NEW CACTUS DAHLIA. We have been appointed Distkibutoks oi' this distinct and beautiful vauibtv fok Gp.e.at Ueitain. LORELET — Flowers are of an agreeable size, and for beauty of shape and exquisite tint is far ahead of any other variety in commerce, excelling them in the more chaste and graceful combination of habit aud bloom, attracting the eye by its charmingly soft and richly blended rose colours, likened to the beautiful La France Rose, melting or shading towards the centre to ivory-white. It flowers in the wildest profusion, and is more than remarkable for its long stiff wiry steins, supporting blossoms of the most perfect porcupine-([uill shape well above the foliage, and at no time exhibiting even in the slightest degree, heavy or half-developed flowers— so frequently the case with many of our standard varieties. These sterling decorative rarden qualities, combined with its inimitable shape and delicate colour, demand for it in The garden and cut-flower trade a place that cannot be filled by any other Dahlia at present in cultivation. 3».

I)uuDg the past ten years many plants have been much improveil and become more useful in many ways, and for several seasons it was thought probable some of them would entirely supersede our very old and well-tried friends, the Geraniums of our gardens, Imt time and experience have proved otherwise, nature seeming to have ordained it that certain plants should continue to be alike fuitable and useful in spite of man’s endeavours, and undoubtedly the Zonal Pelargonium still continues to bo without a serious rival for many purposes, particularly for bedding and winter llowering. So as to encourage and still further extend the usefulness and improve the beauty of the Zonal, and also as an inducement to amateurs and others to take up a most instructive and interesting branch of horticulture by becomiug hybridizers and raisers of new kinds, we are willing to pay Five Pounds for One Plant of any new and distinct colours. It must be distinctly understood they must be a decided advance on existing varieties, and that we possess the entire stock ; also that we agree to present the rais-r with one plant fiom the original.

HOW TO MANAGE PLANTS, ROOTED GUTTINGS, AND SEEDLINGS SENT BY POST. ^/j® HEKE persons have the convenience and siilUcieut experience for nursing small plants, and enjoy seeing them grow, we strongly rsconimeud their having them sent by post, as every core is taken to grow them iu such a • d)®'' tempeiature, &c., that there is no risk about their doing well with a small amount of ordinary core, if the apjieuded instructions are carefully followed. 1 1 must be remembered that plants arc like young children ; they must be carefully looked after, fed, clothed, and trained in the way they should go, and a little common sense exercised to ascertain their requirements, and to guard against enemies. And should they be forgotten, and get with others of bud character, it is surprising how quickly they will partake of the same appearance and disease, and wilt soon die in sorrow and disgrace. A sweet-smelling hot-bed rather on the decline is preferable, with the heat at about sixty-live degrees. When you receive a box of rooted cuttings or jdaiits, immerse them in water at the same temperature from two to four hours. t\'hen they are all refreshed, proceed to pot them into small pots, using nice, waini, sandy soil. See that the roots are separated and spread natui-ally out in the .soil without injuring them, pressing the soil firmly, riuce them in the frame, keej) them shut close for a few days, be careful of damp, and admit air as they get established. !.■ t them bo slightly dried each day, but do not allow them to flag from tor much air or sun. And if a person posiesses a stove, or even a warm greenhouse, there is no more difficulty in getting them to grow under an air-tight hand-glass or wooden box with the top covered with glass, than those of their own striking or raising.

Amateurs selecting their own are respectfully requested to add to their orders a few supplementary sorts, lest by previous orders the stock of any particular variety should be exhausted, this being especially necessary late in the season. Another secret in getting Roses to grow after removal, particularly Standards, is to prune well back and plant early in October, or as soon in November as possible. February and March are the best Spring months. By so doing, young fibres are made at once before the cold weather sets in, whereas, if planted later in the usual way, they must stand without nourishment until the return of the season.

