 benched they do not snii'er the least bit. 

 Of course, there is more work than in 

 the tield culture, and the expense of the 

 pots, but the results will well repay us,

THE MARQUIS CARNATION. 



In answer to many inquiries rej;ardin« 

 culture of The Marquis permit me to say 

 through your columns, do not pinch later 

 than the last week in .Tnly. House, if 

 possible, first week in \u<r\i*t. Before 

 housing shade lic:nil\ \\iiliiim,l. Renew 

 this as needed uniil ih. pljnt- are estab-

 Success with The .Miinjiiis depends upon 

 the observance of this rule. 



Plant firmly in medium loam, one-fifth 

 rotted manure, a judicious sprinkling of 

 lime and wood ashes and a liberal amount 

 of pure bone meal or flour, the lattci- 

 preferred. Do not plant too deep. As

 to dry rather than wet culture. A night 

 temperature of .50 degrees suits it. It 

 will bear feeding, but too much nitro-

To THE Editor: We don't know 

 whether the Lockland trophy belongs to 

 any one club or not. but you will know. 

 Mv impression is that it is yet to be 

 competed for. If so please insert it in 

 the shooting list for the tournament. 

 I We find no record of the Lockland 

 shooting trophy having been won and 

 piesume it is still to be won. Ed.l

 not for the intlu.x of Pan-American vis-

I find there are florists and nursery- 

 men and ornamental horticulturists who 

 visit our city and the Pan-American and 

 we never know it till some one from 

 the same town comes later and tells 

 us that Mr. So-and-So had been here.
