RIPENING THE GROWTHS OF 

 EXOTIC PLANTS. 



Too much importance cannot be at- 

 tached to the proper maturation of 

 growth made during the spring and 

 summer months by many of the beau- 

 tiful exotic plants cultivated under 

 glass. The huge specimens we see at 

 the principal exhibitions are usually 

 crowded with flowers, and such results 

 could not possibly be obtained unless 

 strict attention were paid to ripening 

 the growth during the late summer 

 months. A system of gradually with- 

 holding water at the roots, combined 

 with a dry atmosphere and a sunny posi- 

 tion, should be adopted. Such subjects 

 as bougainvilleas, clerodendrons, alla- 

 mandas, dipladenias, rhyncospermums, 

 some orchids and many other subjects 

 should receive attention while the sun 

 has power t. assist us in this particu- 

 lar. 



Extremes must be avoided, always 

 bearing in mind that plant life must go 

 to rest gradually. In gardens where 

 the plants mentioned are extensively 

 grown a house can ofttimes be devoted 

 to them at the end of summer, and, 

 where possible, this is recommended, for 

 the simple reason that all may be treated 

 alike and that nothing else will snfler in 

 consequence. Full sunlight, accompanied 

 with all the air possible, should be given, 

 and the atmosphere be kept dry. As the 

 foliage decays, so must the amount of 

 water applied to the roots be diminished, 

 until only just sufficient is given to pre- 

 vent the wood from shriveling. Many 

 growers place their specimens in the 

 open ; this system is not to be recom- 

 mended, except in cases where the hpa\'y 

 autumnal rains can be carried off, by 

 means of a temporary roof. 



One of the best flowered specimens of 

 Stephanotis floribunda I remember stood 

 in the full sun in the jniddle of the 

 month of August and throughout Sep- 

 tember, and it was a perfect sheet of 

 flowers when exhibited the following 

 year. A close study oif the various 

 plants is, of course, necessary, as some 

 require more drastic treatment than 

 others. — H. T. Martin, in Gardeners' 

 Magazine. 



Florence, Pa. — T. G. Arnold, the flor- 

 ist, planted some very effective beds last 

 season at Eock Springs, Chester, W. Va., 

 and has the contract again this .vear. One 

 large bed to be planted this year will be 

 42 feet long and 22 feet wide, and will 

 be planted with eaunas, Queen Charlotte.
