Flower Advice For Autumn Planting And Winter Care
The article promotes October as ideal for planting bulbs and stocking potting soil for winter or spring use. It advises pre mid October completion, protecting fall bloomers like dahlias with new paper on cold nights, and notes a large rose bush near Dr E B Matthany’s residence in Mobile planted in 1813. It also covers potting plant placement, cooling, establishment, watering, and avoiding indoor placement until frost danger ends.

Oddities And Odd Facts From A Vast Array
A bizarre collection of brief items includes a 114 inch peach weighing 13.4 ounces from Missouri, a Las Vegas style string of oddities, a Brussels pavement of india rubber and stones, and a Kansas City woman who ate opium and sang on a rooftop. James Russell of Detroit rejoices at each birth of a daughter, a Meadville attorney comments on fees tied to a bank note, and a Cincinnati girl jokes about prizes for memory and the life of her. A series of fragmented quips, gags, and quotes closes the miscellany.
