PLANTS THAT STAND WIND.
(To the Editor.) Sib.—Your Gardening Editor has raised my hopes with regard to raising annuals in pots and I have taken means to ; have his remarks republished locally. I jiow want to ask him how to'.manage our high winds. Tift* don't hurt Verbenas, Geraniums or Silene Peuduia, Can you furnish us with a ligt of a few more plants that do not mind a hurricane? Daffodil, Garganea—these occur. I have'.had CoiisoMus-Major blow clean to ribbons. Well,- of course I was an ass to ; giwy,- it, but then tk real use of liints ' .from old just to prevent beginers • from (Joing thepe very foolish" things, and being discouraged. " Probably sonio day we shall have shelter here, but many settlers, and in fact most, have just a quarter-acre section round the house, and adequate protection is impossible, because if you put say Piim Maritiana in front .of your house, it protects nothing but the soil under it; Walk -twenty yards back, and the wind comes round the side as bad as .if you had no trees. - -Then if you plant ti'qo.s all round your section there is np room for anytliing else. lam, &c., . : Pahiatua, August 4.
