After a Severe Attack of ..1 Whooping Cough. "She was nothing but Skin and Bone and we could not get her to eat." NELLIE STOWE. When your child loses its appetite and begins to show dgns of declining health, we suggest that you give it a little Scott's Emulsion and note tue effect. Here is a beautiful little girl, who had a. severe at- tack of whooping cough, and her parent writes as follows — "8, Providence Terrace, Harrogate, "July 20th, 1898. "Gentlemen, I am very pleased to tell you that Scott's Emulsion has been of great benefit to my little girl after a severe attack of whooping cough. She was nothing but skin and bone, and we could not get her to eat, but after taking a few bottles of Scott's Emulsion she was not like the same child. I have recommended it to several for chil- dren, and in all cases it has done good. It makes them ea. and I believe it is a capital remedy. I can recommend anybody with a delicate child to try it. Yours truly, "(Signed) E. T. STOWE." You cannot get away from the benefits children derive from taking Scott's Emul- sion. The many letters which we receive daily are all written in the most emphatic j language, and the ailments for which I Scott's Emulsion is taken are so varied as to show that this remedy has a wonderful range of usefulness. Children that show indications of wasting and emaciation quickly recover their appetite, gain flesh and strength, and are restored to perfect health. Scott's Emulsion comprises the best Nor- way cod-liver oil, combined with liypophcs- phites and glycerihe. It is perfec tly pala- I table, and is an aid to digestion. Scott's Emulsion does more than anything else to ensure a healthy growth of children. It is a specific for coughs, colds, and bronchitis, and, by being readily absorbed into the blood, it gives the system resistive power and vitality. Let anybody who has a deli- cate child try the genuine Scott's Emulsion, J and we venture to say the merit of this pre- I pafation will quickly manifest itself. For sale by all chemists. You may obtain a sample of Scott's Em- ulsion by sending threepence to cover post- age to Scott and Bowne, Limited, Manufac- turing Chemists, 95, Great Saffron Hill, London, E.C., and mentioning this paper.

GARDENING NOTES. Readers of this paper, interested in the subject. can have their doubts, difficulties, and queries answered free of charge, by writing direct to the address given at the end of the article.—EDITOR. BEDDIXG OUT PLANTS." Of all the summer bedding plants, perhaps the most useful are the Tufted Pansies or Viol. is. The fancy and show varieties are hardly so suitable for the garden as the Tufted, and these are coming more largely into use every year. Any Gi-uraary garden soil will suit them, so long as ii is a little shaded and sheltered, as these plants are not seen at their best when fully exposed. Tufted Pansies love nothing better than a moist border, where they are not exposed to the full rays of a hot summer's sun. The fine double Stocks, also the Brompton and Ten-Week, although old and fam liar flowers, are delightful plants for bed- ding out. A pleasing contrast is afforded by a crimson kind for the centre and white outside. Should only one colour be preferred the amateur could not do better than have a bed of White Avalanche Stock. The rock upon which so many amateurs come to grief in the culture of Stocks is that of watering. Great care must be taken to keep the soil in which Stocks are growing always moist, as if this is not done the plants receive a check, their growth becomes stunted and they bloom prema- turely. In damp soils Musk and Mimulus are exceedingly useful plants, as they make good carpeting subjects and are readily increased. The Queen's Prize Mimulus is a magnificent strain, suitable alike for the conservatory or border. Ageratum Mexicanum or Mexican floss-flower, has flowers of a lovely shade of blue, and is a dwarf compact plant that will come in very handy. A pleasing variation to the ordinary bedding is made by a 'ew plants of Heliotrope, better known perhaps as Cherry-pie." The quilted Blanket-flower (Gaillardia Picta) is a tine showy plant, while a variety called Aurora Borealis, is most handsomely marked with rings of white, yellow, and red. For a foliage plart the Croton-leaved Beet is a decided acquisition to the flower garden, the beautifully coloured crimson-bronze leaves having a most elegant appearance. For the ribbon border this plant is invaluable. Balsams, although usually grown as pot plants, make effective bedders if planted out and allowed to grow out laterally. Carters' Challenger Prize Balsams are unsurpassed for size, colour, and form. Other very useful foliage plants are the Castor-oil plant, the Two-spiked Acacia, Giant Tobacco, Wigandia Solanums, Acanthus and the Variegated or Japanese Maize. WORK IN THE FRUIT GARDEN. Thoroughly hoe and clean Strawberry