How to take Care of Bulbs.

As soon as their beauty of flower is over, we always cut off the flower-stems just below the lowest flower, and for this reason :—the hyacinth and tulip both seed freely ; if the bulb is forming seed, its strength is wasted in a great meacure by that process; whereas, if the flower-stem is cut off, the bull has nothing to do but to prepare itself with vigor for blossoming in the ensuing year. We pay great at- tention to the protection of the leaves of both hyacinths and tulips, and never allow them to be intertered with until] nature indicates, by the decay of their points, that the bulb is preparing for rest. We then follow a course with both hyacinths aod tulips which we believe may do not ; that is, we take them up before the leaves are quite decayed, and for this reason— we believe that both of them after the bulbs have attained this period of growth, are only weakened by remaining in the ground, because the offsets are living up- on the parent bulb, and consequentiy, weakening it for the flower of the follow. ing year. If a cultivator wishes tor stock, he should let his bulbs remain until the leaves are quite decayed. If he wants his bulbs to flower in beauty ugaiv, he should follow the practice above men.ioned.

When taken up, the bulbs should be removed to a shed sheltered from the sun, but free to the air, and any earth adher- ing to the fibres or roots should remaio for some little time; after two or three days they should be looked after, and the loose earth shaken from them; and, as the leaves decay, they should be occasionally removed. We have generally placed our bulbs at first on the ground, ia the tvol- shed, and, as they got dry, remove them toan viry shelf. When the leaves are nearly decayed, we place them in very shallow baskets, and allow as much air us practicable to be between each root to harden them, turning them every two or three days. By this treatment, and rubb- ing off any portion of mold attached to the bottom and sides, they are in a fit state to be placed for the summer in a dry room ; and, by a little occasional attention, the rough and outside coat will, by a gentle side-pressure of the thumb, be ef- fectually removed, and exhibits the ap- pearance of the bulb clean, smooth, and io good condition.

The latter operation is best performed in the end cf August, and at that time remove the remains of such parts of the root of the former year as may not have dropped off previously to thistime. Itis hardly necessary to state that any bulb in an unsound state, either from appearance of decay, or from having been injured in taking up, should not be put with those intended for future planting.— The Garden:

The Rose Gardens of Franee.

The rose gardens of France are cele- brated: Acres of roses bloom io them for the perfumer. Heliotrope, mignonette and other floral plants are found side by side with them in dense masses. The air is almost heavy with almost sickening fra- grance, and for miles around the breezes bear the sweet tidings that they “ have flown over the gardens of Gaul in their bloom.”

But who has heard of an English lavender field? Very few certainly in this country. Fewer still have seen one. Yet within thirty miles of London these lavendar fields have become qnite an ex- tensive and recognized industry, and there is apuually produced in England alone, sufficient oil trom the plant to manufuc- ture 30,000 gallons of spirits of lavender, besides a large quantity, the total of which is unknown, to be used in the pro. duction of other perfumes with more pre- tentious names.

This plant is at the best between three years of age and seven. The harvest time is the first week in August. The flowers are then cut and taken to the distillery, tollowed by an innumerable number of bees, which insects are especially fond of them. Here the essential oil is pressed out and is ready to be mixed with the proper ingredients to make lavender water.

Wheu climbing roses fall to ruiv, which is often the case, the remedy is to cut away all but three or four of the strongest shoots, and permit none but these to grow the first season. Give the plant plenty of mapure—liquid manure—manure of al- most any kind or description. By this means you cause your climbing roses to grow to almost any extent desired.

(CAPSICUM)

ORO

The Greatest Modical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era,

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoRrovUs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the {nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly teated

|

and well know the effect of Capsicum; and |

it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and = want acertain cure, ask your druggist for JR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yoar own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient psartetes of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CApsI- ouM Porovus PLASTER, and take no other; or, on ee of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
