TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Anemone and Ranunculus Tubers (Amateur).—You can at any time now lift either of the above. Their foliage is now pretty well dried, and that whien is not quite dry will not matter much it dealt with in the following manner:— Lift the tubers with the fonage attached, and carefully place them in a cool, dry shed or cellar, so that they may dry off slowly. If this is done, all the sap still in the foliage will descend to the tubers. The foliage when dry can at any time be cut off, up till the planting season next autumn. The positions occupied by those can as yet be easily tilled with portulaca, petunias, phlox drurhmoncHa, zinnias cockscombs, or other late- flowering autumn annuals.