planta- tions, and afterwards well mulch with long manure. Should the soil be infested with slugs, apply a dressing of soot and lime previous to mulching. House sewage will make an excellent dressing for porous soils, indeed during dry weather it will do a considerable amount of good everywhere. The strawy litter used in mulching Strawberries will be washed clean by the time the crop of fruit is ripe. so there need not be any fear of taint arising. This frnit needs a deal of moisture, and the moisture should be made the vehicle for conveying some necessary stimulant to the roots. Prune and trim Figs on walls. Crowded growth is one of the causes of unripe wood, and unripe wood is too often the cause of the crop failing. No matter what the size of the foliage may be, always leave space for training in the young wood proportionate to the size of the leaves. This simply means bringing common sense to bear upon disbudding and thinning. The old adage about two blades of grass growing where only one grew before must not be applied to the le:lves of fruit-trees. One leaf well-developed, so far as the bud at its base is concerned, is better than two or more, therefore where the buds appear crowded now, thin them out. All fruit-trees graftedon what are known as dwarnng. stocks, especially Quince or Pear, should receive a good watering, and 4he surface mulched as far-aa the roots extend, with manure. This is the best treat- ment possible. Without mulching, watering loses a deal of itseffect, because the moisture soon evaporates. The work of disbudding Apricots and Peaches should be began by removing the shoots growing out of the front of the tree, and which are usually turned forerights or breast-wood." These shoots are quite use- less to lay in, and should be gradually removed. Should insects be present, dust with tobacco powder, and repeat if required. Fruit trees are frequently grown in a small way in pots. Grapes, Figs, Cherries, Plums, and Peaches, may be grown by amateurs with success in one or two small houses. Wherever possible, keepnthe stone-fruits by themselves, but Grapes and Figs will do very well together. 0 THE SC.UILET KCNNER BKAX. This is a most useful plant, one of the best of vegetables, and yet when in bloom beautiful enough for the flower garden. Runner Beans are very tender, and must be kept safe from frost. They may be sown in April or May, but plants from the early sowings are fre q'ently cut down by the frost, and re-sowing becomes necessary. To have Runner Beans crisp and tender good culture must be resorted to, and the following method of cultivation answers admirably: Dig a trench about 12 inches deep and the same in width. Place a layer of manure about 4 inches deep along the bottom, fork this over and then place a thin layer of leaf-mould and sand. Sow on top of this, and over the seeds sprinkle a little more of this sandy mixture, and finish by covering to a depth of 2 inches with the soil thrown out of the trench. This soil before putting it over the seed must be broken very fine with the spade. The sandy soil next the seed will prevent it from decaying-i.e., if much rain should come or if the soil be heavy, and although strong plants will not be had in such light material, the roots will quickly find their way down to the manure at the bottom. Being in a shallow trench at first the young plants will be sheltered, and when dry, hot weather sets in, either level the soil in the trench or fill it up to the level with manure, this will prevent the rcots being injured by drought. This is an important point in the cultivation of Runner Beans, and it is well te give it attention previous to sowing. It is useless to root in shallow, poor soils, the trench system, described above, meets every want. All who have grown Runner Beans know the liability of the young pods to fall off prematurely when they begin to form at first. A good deal of early blossom falls without a pod being formed, but rich soil and plenty of moisture at the roots will reduce this evil to a very great extent. Whenever Beans are observed to be dropping their pods, they should, wherever practicable, receive a heavy soaking with liquid-manure. When the plants are about G inches high they should be staked. Tall pea-sticks may be used, and if they are good sticks they are to be preferred to the single rods or stakes generally employed. When the plants are in full bearing, a good watering now and again will be essential in very hot weather, and if this be supplemented by a soaking or two of liquid-manure the beneficial results will soon be apparent. There are now in culti- vation several improved forms of Runner Beans introduced of late years, and some of the best are the Jubilee Runner (pods some- times 20 inches long), Elephant Runner and Holborn Masterpiece, the latter being one of the earliest and linest-flavoi;red varieties in existence.

