BULBS, 



Referring to recent references in the 

 Review to bulbs for early forcing, E. 

 Leedhani. of the Leedham Bulb Co., 

 Santa Cruz, t'al., says that early ripen- 

 ing of tlie bulbs greatly facUitates earl,y 

 forcing. Though he does no forcing in 

 the sense the word is used in 

 the east, he gets earlier and a better 

 quality of blooms by planting undei' 

 cover. It has been an advantage to him 

 to afterward ril>en up the bulbs as soon 

 as possible and he soon noted that those 

 bulbs which had been ripened early 

 bloomed earlier the following season. 

 He now has bulbs of datTodils that have 

 teen ripened early for several years in 

 succession and these bloom very much 

 earlier than others. This is cspncially 

 noticeable in Golden Spur. Ard Righ, 

 single Von Sion and Trumpet JIajor, 

 though the latter is full of old maid 

 freakishness. Even Prineeps and oth- 

 ers show the tendency to earlier oloom- 

 ing when the bulbs are ripened early. 



To ripen the bulbs early in Santa 

 Cruz they must be protected from the 

 late spring rains. Though he has so far 

 used all the increase in his liulbs for 

 planting for cut flowers, he believes the 

 bulbs can be produced here as economi- 

 cally as abroad and of better quality. 

 He says also that early ripened Cali- 

 fornia grown daffodil bulbs of the early 

 varieties could be delivered in the east 

 via Panama in early August. 



PLANT NOTES. 



Rose Pruning. 



This little note is not intended to give 

 any ideas regarding the pruning of forc- 

 ing roses that are grown under glass, 

 "but merely a few suggestions as to the 

 trimming of bushes that are grown 

 either as ornamental shrubs or climbers 

 for the garden or kept for commercial 

 purposes, whetlier as stock plants or for 

 flowering purposes. The best time for 

 rose pruning depends to a great extent 

 on the weather, but is usually during the 

 months of -January and February. They 

 should be as near dormant as it is possi- 

 ble to have them and when the roses have 

 been watered considerably, late in the 

 season or when we have ])lenty of early 

 rains and very little cold weather, the 

 plants continue to bloom and grow far 

 into the winter. In such seasons the 

 best time for trimming the plants will 

 probably be about the first to the middle 

 of Februarv.

Hybrid perjjetnals anil hybrid teas will 

 stand much moie cutting than the tea 

 loses. In fact. I have fuund that many 

 of our finest teas do not respond readily 

 when the shears are applied vigorously 

 and unless I need the wood for propaga- 

 tinjf purposes I trim very sparingly, and 

 tlien onlj' the small side shoots and such 

 stems as are necessary to leave a shape- 

 ly plant. Such sorts as Niphetos, Bride, 

 Bridesmaid, Catherine Jlermet. Papa 

 Gontier. Eainbow and Marie ^'an Hou- 

 tte, certainly our most valuable garden 

 roses, I find belong to tlie class that will 

 not stand any slashing with the knife. 

 With hydrid i)erpetual roses such care 

 need not be taken, and my rule is to cut 

 out all lateral shoots and leave only 

 three or four good stiff stems, as these 

 will be ample to handle all the flowering 

 stems that the roots can supply. The

best varieties among the hybrids to grow 

 for market are General Jacqueminot, 

 Paul Neyron, Ulrich Brunner, Gloire 

 Lyonnaise and Mrs. John Laing. 



This is not a very extensive list, but 

 these are the most satisfactory kinds to 

 handle and there is no difficulty in sell- 

 ing the blooms, which, in the springtime 

 and again in the fall, bring as good a 

 price, when well grown, as do the indoor 

 roses at the same time. There is a big 

 market in the cheaper class of stores for 

 the poorer flowers all the year. 



Roses, especially the hybrids, grow 

 most luxuriantly when planted in heavy
