CYCLAMEN. 



"C. L. D." asks: "Are this year's 

 cyclamen bulbs from seed worth saving 

 over? If so, with what treatment?" 



Mr. D. means plants that are a year 

 or a little older from the seed. Yes, 

 they are occasionally carried over, and, 

 if successfully, make very large plants. 

 There may be more than one way of 

 handling them. The following I have 

 seen done with success: As soon as the 

 plants are out of flower keep them rather 

 dry and in a cool house. Don't let the 

 bulbs shrivel, but if the foliage goes, 

 no matter, because the rest is good for 

 them. In May or early June a good deal 

 of the soil can be shaken off, and start 

 them growing again either in a house or. 

 what is still better, a very mild hotbed. 

 Of course they will want shifting during 

 summer. They make very large plants, 

 but when you consider what a splendid 

 plant can be grown from seed in one J-ear. 

 it is seldom that cyclamen are carried 

 over, and I would not recommend anyone 

 to bother with them. W. S. 



ADVERTISING BY RETAILERS. 



I note the question asked by one of 

 your subscribers regarding advertising 

 by retailers. I have long been interested 

 in this subject. I have tried circulars, 

 programs for various occasions, church 

 books and papers. Have always had 

 reading matter in two of our local 

 newspapers. 



But I think I got the best value from 

 a sclieme I tried this season. I got sev- 

 eral hundred thermometers with my name 

 and business address on, and distributed 

 them freely in our public places. It 

 seems to me that this is the best adver- 

 tising of all, as a thermometer is some- 

 tliing that anybody will hang up. and 

 then the people cannot help seeing v.uir 

 adv. 



I would be much interested in hearing 

 from other retailers on this subject of mt 

 vertising. Q. Ho'lst, .Jr.

Says W. S. in his invaluable seasonable hints, "Aster, Zinnia, Ten-

 annuals," all of which you will find mentioned in our advertisement
