MULCHING FLOWER BEDS. 



The advantayes accruing to all kinds of 

 plants that are bedded out for the sum- 

 mer months when mulched is alwa.vs ap- 

 parent, and the time bestowed upon the 

 work is amply repaid by a greater wealth 

 of flowers, and increased vigor in the 

 plants generally; they are thus able to 

 bear a spell of hot and dry weather with- 

 out drawbacks. 



Certain plants derive greater benefit 

 from mulching than do others; for in- 

 stance the calceolarias make a more 

 stocky growth, and flower more freely 

 when tiie soil is kept in a constantly 

 cool moist state. I apply a mulch of de- 

 cayed mushroom bed materials to all 

 beds of calceolarias, of which we grow 

 about 1,500 plants, the mulch being ap- 

 plied as soon as the planting is finished, 

 and very few plants die. If gardeners, 

 especially those who have to deal with 

 light soils would mulch, they would have 

 no reason to discard calceolarias. C. 

 amplexieaulis attains four feet in height 

 here, and flowers profusely. 



Among subjects that may be mulched 

 with much benefit are violas, tuberous- 

 rooted begonias and fuchsias. In large 

 gardens it may not always be possible 

 to do much mnlching. garden hands being 

 few, or the material insufficient; it is 

 well, however, to give it to those plants 

 that are known to derive the most benefit 

 from a mulch. Cocoanut-fibre refuse is 

 another very good material, but it does 

 not equal the mushroora-bed manure 

 owing to its lack of manurial properties. 



The plan of carpeting the soil beneath 

 the taller bedding-plants, much in vogue 

 in some gardens, is also of assistance in 

 keeping the surface soil cool and moist, 

 but the roots of these carpet-plants take 

 out much moisture from the soil, and are 

 not so good as a mulch. — IJ. T. Martin, 

 in Gardeners' Chronicle.
