FLOWtR TALK BY A FLOWER MAN Mr. Gilpin, of the Queen City House,. Gives Some Timely Advice to Flower Growers. The question "What flowers will grow in the shade?', ii put to me every spring by umoy of our cit ' people, whose little patohes which they wish to devote to flowers is so walled up hy neighbor iu the direct Unlit of onr greenhouse benches, and placing It under the bench. If the temperature is high, Bay seventy degrees, in forty eight hours, the sickly signs, showing want ing houses, that the direct rtys of the of light, will be anparentto an ex per sun uever touch it. But few plauts d- fenced eye, in a week its conditl.m velop their flowers there, and none will , would be snch as to Indicate sickness to UNDERTAKING A SPECIALTY My undertaker H. 13.

Fuchsias Paneiea, ForKt-n)P-nots, Violots, Lobeiiaa, Lilly of the villey, Hollyhocks, Phloxs, and other burb:u'eoiis plants whose native habit is a shady woor, will do be-t. but evtm these languish if denied all diiect sunlight. The best effect in Buch it nations is produced by ornamental leaved plants, the bounty of which is not dependent . upon their flowers. Among these may be rAiikcd the gold anJ silver varigated lesved Geranuima, Begonias, Caladiums, Coleuses, eto, whioh if planted so as to brim the var ious shades on contrast, produce a pie-using elfect, wlii-h continues dur ing the entire summer months, and is lint surpassed by any display of flowers The cultivators of flowers In rooms should understand the necessity of sun light to plants tlitt are to flower, and ondeavor to get those as close as possi ble to a window having an eastern or southern aspect. Tho higher tbe tem perature the more plants Buffer - from want of light. Many plants would re main semi- formant, in a temperature of forty degrees, in a cellar for example away from direct Banlight for montliB without material injury, while If the cellar contained a furhacf, keepin; a temperature of 71) degroes, they would nil die. Such oultl particularly be the raise with plants of a half hardy nature, such as monthly rosea, carnations, fuchsias, gernuiumB, etc. In our green house culture of flowers, direct snn liiilit is in all important consideration, mill .i spell of sunless weather in mid winter is nfton a loss to us of ninny dollars by pi evening the development of flowers. I lenre, we use every means at command to dispose the plants to so- tire tlie greatest nniount of light. The debilitating effort of want of direct sunlight on plants is well illustracd by taking a vigorous plant in full foli iiO and flower that lias been growing WM 1 n IF THEY ARE WEAK You are in constant danger of Pneu monia or Consumption which can be prevented by FOLEY'S HONEY AMD TAR if taken in time. IF THEY ARE INFLAMED-You already have the first symp toms of lung trouble that may prove fatal and you should not delay taking FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR. It cures all inflammatory con ditions of the respiratory organs. IF THEY ARE OBSTRUCTED It is dangerous to use harsh expectorants which strain and weaken the lungs. FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR soothes and strengthens and enables the tubes to be naturally cleared. FOLEV'S HOHEV AND TAR i gives the greatest comfort and relief in advanced stages of lung trouble i and never fails to cure incipient Consumption. Contains no opiates. For Coughs, Colds, Croup, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, Pneumonia and Grippe. It stops the Cough and prevents Pneumonia. See That You Get FOLEY'S Honey and Tap A POLICEMAN'S TESTIMONY J. N.

In this re peet there iesoms analogy be tween plant ami animal life, and it teaches us the importance of light for our own healthy development Cer tain it is that greenhouse and garden operatives will compare favorably with any other class of workmen so far as health is concerned, and I doubt if It would be easy to dud the same num ber of workmen employed out of tb sunlight, whoooukl show such health as these sun browned boys of ours.
