Hardy azaleas are very handsome subjects , and worthy of very extensive cultivation The most suitable soil for them is a sandy peat , but any good soil into which a fair pro- portion of leaf mould and sand has been worked will grow them well . On a stiff and light loam and leaf - mould to a depth of about wet soil it is best to make up a bed of good 18in . The usual methods of propagation are by layers and cuttings . The layers should be notched and pegged down in the soil in the same way as carnations are treated , but much stronger pegs will be required to keep the layers in position . The layers must not be re- moved from the parent plant until the second FEAT . Cuttings of azaleas may be taken at the end which should be taken off with a heel and neatly trimmed .

He considered the best six culinary apples and the country is not too densely populated were Bramley's Seedling , Newton Wonder , to offer any difficulties for camping and Lane's Prince Albert , Lord Derby , Grenadier manoeuvring on a large scale . and Early Victoria .. The two with which they had the greatest difficulty were Lane's Prince Albert and Grenadier , but magnificent results were obtained by growing Lane's Prince Albert and Lord Derby together ; and Grenadier was greatly helped by Early Vic- toria . The manoeuvres ground has been divided up into six areas , bounded on the north by Presthope and Bridgnorth , on the west , by the Welsh border towns of Presteign , King- ton , and Whitney , on the south by Mon- mouth and Gloucester , and on the east by Tewkesbury , Evesham , and Pershore . The troops will be disposed as follows , working from north to south . Area 1 will be occupied by the Third - and Fourth Divisions of the Southern and Eastern commands of the regu- lar army , consisting of six infantry brigades . Areas II . to : V. will be given up to Terri torial Units , comprising the Notts and Derby Mounted Brigade , the Cheshire Brigade , the R.F.A .. the Welsh Border Infantry Bri- gade , the Welsh Border Mounted Brigade , and the Western Signal Companies . In Area VI . will be the First and Second Divisions of the Aldershot command , consisting of five brigades of infantry . The regulars of the Southern command will have their brigade and divisional train- ing on Salisbury Plain during August and the early part of September , moving up into the monoeuvre area for divisional and com- mand exercises on September 10th Those of the Eastern command will carry out the whole of their training in the , manoeuvre area from August 24th to September 12th . The troops of the Aldershot command will do their early training in the neighbourhood of Aldershot , and will arrive in the manoeuvre area for divisional and command exercises early in September . The Territorial Units will all move into the manoeuvre area for brigade and divisional training some time before the manoeuvres begin . The object , of course , of allotting so many troops to each area of the manoeuvre ground is that they may thus be able to carry out this final train . ing independently of each other , so that all will be ready when the time comes for movements on a wider scale . TRAINING THE ARMY , To the ordinary public the manoeuvres are only a spectacle . They appreciate very little the amount of routine and training which has to be gone through before the units of the army are fit to take part in the highly complex evolutions of the field cam- paign . In point of fact , the whole of the soldier's training is working up to manoeu- vres . They are , as it were , the culminating point in the evolution of the complete sol- dier In the winter at home it is not possible to move troops about in the field , and the soldier's routine , therefore , during the winter months chiefly consists of indivi- dual training . With the summer months comes the real preparation for manoeuvres , beginning with brigade training , and con- tinuing with divisional and command ex- ercises By these steps the troops are gradu- ally " turned up " to fighting trim , and when the manoeuvres commence each unit should be perfect , both in brigade and battalion drill . The manoeuvres also are valuable in the training which they afford to the Army Staff and to divisional commanders Fruit Growing . IMPORTANCE OF CROSS POLLINATION . EXPERT AT HEREFORD . ' An informative and valuable lecture on the subject of prime importance to fruit - growers He Bramley's Seedling and Newton Wonder were of mutual benefit when planted together . Dealing with dessert apples , Mr. Berry stated that Cox's Orange Pippin was the best dessert variety , but was very sterile . and most of the hybrids of the Cox's were also very sterile . There was little doubt that Worcester Pearmain was a mate for Cox's Orange , and Beauty of Bath should also be intermixed . Cox's Orange paid remarkably well , and he knew one grower who made fd . with Worcester Pearmain . He was inclined to think that for Anne Elizabeth Warner's King was an ideal mate . Sir John Thorold , the chairman of the Association since its formation , said at the annual meeting that he thought the members would consider the report satisfactory . It must be remembered , however , that the asso- ciation were largely dependent upon the foreign ports being open to Lincoln sheep , and that if for any reason the ports were closed the association would not be in the same happy position another year . FERTILISERS AND QUALITY OF BARLEY . The manner in which potash and phosphate fertilisers affect the quality of malting barley has recently been investigated in Germany . It was found that the application of a phosphatic manure enabled the plant to utilise more freely both potash and nitrogen . There was shown to be a real need for potash when medium and heavy dressings of phos- phate were given . In every case manuring with potash and phosphate produced an in- creased grass yield , while the albuminoid . contents in the grain were diminished . Apart from the yield , the dry matter contained in the grain increased almost regularly with in- creased applications of potash and phos- phates . Whether this was due to a higher degree of maturity of the better nourished barley or to a larger deposit of potash and phosphates in the grain , was not determinated . PLUMS , PEARS , AND CHERRIES . In most cases there was an improvement in The lecturer also dealt with plums , pears , weight , conformity to type , and proportion and cherries . The greatest difficulty in grow of chaff . Increase in weight was generally ing plums , he said , was with Early Rivers , accompanied by greater conformity to type , for no matter how favourable conditions were but by a decrease in the weight of chaff . it would not set more than one per cent . of Manuring with potash and phosphates re- its own fruit with its own pollen ; but in sulted in a noticeable , if not pronounced , im- many instances it set well , and perhaps the provement in the germinating power . best mate for it was Prince of Wales . Diffi- The barley had almost always a canary culty was also encountered with Grand Duke , yellow colour . Generally , the results showed Diamond , and Greengage . The greatest that potash phosphatic manuring produced a problem of all was in regard to the common general improvement in the quality of the Greengage . He had spent a month in visit- barley . ing the orchards of Cambridgeshire and The following conclusions were arrived at Huntingdonshire , where the Greengages had with regard to the manuring of barley for failed , and came to the conclusion that the malting purposes .

