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.

Gentlemen:—\ beg to inform you that I have
tried your Vaporizing and Fumigating Insecticide
for Thrip, Mealy Bug, Red Spider and Black
Aphis on Chrysanthemums; and in every case
ONE DOSE was entirely effectual in destroying every
trace of them. It burns (vaporizes) cleanly, leav-
ing no gummy substance in the pan; it also /eaves
no odor in the house after vaporizing. 1 consider
it thecleanest and most effectual vaporiziug Insect-
icide I have ever used, and have great pleasure in
testifying to its merits. Please send me another

Sirs—I find by careful tests that your vaporiz-
ing and fumigating insecticide is a sure antidote
for insect pests, including the dread mealy bug,
and can fully endorse this article as filling a want
long felt among cultivators for a clean, practically
odorless, fumigating agent that is also safe.
Yours very truly, ESVORORPET.

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.
Bug Death is a non-poisonous article that effect-

It is sure death to the Potato, Squash and
Cucumber Bugs, Currant and Tomato Worms, and
many other plant-eating pests.
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

hand will greatly benefit, even make the p'ant

Use Bug Death liberally on rose bushes, house

It is the best powder on the market for hen lice.
It is perfectly safe to handle. Will not injure
stock or animals in the least. Must be kept per-
tectly dry, so it will not clog if used in the shaker.
The expertence of those who have used Bug

| 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.

ANANANANANAN
-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
in the evening

It is unnecessary to say much
about these lovely, fragrant flow-
ers, their universal favoritism be-
ing well established. The seed
should be sown as early as the
ground can be worked in the
spring, to enable the vines to geta
warm weather comes. ~ Prepare:
the ground by thoroughly working
ina large quantity of well-rotted
deep; in this sow the seed and
cover 2 inches deep. 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.

THE GEO. A. WEAVER CO.’S COLLECTION
= 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.
