He gave a very practical illustrated address, dealing with the cultivation of flowers and arangement of the Home Garden. Mr. Baldwin urged gardeners to make a plan of their gardens before proceeding to do the actual work as by this method noth- ing is left out that should be put in the garden. He also urged rotation - of garden crops, just as farm crops are rotated. The garden may be divided into four sections, according to the nature of the garden products. Section 1, for tap roots, such as carrots, parsnips, beets, onions, etc. Section 2, for legumes or vege- tables that grow up in the air, such as peas, beans, spinach, chard, let- tuce, ete. Section 8, for tubers, such as po- tatoes and artichokes. . Section 4, for perennials, such as asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb, etc. The reason for rotation of garden crops is to assist in avoiding the garden pests which infest sections where a crop is grown continuously. Mr. Baldwin gave the names of in- gredients for a preparation to be used in watering house plants. This pre- paration consists of equal parts of nitrate of soda, air slacked lime, powdered sulphur and powdered charcoal. Two teaspoonfuls of this mixture are to be put in a quart of soft water, and the plants watered in the ordinary manner. tsi KY (Ypres, TAKES CHARGE NEAR PETERBORO Rev. A. E.
