CARE OF FRUIT TREES.—Are we guiltless if we always take from the tree and return to it little or nothing? Has man nothing to do, that he may receive and enjoy these luscious and health-giving fruits? Should he merely set the roots of a tree into the soil and then leave it to combat with starvation and neglect, as thousands of trees throughout New England are left to do? Ride through the country and notice the many orchards standing, sod-bound and in wet undrained soil perhaps, with all that can be grown from the soil in the way of hay and pasture taken off and not a pennysworth of fertilizer added to it for the trees. Not a dead limb cut out, to say nothing of those chafing or growing crossways, not an insect destroyed; and the poor tree, how it is trying to do its best while the owner, who has neglected every essential thing on his part for successful results, exclaims, “It don’t pay to raise fruit.” I knew a farmer who plowed his field for corn and planted it, but who never cultivated, plowed or hoed it. He had no corn. Did he deserve any? He said it did not pay to raise corn. I know another farmer who prepared his ground nicely for corn, planted and cared for it intelligently, and received upwards of a hundred bushels of shell corn per acre. He was amply paid for his care and expense. He said it paid him.—_Edward Hoyt before the Mass. Hort. Society._

MESEMBRYANTHEMUM.

The mesembryanthemum, usually called ice-plant, is one of the most effective border plants. Nothing can be prettier around a small bed than a thick edging of these sparkling rich green plants, and yet I have never seen it used in this manner except in my own garden. The plants grow larger, more robust, coarser perhaps, when used in this way, but they form an unbroken edge of great richness. Sow the seeds in the house and transplant when danger of frost is over; shade for a few days from sun and wind, and do not let the ground dry out about the roots until the plants have started into growth again; after that an occasional watering is all they require. Treated in this fashion they grow riotously and yield a wealth of beautiful, cool looking foliage for bouquets and all kinds of cut flower work, which has the additional merit of keeping fresh a long time even under unfavorable circumstances. One can pick long sprays of this pretty greenery without it being missed from the plants in the least. A low glass dish filled with ice-plant, the sprays drooping over the edges gracefully, and a few pale pink flowers peeping out between the leaves, is an exceedingly pretty center-piece for the dinner table. In putting out the plants set them about ten inches apart.

“SANITAS.”

Unfermented, CONCENTRATED and Pure

JUICE OF THE GRAPE.

THE PHYSICIAN’S AID.

Our mission is solely to supply Nature’s own pure food. It is the mission of the physician, who understands his patient’s needs, to supply the medicine. Our reason for offering this product to the public, to you, is that it is pure. There is need of such an article of grape juice. We have the testimony of hundreds of letters to prove the assertion. Nearly all the bottled juice now on the market contains an antiseptic of some description to prevent fermentation, generally salicylic acid. Why does such juice fail as a food? Simply because the antiseptic principle that preserves the juice in the bottle exerts a similar influence in the stomach, and prevents the natural action that is part of Nature’s plan for assimilating food. Our concentrated juice of the grape is absolutely free from all antiseptics, and is Nature’s best food and strength producer for weak and defective digestive organs.

Invalids will, of course, seek the advice of their physicians as to the proper time or quantity, but well people may partake freely, and know that the certainty of gain far overshadows the possibilities of excess.

THE CONSUMER’S SUPPORT.

The grape cure has been found in many cases to rapidly reorganize and reconstruct the blood current, and to surprise the tissues and excite the nervous system into health. The beverage form of grape juice is an agreeable and wholesome nutrient in a great variety of sicknesses. Its fruit acids, its blood salts and its grape sugar make it a valuable medicine. It affords a nourishing and easily managed food for dyspeptics of many kinds. We seek to supplant alcoholic and fermented drinks by something more wholesome, more satisfying and refreshing—something embodying all the best principles of ripe grapes marred by nothing that would falsely stimulate or excite, and in the new era that is dawning, the life-giving principles of the grape, in their purest condition, will enter every home as a comfort and a blessing, instead of a delusion and a snare.

Its sub-acid taste and easiness of assimilation give it a high value in fevers of every sort. Its concentration, keeping qualities and palatability give it certain advantages over the beverage form. It is agreeably administered in aerated water or hot or cold water.

Two varieties of our concentrated juice suitable for redilution with any aerated, carbonated or pure cold water are bottled under our labels—i.e., Red, Zinfandel, White, Muscatel.

Sold only in pint bottles, the contents of which are equal to ONE-HALF GALLON OF FRESH GRAPE JUICE. =Price, 65 cents per bottle.= For sale by leading druggists and grocers. Send for descriptive circular.

MARGUERITE CARNATIONS.

“My first sowing was early in February, 1892. The plants came into bloom the middle of June, and I had more or less flowers from them all through the following winter and spring. In 1893 I made two sowings, one the beginning of February, and another the end of March, to secure plants for winter flowering. About eighty of these in six-inch pots were plunged out of doors until the middle of November; then removed indoors and placed in light airy position. They have been flowering profusely ever since, and will continue doing so to the end of May.” These statements are made by John Milne in the _Journal of Horticulture_. Another writer in the same publication says:

“Those who have not yet grown these carnations have missed much. I sowed some seeds at the end of February last year in a mild heat, and the seedlings were potted when large enough, the bulk of them eventually finding their way into pots five and a half inches in diameter. Some few were grown in pots an inch less, but I noted those in the larger pots were much better every way. Small pots do not afford sufficient scope for the roots, as these are freely made, and being very fibrous they absorb a quantity of moisture. A moderately rich compost is essential, the plants requiring a fair amount of stimulative food to enable them to continue longer in flower than they do when in a starved condition. To test these carnations I planted some in the kitchen garden, but I found that those in pots flowered much the best. About ninety per cent. of these carnations come double from seed, which is a great gain, as single flowers are really of little use for decorative purposes. What I admire about them is the large number of self-colored flowers that are produced. The bulk of them are deliciously scented, and all fringed at the edges of the petals. When the weather permitted the plants were assigned a position out of doors where they could obtain all available sunlight, were given plenty of space, and well supplied with water at the roots. Directly the pots in which they were to flower were full of roots, weak liquid manure was supplied to them freely. By the early part of July they commenced to flower, and kept on unceasingly until the early part of November out of doors. Where buttonhole bouquets are in demand these Marguerite carnations afford excellent material for the making of this favorite adornment, and as the carnation is a popular flower for the purpose this new race is doubly valuable.”

A PRETTY FLOWER STAND.

Here is something you can make for yourself before another summer comes. This is a flower stand, and the simplest contrivance! Saw off an old cedar tree about two feet below the first branch, then saw it off again about two feet above the first branch. The thicker the branches on this unsightly stump the better for your purpose. The branches must next be chopped off irregularly, leaving some a yard and some half a yard in length. Bury the lower end of the stump about one foot in the ground, and on the end of each branch nail a piece of board about ten inches square to serve as a shelf. These shelves must be firmly nailed so that boxes or pots can be set upright on them. Now paint the whole thing green and you have a pretty flower stand. You will not believe it until you try it, but it is beautiful. Instead of bedding out the plants you wish for winter flowering, try the plan of keeping them on this stand out of doors during the summer, where they will get all the benefit of the sun and dew. On the approach of winter they will only need to be brought indoors, and will be in a much better condition for blooming than if they had been taken up at the risk of breaking half their roots and potted in a hurry.
