and he discovers that some of the sta-

character, the pollen is taken from these
flowers and other in • normal condition

This tendeucy once started is thee
given to the prugeny. Almost any spe-
cies of plant will in this way be capable
of producing double flowers. It is sur-
prising that with this knowledge mon

There seems to bo a peculiar prejudice
against planting strawberries in fall.
Now, for small fields and garden patches
we are strong advocates of the system,
and we practice it, says the editor of
Gardening. But be sure you plant early,
say in August or the first fortnight of
September. early enough to allow of the
plants getting firmly rooted before win-
ter seta in. And don't try to spread out
your planta to make a large patch of
thein. Plant no fewer' than three in a
hill; then you'll get a good crop of fruit
from this plantation next June.
Potted plants or plain runner of
strawberries, which? There is some
quibble about this question, too, each
system having strong advocates and
fierce opponents. Fur our part we are
satisfied with either.
S.ralliag Dahlias.
A very pleasant occupation for the
amateur grower is to endeavor to raise
new varieties of garden flowers from
seed. The dahlia especially offers in-
ducements, as they change remarkably
from seed. Meehan tells ns that it is
not necessary to nee any cross fertiliza-
tion. Several kind of dahlias are grown
together and seeds taken from these.
The seedlings are almost certain to be
of different varieties from the parent.
The early flower of the dahlia should be
sleeted. It is better to cut off some
of the petals soon after they have faded,
or otherwise, during a rainstorm, the
whole head rota The seeds can be
cleaned out in the fall and set in the
gro:.nd early in the spring. They usually

Observe two things—the strength of the

mummer Layering of the rite. •
When the vineyard is not too old and
one wishes to propagate some vines from
it by summer layering, it may be done
without taxing the vine sufficiently to in-
jure it. A good cane should be allowed
to grow along the ground until about
six feet long; then pinch off the tip,
which will soon start the laterals. These
will he upright, and when nearly a foot
high dig a trench four inches deep, lay
the rine in the bottom, first cutting off
the tendrils and leaf at the base; cover
with s few inches of soil and press firm-
ly, and in a few weeks fill up the trench
les -el with the snrfaceof the ground. If
some of the shoots seem to take the lead
too much, it will be we'll to give them a
pinch and throw more of the force into
the others. By fall these will be well
rooted. and each shoot will have suffi-
cient roots to pas for a good vine, ac-
cording to Rural New Yorker, authority

Se—edy Against Pleat tart.
The Rnral New Yorker states that a
correspondent paints portions of his plum
trees on which the plum knot appears
with coal oil and that this eventually
stops the growth of the swelling known
as "the knot." By taking it in time he
says that the disease does not spread sad
that the knots eventnally peel off, leav-
ing only a scar to mark the spot. Mee-
han, commenting on the foregoing, says:
As this disesee is caused by a minute
fungus, there can he no doubt of the are
cnracy of this observation. Oils of all
kinds are well known to be fatal to all
fnugons organisms. it is more than
likely that if the plum trees were to get
a painting of pure linseed oil or any
other vegetable oil once a year they
would continue at all times healthy.

humanity is the indulgence is speculations
on what we would do if we had been there.
