CALENDAR OF GARDEN OPERATIONS—JULY 24th.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Turkey Rhubarb — H.G.P. — Very little is known concerning thy origin ot tne true medicinal rhubarb, or how it is dried, etc. There seems little doubt holes are made in the roots, perhaps to accelerate the drying, and in order to suspend the pieces In drying, a practice you must follow. As your samples treated last season turned to powder, the inference is they were infested b7 a small be etle—a sinondendrum, described vi Klrby and Spenee's Entomology. Dwarf French Beans.—E.G.—If sown during the month, force freely into early podding if they can be placed and maintained constantly in a heat of CO degrees, increasing as the season advances to 75 degrees. The seeds may be sown four in each 00 sized pot for transference to a 24 size when the seedlings are enough, or in boxes. Overcrowding is objectionable. The plants must have a moist atmosphere, as they are subject to red spider, and must not be exposed to cold draughts.