STRA WBERRIES. THE ABOVE ILLUSTRATION SHOWS A FIFTY ACRE FIELD AT SWANLEY. >Fe respectfully solicit your orders for the' finest plants from the most complete and best kept collection in England. Swanley is the largest and best Strawberry- growing district in the world. Many Acres grown entirely for the Runner Plants all In separate beds, at a distance of 3 feet from plant to plant on purpose so that every kind must be true to name. WiWHE strawberry is one of our most important fruits, and should be better understood and grown ; if so, a full crop would be almost a certainty every year. The first and chief aim should be to have 3 or 4 inches of good manure evenly spread on the soil, then well trenched or deeply dug, and turned over the second or even third time, well mixing the manure with the soil ; this should be done not later than July. Then have fine young green plants from us, trim off all the leaves except one or two, place the roots as in Fig. 4, with the crown well above the soil, which tread firmly ; this done, well water them, should the soil or weather be dry, until they get well into growth. Beyond this little else is needed but hoeing until just before the fruit shows colour the following year, when the ground should be carefully covered with clean straw ; be careful to place it close up and round the plants ; at all times cut away the runners and the crop will be large. If fine exhibition fruit is required, and the weather is dry, make four or six holes with a crowbar round the plants, and fill up with liquid manure three or four times a week, and the fruit will be much increased in size. The berries must be thinned and none left to come but what are wanted for exhibition. Always keep them free from weeds. 75 W. ^anne{{ ¥ kfon6' Autumn ^afafogue. The four accompanying illustrations represent, as plainly as a finger-post, why and how plants grow, do well, and hice versd. No. 1 is planted much too deep. No. 2 has its roots rammed and jammed too close together, and half-drowned when the weather is wet. No. 3 is far too much above soil, nearly starved, and the life blown out of it in windy weather. No. 4, being properly and naturally planted in the right way and time, clearly illustrates its far outgrowin" the others, or in other words, showing right and wrong way of planting. Strawberries planted in August will bear fine large fruit the following year. Money will be coming in, all things made sunny, and the garden going on merrily. The great and most essential thing is to well trench and manure the soil. In doing this, pray never bring the bottom dead soil to the top ; let it be so done that the manure is well mingled, put the soil in the same position as before. Soil cannot be too well pulverised. As an instance — in Swanley district the ground for Potatoes IS ploughed five times, with the result that we have the best quality of this vegetable in the world. The ploughboy says, “Potatoes must have plenty of crumb.’’ The same remark applies to Strawberries. Hoe an inch of fine dusty soil on the surface, this will keep the under soil moist and the sun out ; they will then withstand any drought. After well preparing the soil, level and roll or tread it, and the planting done with a small spade ; make sure that the roots of the plants inserted are well spread out, press the soil down firmly with the foot until the crown is just above the soil (See No. 4.). This firming should be repeated fortnightly until the plants are well established. Let there be 2 ft. 6 in. distance between each row, and 2 ft. from plant to plant. Many of our best growers in Kent will have them 3 ft. apart always, and say, “ We must have fine fruit, small fruit never pays.” To see what is wanted, and what to avoid, is the art of gardening ; by adopting the above instructions, and applying the same to all gardening operations, the garden will be a greater success and pleasure. Give way to leisure and all will revert to a wilderness. If you want to succeed, let all your garden operations be guided by calmness and reason ; be collected in everything you undertake, and do all you can to assist and coax Nature, dive deeply into the cause and effect — remedy is often easy if you arc anxious — when so, one can hardly be otherwise than snceessful. 8®” Strawberries, like Potatoes, are always more fruitful when given a change of soil, consequently success depends a good deal on having runners from a purely different soil. Our Establishments being located in the midst of hundreds of acres of all the best Strawberries and Raspberries, enables us to offer fine plants, and good sure-cropping kinds, at the lowest prices. Swanley has again this season far excelled all other localities for its quantity and quality of fruit. A. W. Hayden, Esq., Vinings Cottage, Sandown, I.W. I am pleased to tell you I received the Strawberry plants quite safe this morning, they arrived in splendid condition. Messrs. John Bolam & Sons, Alnwick. Yours is the finest consignment of Strawberry plants we have ever had, and your method of packing leaves nothing to be desired. Mr. G. H. Hunt, Market Grower, The Lodge, Stapleton. Received Strawberry plants in splendid condition, and am highly satisfied with them. Mr. W. H. Lawson, Fruit Grower, ICnaresborough. Please send me 5,000 more of your Royal Sovereign Strawberry runners ; those I had from you in the Spring have done remarkably well. Mr. S. Hutching, Woodville, New Zealand. June 21st, 1898. I had two dozen Strawberries, Royal Sovereign (6s), from you July, 1896, which turned out splendid — lost one plant tliat was my own fault. You will be surprised to hear I had over 3,000 runners, and made over £9 in ten months, besides planting out 1,000. This year I have sold about 18,000.

