of about 5.5 degrees, keep somewhat 

 shaded and spray them occasionally. En- 

 courage the root action in every way. 

 I am a firm believer in grafted plants. 

 They not only produce a better flower and 

 a better stem, but they are not so sus- 

 ceptible to disease or to injury from mis- 

 treatment, which last is ai) important 

 item when you are unfortunate enough 

 to have poor help. This applies to the 

 teas only. In the case of Beauties I 

 have seen no advantage from grafting 

 and favor own root stock.

GERANIUMS. 



To the florist with only a limited 

 amount of room the question of grow- 

 ing a sufficient number of geraniums 

 cheaply and profitably is a serious one. 

 Yet, with plenty of hot-bed sash, con- 

 siderable quantities of good plants can 

 be economically produced. 



Taking it for granted that all avail- 

 able space is occupied in October or by 

 the time the plants outside ought to 

 be in, dig your plants, taking off most 

 all the foliage, pot into medium-sized 

 pots and place under the lightest 



benches until mums or some other crop 

 is out of the way, when the geraniums 

 can be brought up and placed in the 

 full light. By January the first batch 

 of cuttings can be taken and propaga- 

 tion can continue until the first of 

 March, when the old plants can be 

 trimiiir.l ha.Jc. -haken out and repotted, 

 and liiMiiL'liI ;ili.n-' with the rest. 



By thu latM jLut of March or in 

 early April prepare your frames, not by 

 placing on hotbeds, but by putting 

 manure around and between the frames 

 so as to make them wholly frost-proof
