The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Hum the Celestial Pepper. Wlien in con- 

 dition at Hie Iiolidays it is a splendid 



in ihir,- ,nl„,.- x,.|hnv, "|iui|.!isl, and 



lu ^lllIi^;lll,.ll is ,i i,j,:i n-nl I y easy. 

 Many have discarded the plan of grow- 

 iiii; it in the open ground and lifting it, 

 liut prefer to sow seed about May and 

 keep the plants moving right along, 

 making the final shift into 6 or 7-inch 

 jiots or pans plunged out in the open 

 frames all summer and brought in be- 

 fore frost. 



A bench or house of this pepper well 

 grown and in full fruit is a grand' sight, 

 and the plants sell at sight at profit- 

 able figures. 



Three or four sowings, commencing 

 in April and extending to June, Avill re- 

 sult in salable plants from September to 

 Christmas in from 3 to 8-ineh pots. A 

 rich, open soil is best and the last shift 

 .should be made before the berries are 

 colored. .T. 0. E.