EARLY FRENCH BEANS. The majority of people like to have this vegetable as early in the season as possible, and where there is i. oom under glass, either in pots or in heated pits, this is not at all a difficult matter. French Beans need a certain amount of warmta in the soil, and failing this, providing evjn the seed germinates, the plants will not grow up healthy. There is nothing gained by sowing in the open air too early. For those who are without the aid of glass about the best method of raising an early crop, is to make up a slight hotbed in the open about 2 feet or 2 feet 6 inches in thickness, and on this place some 8 or 10 inches of soil- common garden soil will do--with the addition of a little leaf-mould or thoroughly rotten manure. The seed must be sown thinly in drills 12 inches asunder, and when the young plants make their appearance thin them to about 3 or 4 inches apart in the rows. It will be as well to provide a slight protection from frost, and about the easiest and quickest way to do this is to insert a few stakes here and there in the bed. These stakes should stand out about 10 or 1 'i inches above the surface of the bed, and over them throw a piece of thick canvas, garden mats, or even some old carpet, whenever it is likely to be frosty. Water will be required in dry eather, as plants on a raised bed of this kind get a great deal dryer than they do on level ground. When the plants are fruiting freely, an application of weak liquid manure now and again will be of considerable benefit. French Beans sown in the manner described above about the middle of April, and properly attended to, will come into bearing fully a month earlier than when sown on the level in the open ground. One of the very best varieties for this purpose is White Advancer. It is dwarf, an immense cropper, and is very quick in coming into bearing. Another good variety is'' Longsword," this is also a very useful garden kind. For sowing in the open border the first week in May is quite early enough. SINGLE DAHLIAS JTROM SEED. For all ordinary garden purposes and for the provision of cut flowers, seedling Dahlias are quite as useful as the named kinds, and they are so os.sily raised that their use saves a con- I siderable amount of labour and trouble. All that is necessary is to get seed from a good reliable strain of flowers. By sowing the seed early in the spring, seedlings may be had in bloor"a quite as early as plants raised from cuttings; and the earlier seed is sown. the better and stronger will the plants be. Unless the amateur is able to command a little more heat than is afforded by the ordinary green- house. seed should not b,'1 sown enriier than the middle of March; but even those who are only in possession of a cold frame may raise their own seedling Dahlias, if they are content to wait for two or three weeks longer for their fiov* ers. Under the latter conditions cultivators should not sow the seed until the middle of April, and furthermore should keep the young plants under glass until the middle of June. It should be on encouraging fact to those whose appliances for raising seed are limited, that self-sown plants flower late in the season. Do not sow the seed too thickly, or the plants get so crowded that they have to be put into single pots before they have made sufficient roots, therefore they require very careful treatment to keep them alive on the contrary, by sowing thinly, so that plants stand 1- inch apart each way, they may remain in the seed-pan at least a fortnight longer; this will enable them to make a good number of roots, and the plants will be in a far better condition to look after them- selves, and stand a little rough treatment. As soon as the second pair of leaves are formed shift the seedlings into 4-inch pots, using fairly rich soil. If common garden mould must be used, rub a little rotten manure through a coarse sieve, and mix with it, but the best compost is formed of three parts loam and one of manure. If the garden soil is poor, dig in some manure some time before planting. Do not plant single Dahlias too close together, because if they get at all crowded, the branches grow upwards, and then they become too tall, They are best when planted about 3 feet apart each way. When first planted out, water them three times a week for the first fortnight; this will induce them to lay hold of the soil! To extend the time of flowering, regularly remove all faded blooms; this will prevent seeds forming. I JAMES CARTER & Co., High Holborn, Queen's Seedsmen, I London, W.C.
