Wormy Raspberries—Violets—Storing Cauliflower.
Can you tell us how to prevent having wormy raspberries? For the last two years ours have been worthless from being wormy.
I want to have a bed of violets. Must I use roots or can I get seeds?
How can cauliflower be put away for the winter? We cut ours from the stump, turned the leaves over the heads and packed them closely together, but some of them have spoiled.

We do not know what insect it is whose larva infests raspberries. If any of our readers can supply the information we trust they will give it.
Purchase the roots of violets, it is not practicable to raise them from seeds.
Cauliflower, like the strawberry, is good enough to be eaten when it is ready. It does not improve by keeping. The heads may be kept in a cool cellar for a considerable time if they are pulled up with some soil adhering to the roots, and set in rows in the cellar with the roots covered with soil. Tie the leaves together or turn them down over the heads.
THE BROADWAY CENTRAL HOTEL,
New York, which has undergone a thorough rebuilding, is now open to the public.
This is altogether the largest hotel property in New York, and, with the present improvements, will have a valuation of nearly two millions of dollars and accommodate over one thousand persons.
Mr. Haynes, the new lessee, is making it a great popular house for families and business
men, at popular rates, for which the location is admirably adapted. The new cable-cars on Broadway reach every fashionable store, theater and attraction of the city, and transfer with all cross-town lines, reaching every station, dock and ferry in town.