Solomon's seal is a pretty and elegant hardy plant which flowers this month and in June , shaded spot . The flowers are creamy - white tipped with green , and are borne two or three together on slender pendent stems from the axils of the leaves . For ordinary garden pur- poses the roots do not require to be lifted and transplanted annually - indeed , they may be left undisturbed in the same spot for years if treated to a yearly top - dressing of rich , old , partially rotted dung when the leaves die down . Poinsettia planta should now be made to produce cuttings for propagation and forming superior flowering dwarf plants . Any old plants of good form may , however , be shifted and grown on into larger specimens . Though it is usual to grow all in a warm , moist heat , any placed in greenhouse in June will thrive and bear greener foliage than those subject to beat . " One of the most popular deciduous flower ing shrubs is the lilac , which was introduced from Persia over 800 years ago . But what gardeners know as Persian lilac has much emaller lanceolate leaves and light purple flowers , and is a dwarfer plant , but has abun dant bioom , which sometimes entirely covers the plants . Lilacs force remarkably well , and may be had in flower at Christmas , Old lilacs having flower buds can be dug up , divested of unnecessary shoots , and forced into bloom perfectly in mid - winter in dark , warm place . They are usually propa- gated from suckers . of Forming excess suckers is their bane , and these must be fre- quently removed . Lilaes may very satisfac torily be grafted upon ash tree stocks or privet . any All dead parts must be removed from chry santhemums of the summer blooming type , and the ground around them be broken up .

VEGETABLES AND FRUIT.1 A It is a recognised fact that while turnips and swedes contain a large amount of water , water in them does not contribute in the slightest degree to the feeding quality of the roots . A most important fact was overlooked when it was supposed that the value of the crop depended on the total weight of produce per acre , and not on the net amount of nutri- tive materials the roots contained .

The tests showed , that considerable differences occur in sugar content , etc. To judge by gross weight , one sample compared with another looked to be very good , but when the weight of sugar was taken into account there was a difference of over 6cwt . per acre in favour of the latter . The point is emphasised when a money value is put on the sugar content . Mr. Robb added that the best roots have been kept for seeding . Their progeny will be subjected to a similar process of selection , and in that way it is hoped , as in the case of sugar beet , gradually to raise the feeding value of the turnip crop .
