Death Of Dr. Parry

Dr. Charles C Parry, for many years one of the most indefatigable botanical explorers of the west, died at his home in Davenport, Iowa, February 20th, from pneumonia following influenza. Dr. Parry was born in England in 1823. His first explorations were made in 1849, as one of David Dale Owen's survey of Wisconsin. The next year he joined the Mexican boundary survey, and from that time until his death his labors in exploration have been unceasing. He discovered hundreds of new species, and his name is indelibly associated with the botanical names of many plants.

Destroying Weeds In The Lawn

I have tried several methods of clearing our lawn of dandelion and dock, and find that nothing is so effectual in totally destroying them as a small quantity of turpentine poured upon the plants. I had dug these weeds out quite clean, but they came up again stronger than before. I then experimented by applying carbolic acid, kerosene and turpentine. Kerosene had but little effect upon them, while the acid and the turpentine destroyed them outright. As turpentine is much the cheaper of the two, it was given the preference, and I am now using it upon all weeds that are hard to kill as soon as they are discovered, and am well pleased with the result. A teaspoonful of turpentine is sufficient to destroy almost any weed. - John F. Rupp, Shiremanstown, Pa.
