THE CULTURE OF FLOWERS.
fST W oordially Invito til intonated in the
rarioiu branch ol horticulture to send questions
upon any subject on which information may be
desired, alio, to report new Tarietiei, or, in fact,

The month of September is generally a pretty
busy one fn the flower garden. All decaying
flower stems should bo cut back and preparation!
made for seeding hardy annuali and perennial,
which hod beet be done during September with
the latter and early in November with the former.
Any of our reader who Intend taking up plant
for winter blooming should preire for it now.
QWm all old pot a thorough washing inside and
outside, and if new pot are to be used, soak tliuw
in wator for 48 hours. Collect all the broken pot,
mall pebble, etc., (charcoal is really the best), to
be used for drainage at bottom of pots, and prepare
COMPOBT FOR F0TT1HO
by mixing rotted od from a loamy pasture and
rotted refuse hops (a year old) from a browory in
the proportion of two of soda to one of hops, a
spoonful of powdered eliurcoal mixed in each pot,
will bo found to do wonders. If refuu hops can
not be obtained thoroughly rotted cow manure
will do noarly as well which can bo mixed with
black loam and a imall ouuntily or sharp gritty
sand, After ull preparations are modo commence
potting early In Octubor.