STRA WBERRIES, Wliat a lovely refreshing fruit, and wlien we hear it is the firm belief of the highest in tlie medical profession that if we were to eat more we should liear less of gout, rheumatism, and other pains; and seeing how easy Strawberries are to grow, it should be the set determination of all to cultivate their own, and have them with all their beautiful freshness, morning and evening, as long as possible, and when so, they are one of the greatest charms and benefits that mankind can partake of.

OREGON— Quite new and highly recommended, yielding fruits as large as Hericart de Thury.

An enormous, handsome, mid-season Strawberry of rich Pine-like flavour. The fruit is of enormous sue, of a bright crimson or carmine shade of colour, flesh and skin firm, and of a dark scarlet tint throughout, the seeds set in shallow basins projecting beyond the surface, the fruit travelling ,vell flavour very rich and Pine-like, with a pleasant aroma — plant very compact in habit, and a robust grower. The variety was raised from Latest of All crossed by Noble. For forcing purposes Leader is likely to be in great request, for which purpose we recommend it to follow Royal Sovereign. It forces very freely, the trusses setting well, with little if any artificial fertilisation, and its compact habit is a great point in its favour. (Raiser’s description.)

A farmer always keeps his gun handy to kill his enemies the moment they appear ; this instrument is even much more useful and valuable, and should always be kept charged with Sulphur, and at the first speck of Mildew or any Fungi and Rust it should be sprinkled and killed, just as if it were a lion in the garden. In our opinion this is the most invaluable instrument ever invented to make the garden a success. Do not spray the powder hardly sufficient to be seen, 99 out of 100 persons will use five times more than it needs.

Hitherto both could not be accomplished without pulling out the bulb, doing more or less injury to the tender roots, and other inconveniences. The new patent Glasses effectually remove all diffi- culty, and have the advantage of being both con- venient and comparatively cheap. The tube contains the bulbs with the roots, and is simply lifted up and put aside without touching the bulbs at all. The container may then be easily cleaned and filled with fresh water.

THE HIGHEST OF ALL HONOURS Ever Conferred on ENGLISH NURSERYMEN or SEEDSMEN was Awarded to H. CANNELL & SONS At the Greatest INTERNATIONAL CONTEST at CHICAGO, for the Best Productions ever in Competition, only for the large size and fine quality of our Seeds and Plants on arrival, but when compared with a thousand others sent from the most celebrated in all countries. They were afterwards sown and grown, and their produce during the season registered. The result was, ours not only carried off the above Great Medal, but Four Diplomas also ; and what is even of more value, the inscription says : “They are Large, Perfect, Great Advancements, Finest yet Attained from all sources.” It is therefore quite fair and perfectly right to say, “Cannell’s Kentish Own Grown Seeds are the most perfect in all points in the World.” The Council and Committee of our own Royal Horticultural Society have also officially awarded us the highest possible confirmation of this. It is a fact our Seeds have proved the best the World produces. Every Seed and Plant sent was taken exactly as we get up an order. It therefore proves conclusively what we grow and sell every day at a very moderate price is far superior to those puffed up by the numerous delusions and evasions put before buyers every day. H.
