Can you divide this into only three pieces, which, when rearranged, will form the design given as No. 2?

[Solution]

A DEAL IN ROSES

I sent an order for dwarf roses to a famous nursery-garden, asking for a parcel of less than 100 plants, and stipulating that if I planted them 3 in a row there should be 1 over; if 4 in a row 2 over; if 5 in a row 3 over, and if 6 in a row 4 over, as a condition for payment.

The nurseryman was equal to the occasion, charged me for 58 trees, and duly received his cheque.

No. CXIII.—FIRESIDE FUN

This puzzle is not so easy of solution as it may seem at first sight.

Take a counter, or a coin, and place it on one of the points; then push it across to the opposite point, and leave it there. Do this with a second counter or coin, starting on a vacant point, and continue this process until every point is covered, as we place the eighth counter or coin on the last point.
