SPIREA FOR EASTER. 



"Bob" asks "the time to plant .spiien 

 to have them in bloom at Easter?" 



The time of planting is of little conse- 

 quence. When first received in the fall 

 they can be stored away with some earth 

 around them in a cold frame. Not later 

 than New Year's pot them into 6, 7 or 8- 

 inch pots, according to the size of the 

 clumps, and start growing in the green- 

 house at once. For the first nionth start 

 them in a temperature of 50 degrees and 

 afterwards they will take a higher tem- 

 perature. As Easter is very early this 

 year they will want all the time from 

 New Year's on to get them in. 



Two important points in forcing spi- 

 rea are: ' An abundance of water at all 

 times and no fumigating with tobacco.

THE KANSAS CITY SHOW. 



The final premium list for the great 

 exhibition to be held in Convention hall, 

 Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 18 to 23, has 

 been issued. 



The premiums are very liberal and 

 there are some "specials" that break 

 the record for anything offered in the 

 past in any city. The liberal prizes for 

 100 American Beauty roses are Interest- 

 ing many rose growers. And in this con- 

 nection Mr. Thorpe wishes us to an- 

 nounce that the final awards on cut 

 flowers will be made immediately after 

 they are staged and that exhibitors 

 should see that they are at their best at 

 that time. 



Copies of the premium list may be 

 had by addressing F. J. Taggart, Direct- 

 or-General, or John Thorpe, Superintend- 

 ent, Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo.
