BUNCH OP UNCLE JOHN CARNATIONS AND ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS SENT TO THE FUNERAL OP THE LATE MYRON A HUNT BY MR PRED, DORNER, LAPAYETTE, IND. if subjected to the summer pruning that Mr. Meehan recommends. If the trees are set inside the lot line, as happens in many towns, the hackberry and the tbornless honey locust may be added to the list. The hackberry is one of our prettiest native species, and the locust—I do not know whether the thorn- less trees constitute a separate species or not—casts the most beautiful shadow of any tree that grows. C. A. Keffer. Columbia, Mo., Aoril 4,1894. Philodendrons. Ed. Am. Florist: Kindly give me ad- vice as to proper treatment of the philo- dendron—heat, water, etc., and method of propagation. Can they be grown from the long runner-like roots that grow from base of petiole? Barnes. Philodendrons are stove arads, and luxuriate in a moist heat of 70 to 75 de- grees. They require shading from direct sunshine at all seasons, though the well known P. pertusum will endure partial exposure, and is frequently used for out- door decoration in tbe summer. An abundance of water is needed for these plants, and the soil should be a loose compost of equal proportions of loam and peat, to which may be added some sand and chopped sphagnum moss —thj pots being also well drained. Propagation cannot be effected from sections of the roots, but the stems may be cut into short lengths (to include at least one joint) and partially buried in a mixture of chopped moss and sand, or in cocoa fibre, and if placed in good bottom heat will soon start into growth. W. H. T. Counting Lily Blooms on the Plants. It is said that the Yankee way of answering a question is to ask another. Regarding the above subject on which an article appeared in the Florist two weeks ago I should like to inquire whether the Easter lily bud is any more of a flower
